Like its name implies, the clothes at Cutie Patuties are super cute. Plus, they’re only gently worn. Young kids outgrow clothing so quickly that consignment stores make a lot of sense, both for the environment and for the family budget. Our readers combed the area and found this shop, open seven days a week, to be definitely worth a look.
