[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not about money. Try keeping a 2.5 year old in perfect expensive clothing when they are on the playground, in dirt, mud, painting, getting sweaty, eating. I’d rather them just be a kid and play them worry about keeping a shirt starched. And hair...everyday is a battle to brush or get it nice. I buy target play clothes because it’s cheap, convenient, looks ok, and if it gets destroyed, grown out of, lost in a bottomless cubby it doesn’t matter. Just let the kids play. When they are older want want to wear nicer stuff, we will get nicer stuff and they will need to be more careful.[/quote] Yeah, I don’t buy it. I have two very active kids who start out the day being clean, brushed and put together and encourage them to get as dirty and sweaty as they want. But they start the morning looking like someone loves them. BTW, more expensive clothing like Hanna Andersen lasts longer and releases stains better than cheap clothes which saves money in the long run. And even filthy, they look better. [/quote] I am really starting to dislike these HA, Boden and Tea Collection posters. Trust me, I've waited for sales and coupons and what not, its a lot of energy to spend on freaking *kids clothes* and they are expensive as hell if you buy them randomly. And I have 2 girls, and they do look worn out after so many washes. Only a few of them can be really handed down.[/quote] you probably don't have enough clothing. my girls and i love clothing and we have a bunch brand name stuff (HA being among the cheapest we buy). i have three girls and most of it looks new. but we have a huge rotation so no dress/shirt etc gets worn day after day after day...[/quote] Well, sure. If you don't wear [i]any[/i] brand of clothing as often, it won't wear down as much. This in no way contradicts what the previous poster is saying, which is that all this nonsense from HA, Boden, and TC posters about how their clothes magically don't stain or get worn out is ridiculous. [/quote] 1) clothes differ in quality but nothing is indestructible 2) some people rotate too few clothes leading to faster wear down[/quote]
