For my sins, a baby clothes store was opened half a mile away from my house. And yes, Klara has more outfits than an aging socialite, but how can I resist going to the store? I was literally their first customer when the store opened this morning. They didn’t even have the computers running yet when I showed up. Of course, that’s when I discovered that baby clothes are expensive, especially for something that only serves you for a couple of months.
From the time my son ran out of gifted baby outfits until his teenaged years, I did most of his clothing shopping at resale and consignment shops. Socks and underwear obviously have to be bought new but since children tend to outgrow their clothing before they wear anything out, there is generally a good selection of lightly worn items available.
Oh course it is not nearly as much fun to dress a boy than a girl, so I can understand the temptations you face.

I will now have an opportunity to demonstrate how I fight against and defeat consumerism in myself. 🙂

To be fair, you need a lot of outfits because N’s doing a lot of laundry. ❤

As a child I really liked the Oshkosh things, they were very nice and better than the other things. And I did not know they were more expensive or prestigious, I just liked the feel of the cloth, the quality of the buttons.
