When I heard that BritMums were looking for bloggers to complete a challenge in conjunction with TKMaxx naturally I volunteered my services – who doesn’t like shopping for their children and making them look gorgeous?
We were sent a £30 TKMaxx voucher and challenged to buy 3 different looks.
Upon receipt of the voucher we set off for our local TKMaxx wondering what we would find.
My local TKMaxx isn’t a massive one, and if I am honest the selection wasn’t huge. What they did have though was designer names at a fraction of the high street prices. I had my heart set on a pair of Royal Blue Bench jeans at £14.99, but they would have eaten up half my budget in one fell swoop.
I like Isaac in a shirt, and although they had a few styles by the likes of Ben Sherman, Animal etc, I decided against it as they were also around the £12 – £15 mark.
I went through the rack a few times, picking out my favourite items and then comparing prices and changed my mind what felt like a zillion times. At one point I even asked a lovely young assistant for help, and even she couldn’t get three looks for £30!
However, we had fun trying and Isaac adores his new clothes – here is what we bought:
Blue Combat style trousers that mix and match with everything for £7.99 and the below Medals T-shirt by Ben Sherman (£6.99), for an every day look – this is his favourite outfit by far and he is very proud of his “medals”.
Next comes the Sam & Jo Skull & Crossbones Jumper (£9.99), perfect for a visit to the grandparents house, by the river in Hythe!
Very snappy outfits – love the skull and crossbones/guitars shirt.
They are gorgeous aren’t they – could have spent a fortune in there!!
