Not Kidding Around

When it comes to personal style, sometimes the easiest way to be unique is to find unique places to shop. And yes, it is just as easy done as said.

Now when I say "unique places to shop," I don't mean that you have to scour vintage or resale stores for items no one else will have or that you have to drop tons of cash on one-of-a-kind, made-to-order pieces either. And while you are certainly free to do so, if you're looking for an easy, inexpensive option, sometimes all it comes down to is shopping in the kids section. 

Stay with me here a minute. 

Kids stores don't just have clothing; often they have accessories too. Fun, playful pieces that you won't necessarily find anywhere else. The best part? They are usually cheaper. Heck, if I could fit into kids' clothing, I'd be shopping for head-to-toe outfits in a heartbeat. 

Moral of the story? Don't neglect the kids' department if you are looking to add whimsy to your wardrobe with some wallet-friendly accessories. I recently scored two adorable summer bags from J.Crew's crewcuts that will surely inject a little extra oomph into my outfits. 

(Shopping) Tricks are (not just) for kids.
