mama2cntrykids Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think that I have issues. I keep buying my dd (who will be 8 months on Friday) more and more clothes. They're just all so CUTE. I can hardly help myself:tongue_smilie:. At least they're used, so they're being re-used, right;)? Tell me that I'm not the only one here...please?? Oh Lordy. Don't get me started with the summer clothes...too sweet for words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmama Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 This will probably feed your addiction but have you ever tried thredup? I use it all the time and LOVE it. I've gotten clothes on there, homeschooling stuff, and today my DD got a leapster2 with 2 games! If you decide to sign up let me know - I can give you a coupon for $5 your 1st box.

jillian Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Goodness no you aren't the only. When dd was a baby (under a year) I probably bought almost every single piece of clothing from every line (baby) from Gymboree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAS in LA Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 My dd is 6 and I still get itchy fingers for all those CUTE baby dresses at the thrift store. So far, I've only actually bought one "for a friend's baby", but haven't given it to her yet. I think friend's baby may now be too big for the dress. :D Is it too soon to buy for our grandchildren?

Spryte Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Another baby girl clothes addict here! :) My little girl is 9 mos, and I can. not. stop. shopping. ThredUp is awesome - if you haven't signed up... Go do it! It is addictive, and you can pass along all those cute, barely worn clothes. And Gymboree has some great sales... Bad me. Bad. Bad. Must stop shopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Dd had so many dresses it was ridiculous (an explosion of pink my husband said once). However, half of her dresses were ones I purchased at dress sales for the following season, or year, or several years (I still have 2 dresses dd can not fit into yet). Just wait to you start buying bows to go with all the dresses, you need a new one for each dress because the colors are not quite right. Besides dresses, I would purchase yards and yards of material to make dresses because my poor baby girl needed clothes:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 if the baby girl has a grandma, grandma may decide there is no amount of clothing that is enough for the baby girl. Baby girl clothes are sooooo cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 They need infinitely fewer clothes than we think they do -- as is evidenced by the rubbermaid containers I have stuffed with adorable outfits that now even my grand daughters have worn and are back in the containers waiting to see if other little ones can use them.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchen table academy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Uhm yes, I'm addicted to shopping for my kiddos. Especially Buglet and New-baby (who has yet to reveal its gender to us). Buglet has a whole diaper box full of winter clothes that he has not worn yet. Mostly because we've had a pretty mild winter here and haven't really had a reason to break out his tiny Carhartt bibs or the several pairs of lined pants and thermal tops and onesies I purchased in the fall. Here's to hoping that #4 is a boy...because I have so much barely worn/lightly worn/like new stuff for a baby boy that it isn't even funny. Not that I'd mind shopping for a girl but I have two good sized Rubbermaid totes FULL of stuff for a boy. Except for newborn-6 mo stuff, which I stupidly left in storage when we moved last spring and it got ruined. I'm a total consignment hound, thrift store diva and yard sale monger. I also have a love affair with Craigslist and ebay. Haven't tried thredup, but maybe that's a good thing. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyR Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Definitely not the only person. There is way to many cute outfits out there for little girls. My girls have more clothes than I do. And to think I have four girls. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy in Australia Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You are not alone :) After 2 boys and a 10 year gap, we had a girl. Oh dear. I remember writing on FB that I thought I might need an intervention or something. I was out of control :D and because most of my friends had mostly boys who were older, they went berserk, buying stuff for DD too. It was madness for a while :biggrinjester: She's now 2 and I have a little more self control, but it can be touch and go ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpskowski Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm not a shopper at all! But I have a friend just like you all. Now I have enough clothes to outfit my twins for anything, anytime, anywhere. We just go "shopping" in the attic. When they have outgrown the clothes, I donate them all to a local organization. I am actually very grateful for her shopping "addiction." My husband repays by doing odd jobs for them. Her husband is not at all handy.

Impish Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Girl clothes rock. Boy clothes, not so much. I've gotten to the point w/Boo that I'll only buy stuff I love, not 'good enough', simply b/c I've found that the stuff I love gets rewashed, reworn tonnes, good enough only comes out when I've put off doing laundry and am scraping the bottom of the barrel for something for him to wear while the washer and dryer finish :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already been buying for our "girl" before being pg, soon as the official ultrasound proving it a girl, I went shopping for everything pink I could find.

I totally can relate to this. I was just up in the attic going through dd5's hand me downs from someone at church and a friend of ours. Oh my! I brought down a whole new wardrobe (on top of what she already has for winter that she's outgrown b/c of her growth spurt). Plus, I had gone through and put what I absolutely didn't LOVE in a trash bag for the thrift store. Why keep clothes are you don't LOVE when you literally have WAAAAY too much:tongue_smilie:?

Pretty in Pink Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I can so relate! We had four boys before having our daughter. Her wardrobe is...ridiculous. It's embarrassing. Goodness, Gymboree has a ton of cute stuff (and Tea Collection, and Gap, and...). There is one children's consignment store here that I could live in. Aaaahh. I'm told that I'll get over this soon.
