6 Awesome Clothing Items You Didn’t Know You Could Buy

By Courtney 42 Comments


In case you missed it, the Baby Tooth page was updated yesterday with Lucas’s 18 Month update!

Man, I just love it when I find out about random fashion items out there that could absolutely make a difference in my day to day. Sometimes, some of them are just totally outlandish and wayyy to far out there for me. Other times, I find something and I’m like “ohmygodwhydidn’tithinkofthat?!”

I recently came across a few fun items that I thought I’d share with you all because, hey, we can all use some new, random, somewhat unnecessary items in our dresser drawers every now and then. But this first one really takes the cake…

Keysocks

Women's No Show Sock Pair - Nude

I mean, how amazing are these? Trying to wear flats or pumps in the winter months can pose quite a challenge. These socks help keep you warmer than the little footie things you can buy and also help keep your shoes on. I’m sold!

Ponytail Headbands

25 Brilliant Clothing Items You Didn't Know You Could Buy -- Keeps your ears nice and toasty with a convenient ponytail hole.

You guys want to know one of the number one reasons I don’t wear headbands like this outside? Because I can’t get them to fit around my hair half the time. But having a headband with a whole cut out for the ponytail? Genius. Why hadn’t I thought of that??

CamiBands

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in need of something like this, especially when it comes to adding an extra layer up on top. I mean, I certainly don’t have the cleavage that the woman is sporting in that picture above, but sometimes you just need a little more to help cover up. I also love the idea of adding the layer under a shirt; added length always looks a bit more slimming, in my opinion!

Blouse Buttons

Essential Collection

Going off of my comment above, sometimes a shirt just needs a little something extra to keep you from showing off too much of the goods. BUT, you don’t want to look tacky by tossing on a random safety pin and having that show. These buttons would be perfect for keeping things under wraps and also adding a little pizzazz to your top!

Portable Protect Bra Travel Organizer

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve traveled, only to open up my suitcase to discover that my bras have been mangled and dented. Aaargh! This case is hard molded to prevent dents and bent underwires, and also has a separate compartment sleeve for panties. Love it!

Play Mat T-Shirts

Play Mat T-Shirt [M] Christmas Gift For Mom Train Play Shirt New Mom Shirt Mom Birthday Back Rub Shirt Railroad Shirt Train Track Shirt

I don’t know…maybe I’m crazy, but I have always, absolutely LOVED having my back massaged, rubbed, or drawn on. I can still remember being in elementary school, sitting on the rug during story time, and all of the girls asking each other to either play with their hair or “draw on their back.” Was that just a “my school” kinda thing? Either way, I always love that feeling…and when Lucas gets old enough to understand how he could use this shirt to ride his cars around on, I can guarantee you that I will absolutely be getting one of these. Keep the kiddo amused AND get a mini massage? Sign. Me. UP.

(You can check out more fun clothing items in the original post I discovered, here!)

Have you discovered any fun, random clothing finds lately that have made a difference for you??

    Love these neat clothing ideas. I recently discovered grace and lace after seeing them on shark tank. They sell beautiful top extenders and also dress extenders. So much fun finding out new clothing ideas

    This is too funny! I really like the keysocks, but I wonder if they would actually stay up while rubbing against pants?

    LOL The first thing I though about when I saw the lady with the cleavage was, "Gosh, I wish I had those boobs". Ahhh, the itty bitty club. And I love babysitting any child because I always have them walk on my back.

    A playmat T-Shirt! Omg! Haha! My brother and I would always "play" ob my dad's back in the morning to get him up on the weekends when we were younger! That would have been perfect! haha!

    Nope, def didn't know those existed! ha I like the cami bands idea, though I think it's funny that the woman who covered up her boobs has wine. It's like, covered breasts makes you classy enough to drink wine, unlike the other hussy. ;P

    That playmat shirt is too funny! I've had my fair share of little cars rolled along my back/arms/legs thanks to some little cousins, but hey, I love getting my back rubbed (the girls in my elementary school totally did the same thing).

    I discovered nude peds, that are almost stocking material for wearing in flats that would otherwise get ruined (i.e., stinky) by wearing them barefoot. My boyfriend thinks they're hideous, but they're so functional.

    Haha you're not alone when it comes to playing in the hair/ drawing on the back. That happened when I was in school too. I still love it when a little cousin tries to play in my hair. I get a little bummed when they stop. :-)
