Clothing exchanges?

I think we posted about this once upon a time but I can't find it on the dump so maybe I'm making it up. 

In any case - 

Where do you find nice, cute clothes for LO that isn't Carter's? I am not willing to spend $30 on a top she'll wear just a few times so I may be SOL. I love this little sweater I got for her from Peek but even that on clearance was pushing my monetary comfort limit. Is there a place I can get gently used stuff cheaper? None of the second hand shops I've found around me do baby stuff.

Do you have any kids consignment stores or Just Between Friend sales coming up around you? Most of DD's clothes are Carters but I've never spent more than $16 on an outfit (and even then that was only a couple of times). I always browse the clearance sections of Target, JC Penney and Kohls but most of her clothes are second hand.

I tend to shop Hanna Andersson and Tea Collection end-of-season sales. Gap/Old Navy plus The Children's Place also have good sales and aren't Carters. Some people have good luck with Gymboree sales but I haven't figured them out yet. I also tend to not mind putting DS in too big outfits and rolling the sleeves/cuffing the pants for a period of time.

Crazy 8 is one of my favorites...but the smallest they carry is 6-12 months.

I found out about a couple consignment events through mom groups. I've had good luck there. I haven't spend more than $5 on anything for her with the exception of her christmas dress. ($10 Jack and Janie) I LOVE it.

I also vote target clearance. I got a bunch of tops for $2 each.

Crazy 8 (we have some 3-6 month stuff from there khopec ) and Gymboree have good deals and sales if you monitor things like Gymbucks and shop clearance. Also, we have huge kids' stuff consignment sales here several times a year and we stock up then.

Rhea Lana sales are popular here for getting good quality used baby clothes.

I love H&M. They often have racks of $2 clothes.

Just Between Friends consignment sales are the shit if you can find one within a reasonable distance. 90% of DS's clothes came from there

Check out consignmentmommies.com for sales around you.

Baby Gap, Old Navy, and Target are our go-tos for sure - the clearance racks are a godsend

If not consignment then clearance. You can get amazing deals on the sale racks. Even at BRU.
