[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, people who only like new clothing, do you guys have little girls or little boys?  I have a 3 year old son, and while I have purhased him some cute baby gap stuff in addition to target, I'm always happy to take hand me downs of any sort.  He's super hard on clothes, is always getting dirty, and often wipes his nose on his sleeve.  I like him to look good as much as the next mom, but it only seems to last 15 minutes or so after I get him dressed in the morning.[/quote]

I have a girl, but all kids are hard on clothes, which is the primary reason I don't like hand me downs.  I don't wear used clothes from a second hand store myself and theres very little chance anyone previously wearing those had a poopsplosion or use the sleeves as a tissue.  I dont like the thought of my kid wearing clothes that some kid previously had a ton of accidents in.  And after washing each item of my daughter's every week, they tend to look quite worn after a while (god knows how they look after 2 or 3 kids).  And add to that the fact that 90% of American girl clothes are not my taste (with all their sparkles and pink and purple and frills and unicorns), and I would be hard pressed to be excited to receive hand me downs.  For the record, my daughter is in daycare all day 5 days a week, and I am not rich, but I am good at getting jcrew crewcuts, Ralph Lauren, gap, petit bateau, and other nicer brands for target prices.  You just have to be smart about shopping, and stock up during the big sales etc.  [/quote]
