Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

HOnestly I have not really bought ds many clothes this past year. I got a lot of clothes when he was born, Christmas and now after his first birthday he has his winter wardrobe. I usually just buy pj's, and onesies from Children's Place or the department stores when they have sales.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I buy her clothes from Old Navy, its cheap and they have the cutest stuff. Sometimes I will shop at the Gap. My inlaws are always giving us Gap gift cards for her when they see us. I love Dennys but they are very $$, so I only go there once in a while. Childrens Place is ok, but I never really see nice stuff there, very rare.
I dont see spending a lot on clothes also, she will only get a few months out of them, she is growing so fast.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I try not to, but it's hard not too when everything is sooo cute! She does get lots of gifts thank goodness so I also buy mostly PJs and onesies and a couple of outfits here and there.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

No, not really. I also got so many clothes when she was born and for Christmas. Basically, I didn't really need to buy anything until summer. Her b-day party is this Saturday, so I'm anticipating a lot of fall/winter stuff.

When I do shop, it's mostly at Old Navy and BRU--I find their prices to be very reasonable.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I'm a big bargain shopper so I'm going to say that I don't spend alot. But I do love to browse and make some purchases. It's so hard to resist especially with a girl, you will see. I get alot of really nice hand me downs from my SILs so its really not even necessary for me to shop at all. But I still do...

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I used to spend whatever, now I spend on sales only. Plus, there is always her grandmother

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I don't like to spend a lot on anything! I LOVE clearance racks

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I received hardly any cloths at my shower, maybe 10 outfits and everything was 0-3 or 3-6 months. I try not to spend to much on cloths but he is growing so fast and more in the length than anything so it is hard to keep up.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

Still working on shower clothes as well. I only spend the money for outfits that I really love(boutique stuff). The rest is Grandma and Marshalls/Burlington......

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I bought a bunch of pjs and outfits for daughter before she was born - all of them for both boy or girl - since I didn't know we were having a girl. We received so many outfits since she was born - and lots of hand-me-down clothing from 2 good friends of ours - so I haven't bought much clothes. You will be overwhelmed with clothing after the baby is born - so I wouldn't buy too much. Daughter is already 6 months and I have over 2 full containers of clothing that doesn't fit her anymore and she isn't even a year old and so many outfits that she barely wore - Unless its an outfit I really love or for a special occasin - I don't believe in spending too many money - since they grow so fast

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I've barely spent anything. When she was born, we got soo many gifts - she got more summer clothes then she could even wear. And such gorgeous outfits she only got to wear once.

My mother's been doing a good job of building her fall/winter wardrobe. I've picked up a few items than I HAD to have, but otherwise I just shop with grandma

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I TRY no to spend alot . Sara goes to a babysitter and I cant see putting her in nice things there. I love Denny's however it is very expensive. Century 21 is great - they have ggod bargains. I stress I try not to spend alot but sometimes I just cant resist.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I didn't have to buy Kaylee any clothing for this past year, granted i bought things i felt were too cute to pass. Lately i have been spending a lot on clothing trying to get her readdy for the colder weather. I sale shop as much as i can. I will admit when it comes to holiday attire or party clothing i am really bad at staying in limits.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

OMG- I buy so much baby clothes it makes ME sick.

I can't stop. She wears everything once

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I buy alot of clothes for my son, I am a bargain shopper so I am always scouting the sales but if I see something he "has to" have I will buy it without even thinking about it.

I blame it on two things... 1) I don't buy any clothes for myself anymore, too disgusted and 2) he's a boy, I have sooo much trouble finding good boy stuff that I am always looking! I think girls are easier, everything is flippin' adorable.

on the sale note: The Gap Outlet is having great sales on baby/toddler stuff! 30% off their already marked prices on everything. I got jeans, and camo pants for 7.69 each and tops for $6.99 each!

ETA to answer the question - no I don't think so

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

not really, I just can't justify spending money when I know she will outgrow them so quickly.

I have been blessed with getting handmeovers, gifts and when I do buy her clothes, it's on sale.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

yes and no, i go to gapkids, old navy, childrens place, sometimes gymboree, and babies r us. sometimes i can even find something i like in target. but to tell you the truth i am on my 3rd boy so alot is hand me downs!!! edited to add that it's only the good stuff that lasts long enough to hand down. like clothes from the gap

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

not really but if we have to go out somewhere special, I will buy a nice outfit.

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I buy most of his wardrobe staples at Target. And I shop Baby Gap sales and Old Navy. My 'splurges' are outfits from L&T when they are having a sale and I have their coupons!

So I think I get good deals, but he has a LOT of clothes!

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I can't resist the adorable Ralph Lauren stuff that TJ Maxx has all the time!

Re: do you spend alot on babys clothes?

I have major shopping issues, but I pretty much only buy things if I feel like it's a good deal. My son hasn't even been born yet and he's got enough clothes to last him the first year of life- not like that will stop me from shopping.
