[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter wears Justice (a favorite among her friends) clothing, Gap, Nordstrom, Uggs, etc. all hand me downs from family.  Who the hell cares where it comes from originally, after one use it is used.  So it is only "new" the first time worn by the prior owner (to us).   I love when we pass our used things on to someone else.  My daughter is right now wearing clothes that three girls before used.  My niece will wear the items next.  Do you think any one of those girls care?  I also get school supplies as inexpensively as possible.  Again, who cares?[/quote]

There are people who care.  I cared as a kid and I still care as an adult.  Most kids clothing (even the best brands) looks worn after a while.  A pair of UGGs is pretty trashed after my daughter has worn them for a year or two.  I hate how washed out older clothing looks and anything knit gets misshapen after a season or two.   It is fine if you do not care but some of us do care and do notice.  I guess you just have to hope your daughter doesn't care.  I still resent my parents for not buying me more and better clothing growing up.  My kids are like me.  I spend money to buy them nice stuff (I still shop sales and outlets of course) and they are really into their clothes.  People compliment them all the time. Different strokes is all.  [/quote]
