Striking yet classic, high quality yet affordable, and preferably green – it’s a simple list that I like to take clothing shopping with me. However, balancing that quality–affordability equation can sure get tricky when it comes to looking for holiday party dresses.

When my daughter was born, I re-discovered the joy of travelling that two-way street known as consignment stores and hand-me-downs. What fun it was to open up the bags and bags of barely used baby and toddler clothes from our friends and family; and again what a pleasure it was to pass along all of our most special but (sadly) outgrown items so that they could be worn and enjoyed by another little one.
