Holiday Finds @ The Children’s Place (Plus a GIVEAWAY)

Lately, SoCal’s weather has been unpredictable so I find that layering is always the best way to go. We were invited to browse the holiday collection at The Children’s Place and we were so happy that we did. Some of my closest friends know that lately I can’t get Preston out of his Transformers pajamas so was looking for regular every day tees and guess what? The Children’s Place had them! They have a huge collection of licensed tees. I love their Marvel Comics and Hello Kitty tees.
