[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No,, I'm a snob about clothing.  No characters, no logos across the chest.

I allow one character pajama per year though.  [/quote]

I too am a complete snob about kids clothes. I’m also incredibly cheap. So, while I had strict rules about logos and “word” on kids clothes, I also had no problem digging through bins at consignment sales for said clothes. I found a goldmine of Hanna Andersson stuff at Unique once. My daughter wore those $20 of clothes until they wore out. 
I’m unapologetic about this. My best friend’s fourth grader wore a black tank dress with a high low hemline and wedge heeled boots to her brother’s bar mitzvah, she looked like a drunk sorority girl walking up the steps of the synagogue. I love her mom and I love that kid, and I know that she threw an incredible tantrum to wear that outfit, but that stuff doesn’t fly in my house.

No characters, no words (exceptions are colleges that my husband or I attended) or “cute” sayings (messy hair, don’t care!) and nothing black. Little kids wearing black is just hipster nonsense. No spaghetti straps tank tops worn as shirts. [/quote]

My kid went through a phase in second grade where she loved black clothing.  (Now she loves rainbows.  Kids are strange.) She also likes shirts with "earth friendly" slogans on them, like an shirt that says "Clean seas, plant trees, help bees."  She LOVES that shirt.  I avoid logos (I don't wear them myself), but she's getting to the point where she has her own clothing preferences.  I think that things being age-appropriate is important, but I'm not doing to impose my personal preferences on things that don't really matter.  [/quote]
