My children only wear Janie and Jack

With you.

NP here. For my first child (a girl) I received a gift from a family friend of some extraordinarily bad clothes (think poodles) that I ended up taking to the local JnK at FOM (value was $100). What I initially ended up buying of all things, was a $20 onsie; I subsequently went to try to spend the rest of gift credit but found the outfits to be ridiculously overpriced (IMO). JnJ is owned by Gymboree which is also overpriced as far as I'm concerned (and not that interesting in terms of clothes).

I hate Target and refuse to shop there -- kid stuff is commercial crap and overpriced; have very occasionally shopped for Carter's at discounters and retail, and agree with previous posters that the quality depends on where you buy....

I do agree though with the resell posters. We have been very fortunate to have received a ton of brand name baby clothes so don't judge.

PP here: poodles were a JnJ collection set but horrific

First DS wore beautiful, classic clothing. I wouldn't tolerate commercial characters or stupid sayings or GAP in huge letters on his shirts.

I am so over it. Second DS can wear whatever heinous ensemble that his dad lets him pick out when they shop together. Spiderman? Little Monkey? Bring it. Letting DS have a say in his clothing is fun for him and liberating for me. I look at photos of first DS now, and frankly, he looked just a little too precious.

People are sensitive about price tags, even if they deny it. If they don't care, this thread will never be this long.

OP here and ITA! I could never have worded it this nicely. Thanks. And actually this is the reason for this thread. Women like the haters here are the ones making comments on my children's clothing.

It's time for you to decide whether you want to talk about clothing or not. Every time somebody points out that they are not impressed by the way you dress your kids you suddenly decide that your child's outfits should be of no interest to anyone. But of course it was you who started the whole topic and thrown quite a few insults towards those who are not as stylish as you imagine yourself to be; just a few pages ago you posted your daughter's outfit.

As a matter of fact that outfit reveals that your style has a long way to go. It's not a big deal; those things can be learned if you want to learn them. But you act (with no basis whatsoever) like some well-established fashion authority here - we can talk about fashion but only if we agree with you. That is not going to fly.

OP here. I never claimed to be fashion savvy and I never used one word to insult anybody or their style. I think you're confused.

I'm actually more like the PP who mentioned having a hard time putting stuff together. I buy stuff is already set up and I'm pretty happy with the results. I was just wondering why some people like to talk about price tags of children clothing when they don't know the person they're talking to.

If you like preppy clothing (and it seems that you do) check out Ralph Lauren. It's classier, more toned-down. Prices are similar to J&J.

Anyone can go to the mall and buy matching outfits from a chain store. Including me. It's easy and convenient. But it's not fashion.

Even so, if someone is gracious enough to complement you or your children, how about smiling and saying thanks? It's hard to go wrong with that.

My dd used to wear j and j (my choice) but now pretty much wears target (her choice). I have to say the quality of j and j is really good. I gave a lot of her clothes to friends and they have held up really well.

DS had a classmate at preschool that was always decked out head to toe in Burberry. I swear, that mom must have bought at least one of every single piece of children's clothing they made. I had a conversation with her once about clothes and I made the comment "its nice that #2 is also a girl, you can hand down all of those nice Burberry clothes" to which she looked at me in horror and said "I would never hand down to DD, I only hand down to the nanny". That's one lucky nanny.

Not Burberry, but I'm pretty certain there are a dozen kids in San Salvador wearing awesome, hardly worn Ralph Lauren and similar clothes from my kids.

My kid wears mini Boden and Tea Collection. Few Hanna's but no pants b/c they run large in the waist. Mostly b/c I hate to shop and particularly boys clothes. I don't think I've ever stepped into a brick and mortar for him ever and he's five. The stuff he outgrows goes to relatives or donated at school or Martha's Table.

Shit. Bring back the little monkey!!!

So it's a game, right? Everyone knows OP is a troll but is playing along? Right?

OMG you are right about this!!! DD cannot even wear Hanna leggings because the waists are so voluminous!!! By the time her waist is big enough to have the leggings stay up on her, the legs would like end at like her knees. They are the oddest-sized brand, IMHO. (at least for DD's body)

[Anonymous]

Yeah, those Hanna's are the downside of online shopping although I would never have my kid try stuff on in a store either. We have a lot of character shirts and pjs from the Disney Store so I have nothing against Cars or spiderman. Only can't stand kid clothes shopping in a store. I've never been inside a Jack and Janey, Gymboree, children's place, etc.

I never returned those hannas by the way. The 80/90 cm pants work well as shorts for the 5 yr old. LOL!
