On my 6th month, I started researching on where I can buy affordable baby clothes. I know Divisoria is the first place to go to, but with my delicate condition and heavy belly, I don't want to exhaust myself in a crowded place. Then I read at femalenetwork forum, some of the girls there mentioned a place in Bel Air, Makati that sells export over runs from Carters, Disney and other baby brands from Australia and States. I researched more on this particular place and found other blogs recommending expecting mothers to go there as it is a baby clothes haven.
Now that I am on my last trimester, I started completing my baby/hospital bag checklist and we have set this morning to check out that baby clothes store called, Hello Baby Garments. It is located at 48 Zodiac Street, Bel Air Subdivision in Makati City. When we got there, we found ourselves in front of a nice house and there was a "baby clothes" sign directing to the back of the house. At the back of the house is a separate storage room where shelves and shelves and shelves of baby clothes are stored.
I forgot to take a picture of the place as I got excited when the storage room opened. Even though I know what to expect, I still got overwhelmed because there really is A LOT of things you could choose to buy. From booties and mittens to blankets and cute onesies, You name it, they have it! I suggest you be ready with a shopping list of the things you ONLY need. Because once you are there, you might get carried away and over buy baby stuff. I also suggest you bring your mother or mother in law...so they will be the one to pay for the baby clothes. Hahaha!

I'm very thankful to have a supportive husband who came along and helped my pick our baby's clothes. After almost an hour of rummaging thru the shelves, we bought the following:
6 pairs booties
6 pairs mittens
2 bonnets
4 pajama bottoms
2 bath towels
1 receiving blanket
4 onesies

| Things we bought: 6 pairs booties, 2 bonnets and 6 pairs mittens |
 |
| 2 baby bath towels and 1 receiving blanket |
 |
| 4 pajama bottoms and 4 onesies |
They offer clothes from newborn to 6 years. Can you guess how much we spent for the things we bought? Our total bill was Php 1,900. Not bad, right? I did a canvass before at SM and saw onesies cost around 200 per piece and a baby towel costs around 300. I think if we bought all these at SM, we would be spending twice the money.
The kimono tie side shirts and burp pads were already bought by my mother in law so I didn't buy anymore at the store. To all mommies, do not buy too much newborn sized clothes because babies grow really fast. :)
