[quote=Anonymous][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]

Don’t bring Ferris into this, he had GREAT taste in clothes.

So, this afternoon, I saw a grey haired middle aged “mama” woman walking to pick up her kids from the school bus, the was barefoot, in pajama bottoms, without a bra and a some logo tee, and mister Rodgers cardigan. I can only assume that you are this woman. And I can only assume that your kid is the one who popped off the bus in a paw patrol tee shirt and biker shorts, with a cheapie character backpack from target.

Ferris would not approve of you. He had style, he had taste. You, went to pick up your kid from the bus stop barefoot and in your pajamas at 3:30 in the afternoon. [/quote]
