The Beginning of Grace's Spring/Summer Clothing

I decided that I needed to start stocking up on some Grace's clothes for the next season coming up.  Since I am starting off with NOTHING, I decided to start early.  I didn't do the best job but I didn't buy anything at full price and saved a total of 46%, so it is a nice start.  Plus I spent a little more at Gap but I have always had the best luck with there clothes holding up through wear and wash.  Knowing that I will have another little girl wear these same clothes makes it easy to buy from there.
