$40 too much for a 16 m/o tee?
So I was in Nordstoms yesterday and picked up the cutest tee for DD. It was on the clearance rack, but no price tag.
So I go to the register thinking how much could it be? Well $38 dollars later....
I was surpried but bought it anyway.
Now, I never would spend that much on just one piece. But I'm curious as to what others think.

I have bought a few shirts for my kids for that price - once in a blue moon doesn't hurt

I feel the same way and if the price tag was on it, I would have put it right back. But it was cute and I figure every once in a while is not so bad.

Me too - its crazy but its not like I do it all the time.
Right now I have my eye on a $60 bathing suit for Ava. Its so adorable and I held off on buying it last year and its taunting me again for this season

I don't do it often, but every once in awhile, yes I do spend lots of money on clothes for Joey. In fact, I recently bought him a $60 Ralph Lauren sweater that was adorable, but I matched it with a $7 pair of Target jeans, so I justify.

Re: $40 too much for a 16 m/o tee?
Honestly, for a t-shirt I wouldn't even spend that kind of money for myself. I certainly wouldn't do it for DD who would grow out of it before wearing it more than twice.

Re: $40 too much for a 16 m/o tee?
I've never spent that much...but if it was really cute, and I had the money - I would. Lily grows so slowly that she really wears most of her clothes out. So, I'd be sure to get my money's worth out of the shirt!

Re: $40 too much for a 16 m/o tee?
I wouldn't! If I loved it, I would look for it on ebay where it's probably a fraction of the price.
I saw a cute junk food one that said "Little Miss Sunshine" on it at Nordstroms. $40! Target had a similar one for $7.99

Re: $40 too much for a 16 m/o tee?
thats a little too much for me to spend on a t-shirt. I just feel like they grow out of their clothes so fast and wouldnt get to wear it that much for all that money spent on it...
if it was for a special occasion or would get worn alot then maybe, but thats still pushing it (for me anyway)
maybe i would get it if someone else was paying

Re: $40 too much for a 16 m/o tee?
the most I ever spent on a shirt for DS was 20 bucks But I very rarely buy him any clothes since my family gives him stuff. I think I would have bought it at that point (since no tag) but the price bothers me and I would end up returning it

I had total buyer's remorse and almost returned it. But I said forget it, it's cute and I never do this, for myself or DD.

if you already have it, and love it, keep it and enjoy it!! Make sure you take pics of DC in it before it's too small

If DH knew how much I spent, she'd be wearing it every day...even for her baths.

Re: $40 too much for a 16 m/o tee?
Not for a T-shirt. I would spend that on maybe a dress for DD for a special occasion, but no way for a T that will be too small in a couple months.

Re: $40 too much for a 16 m/o tee?
For a Tee maybe not but I did buy DD #1 a leather jacket for 150.00 but I can justify it now cause Taylor can wear it lol
Once in a while is totally fine.
