I've always got a running pile destined for Lifecare that I just can't bring myself to use. They must hate me there for always bringing such ugly stuff!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622076332118544031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079520532538100750.post-67795981933328809542009-12-22T11:39:17.064-06:002009-12-22T11:39:17.064-06:00Yes, we would wear clothes if we got them for free...Yes, we would wear clothes if we got them for free - but Nathan's stopped getting hand-me-downs... In fact, Nathan has a sweater/courduroy set from his birthday in the closet he's about to get big enough for - and he's going to wear it, even if it's not "my thing." I don't think I've bought a single shirt for Nathan - all of them have been gifts or hand-me-downs. And the only outfit I've bought for Jacob has been his dedication outfit. (Oh, and 2 long-sleeve undershirts to put under his short-sleeve onesies when he was tiny and it was so stinking cold.) Normally I just stick to whatever I can get at WalMart as well, but they had NO jeans in his size - they had one style, and all they had was 18 mo and 5T. Since I was going to have to go on a hunt, I was going to make sure to get what I wanted!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020823960481091772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079520532538100750.post-1545917883407676832009-12-22T09:00:03.951-06:002009-12-22T09:00:03.951-06:00I firmly believe everyone has an OCD... and I beli...I firmly believe everyone has an OCD... and I believe we have found yours!! You and pants are like Paul and chicken. I got to thinking, and I'm equally opinionated about my kids' clothing, but everything they wear has either been passed down from friends or purchased by my mom or mother-in-law. My mom has pretty good taste, but sometimes it's just not my style. My mother-in-law only shops garage sales, and there are times that all I can say is "yikes"! The few things I purchase are usually from consignment sales, garage sales,or Wal-Mart's clearance rack, so my options are pretty limited. In the end, I'm just grateful that I spend less than $100 a year on clothes and shoes for both of them. They wear an awful lot of stuff that I would never choose, but I figure I won't like what they wear when they're older anyway, so this is just preparing me. Glad you found some jeans and dress pants that will work and got a good deal to boot.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622076332118544031noreply@blogger.com
