A Helluva Sale!

It’s May.  If you are a mom, you are in 100% crisis mode. The amount of volunteer requests, year-end assemblies, parties, and sports games that are loaded onto the last minute looks for camps still accepting applications, swim team preparations and summer vacation fine tuning is simply overwhelming.  Summer.  Yes, now we are all adding extra workouts trying to be less annoyed with ourselves come Memorial Day.  And, we are all realizing that our kids summer clothes don’t fit.  Great.  Now we have to find time to shop.  Well, take advantage of the Pears+Bears sale to at least let you tick off  “Be Financially Responsible” to your ever growing list of Things To Do!  Not a mom?  Need some things for yourself?  This sale has you covered as well!  Directions to the sale are at the end of this posting.

Pears + Bears

I walked into showroom to be greeted by signs for $5, $10, and $20 clothing.  Some items were as high as $35.   Check out the Pears+Bears website to see what an enormous deal this sale is.

Girls & Boys

You’ll see lots of items for Girls. They have sizes for infants up to 14.  I was able to find some pieces that will thrill my 7 year old daughter and even my 10 going on 18 daughter.

For boys, there are some cute shorts, jackets, and  john-johns. My favorite were the traditional pajamas (at $10) which I picked up for my 5 year old son.

A variety of things available in the $5 bin. The P.J.'s on the far right are the ones I got my son! The Blue Tunic in the back middle also went home with me! Most items in the $5 bins are size 4's, but there are other sizes as well.

Women

I then hit the back room to check out the women’s section.  I kinda wish I hadn’t gone in because I got so much….and I was just here to write a blog post!  I got: the softest tunic ever ($35 made from the same fabric they make their baby booties out of!), two of their “Western Blouses” ($10 each), a brown ruffle corduroy dress ($35), a pair of denim shorts ($25) and two ruffle short sleeve blouses ($35).

This dress is only $10!!! There are some zipper issues with this style, but who cares? For this price, just have Stitch-It replace the darn zipper!

Sizing: I’m normally a 6 – 8 on the top and bottom. More 6 on top and more 8 on bottom.  I went up to a 10 on the tops. I’m tall and I needed the length.  Also, I wanted to be able to wash and dry the tops.  The 8 fit me well, but the 10 will let me use these tops more willingly.  I bought an 8 dress and I’m almost always a 6 in a dress.  I bought a size 8 short which is pretty much right on (I doubted how cute these tab shorts are.  I was wrong.  They are adorable!).

Note: The ruffle blouse used to go up on the sides.  All the ones for sale now are straight across on the sides.  The old style did not work with my lower rise jeans and shorts; the new style does!  Thanks Kayce designer, owner, woman extraordinaire!

I went back to the front to see if there was anything else I missed.  And, yes, there was.  Kayce has some of her Layette collection on sale.  Look at this picture!  All of these things are together $40!  That’s not per item; this is the entire price for all these items combined!  Burp cloth, bib, pj set, and diaper bag!  This is a must get for anyone needing some baby presents.  This screams $150- $200 purchase….for just $40!!!

Just $40 for all these things combined! The PERFECT BABY GIFT!

Spring coats are $10 and Winter coats are $25. Spring 2009 dresses (including a smoked style which is new to the Pears+Bears line) are just $35.  There are some things for purchase that are not on sale (some 2009 shorts, capris, skirts) as they are still for sale, full price, at area stores.

A perfect big girl Summer or July 4th outfit that is only $20!

Time to check out. 17 items later (I’m still a little embarrassed!) and my grand total including tax was just $268.19  Pretty good, huh?  Here is a picture of everything I got!  My things are on the top and my kids things on the bottom.

Directions to the warehouse: Take HWY 70 toward Bellevue. The building is before you hit Old Hickory. When you pass the Lakes of Bellevue on your right (three red flags) you will see a State Farm insurance agency office on the hill. Pears+Bears in located on the back side of that office building.
