As many of you all know I homeschool my children. Part of the homeschooling that we do, we take our own yearly photos. So besides trying to figure out setup and layout and such of those photos, I also have to figure out outfits. More importantly, I want nice quality outfits that won't break the bank! So I was actually surprised that I could find such items from U.S. Polo Assn. because I was always under the impression that they were way out of my price range. Well, it turns out I was pretty wrong and that they pretty much always have sales - making their products pretty affordable! Nice quality, fashionable and affordable - you've got my attention!

As I stated in the beginning, I was super excited about checking out U.S. Polo Assn. I mean, they're name brand and the fact they are affordable just boggles my mind and has me super excited! Well, here's what we had a chance to check out:

 

 

For my 3-year-old son, Jace, I got the BOYS 3 PIECE HENLEY GRAPHIC TEE & JEAN SET. This comes with a pair of jeans and 2 short sleeve shirts. The jeans have 5 (usable) pockets as does one of the shirts. As any parent knows, pockets are essential, especially for little boys! The jeans have a very nice quality to them and the shirts are lightweight. Not to mention they are pretty soft as well. Jace normally wears a size 3t, but he is quickly growing so I went with the size 4. They fit as expected so this set is true to size. Normally this set retails for $54, but it is currently listed for sale for $24.99!

 

 

For my 9-year-old daughter, Sophia, I got the LACE & DENIM DRESS. I love how this looks like it is a two-piece set, however, it's simply a one-piece dress. The dress features an attached button-up denim top with a tie front that is attached to a lined lace skirt-like bottom. As with Jace's outfit, Sophia's dress is high-quality and well made. She is typically a size 8/9 so we went with the size 8/10 and once again, it fit accurately and true to size on her. The dress is perfect for casual and dressy-casual wear. Plus it is lightweight, which makes it perfect for fall weather! Normally this dress goes for $40, but it is currently on sale for just $21.99!

 

 

As for myself, I was pleasantly surprised when I received the CREST SIDE KNIT JACKET and the STRETCH DARLINGTON SKINNY JEANS. The jacket is a quilted diamond pattern so it's perfect for the cool fall weather. I love the red color and the heavy-duty (well, nice quality zipper) in the front and the 2 small side pockets. I feel like I can easily and comfortably move around in the jacket. I'm normally a size medium, however, I like my long sleeve shirts and jackets a size up (so a size large) for a more comfortable fit. Based on that, it seems the sizing is pretty accurate for me there as well. The jacket is normally $88, but is currently on sale for $45.99! However, for today only, the jacket is just $29.99 with the coupon code on the page! See what I mean by all the sales?!  The jeans have a nice comfortable and accurate fitting as well. I love the whole 'split' design at the end of the jeans! These are normally $59 and marked down to $24.99! Plus, they're super comfortable on top of being super fashionable!

 

As you can see, U.S. Polo Assn. has a nice variety of clothing to choose from. The only one who was left out for this one was the hubby, but that's okay. They have stuff for men, too, so I may have to surprise him! I love how I am getting nice quality (and name brand) items that are affordable. Maybe the retail price is out of my normal everyday budget, but the sale prices that they often have fit right in! So if you're an "average Jjoe" like me, you, too, can enjoy quality items and highly recommend U.S. Polo Assn. - especially right now with their Black Friday Sales they're having!
