[quote=Anonymous]I have a six-month-old daughter and aside from one "dressier" outfit, I have not yet bought her a single item of clothing. My girlfriends all have boxes of stuff and let me sort through and pull out what I want. Nothing is dirty or stained or ripped. It's all name-brand stuff that we wouldn't be able to have otherwise. We live on a tight budget and are trying to set aside a bit of money each month for college. I love seeing cute brand new things in the stores but I have to ask myself if it really is worth the tradeoff. For our family, it's not and I wouldn't have it any other way.

As I'm sorting through their stuff I put the initial of their last name on the tag (takes 1 second) and I'm incredibly grateful to be lucky enought to have such wonderful friends. They always offer and on occassion when I need something specific, I don't feel bad asking and they are always great to look for it. For our older DS we have bought some stuff new and have given them to our friends with instructions that they should pass them on when they are finished since we're not having any more kids. We all shared maternity clothes too. Maternity suits and work clothes cost a ridiculous amount of money to be worn for such a short time. [/quote]
