I should remedy that.<BR/><BR/>Amy,<BR/>My parents find TONS of clothes in new-to-nearly-new condition at yard sales, that are completely stylish. It's true, they go through them so fast, other kids benefit. I try to do the same, passing on the kids' outgrowns.<BR/><BR/>Karmyn,<BR/>It's SO much more fun to shop for the kids! Plus, there's none of the fitting-room horror. It's like having life-size Barbies. That walk and talk and roll their eyes.markirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251025210237420959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34742349.post-41204869511202862192008-03-12T17:33:00.000-04:002008-03-12T17:33:00.000-04:00OMG!

I can't believe that she fits into a size 6! The red ones are my favorite too but I also like the polka dot ones! Geez, woman! I also love your MK sunglasses...I see you didn't write about THEM! Did I use enough exclamation marks for you?!

I was never very stylish, either, having no money to buy the things that were stylish, but rather second-hand or dorky stuff. I didn't have to wear boy clothes since I only have sisters, but I did wear a lot of out-of-fashion hand-me-downs.<BR/><BR/>Things are different today, a lot because kids only wear things for a couple of months before tossing them aside. This benefits my kids because I am able to find super-stylish clothes that are in great shape and cost next to nothing at my favorite thrift shop. My kids are well-dressed, but not because I spend a lot. In fact, I tend to be quite thrifty when it comes to clothes. I just don't think it was as easy to find clothes like that when we were kids.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07116309959024108648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34742349.post-26046302416603359252008-03-12T10:38:00.000-04:002008-03-12T10:38:00.000-04:00Growing up - I was completely oblivious to fashion...Growing up - I was completely oblivious to fashion. Suddenly all my friends would be wearing Guess jeans and I'd be completely blown away.<BR/><BR/>My daughter already has more fashion sense than I ever did. (which is kind of scary!)<BR/><BR/>I enjoy shopping for my kids too - more so than myself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34742349.post-56952937040613859092008-03-12T06:51:00.000-04:002008-03-12T06:51:00.000-04:00Paul,Dang, buddy, where ya been?!

I know you've been reading, but you've been so QUIET.<BR/><BR/>You asked what I think: I think you owe me two more quotes! ;)<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about saving the significant outfits. I did keep a lot of their baby stuff: the outfits each wore on the way home from the hospital, their first little pair of shoes, etc. It took years before I could let go of any of their clothes.<BR/><BR/>Now, I HAVE TO let go of their outgrown stuff, or I would literally be swamped with clothing. I would be swimming through a sea of jeans and skirts and dresses and tops and socks and swimsuits and fleeces and.... mkmarkirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251025210237420959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34742349.post-88731967715259198862008-03-12T02:30:00.000-04:002008-03-12T02:30:00.000-04:00mk - Glad to read that your enjoying this time in ...mk - <BR/><BR/>Glad to read that your enjoying this time in your kids' (fashion) lives. You already know, it all goes by sooooo fast! I wish I had actually saved some of my kids' more memorable outfits (Matt's 1st pair of Levi's, and his 1st pair of Docksider shoes, Katie's ballerina outfit that matched her 'my-size' Barbie..) Before you know it, nothing YOU choose will be acceptable....nowadays, it's just 'baggie' pants for him, and hip-rider jeans for her.....(sigh).<BR/><BR/>I know I'm a day late (2 days, now!) for your movie quotes...but - do you remember these?<BR/><BR/>1) Owen loves his mama!!! (Said by me to my son, when his mother has to almost beg him for a hug. From "Throw Mama from the Train" with Billy Crystal and Danny Devito).<BR/><BR/>2) Bring me back something French! (Said by me to my wife and daughter when they head out shopping, and tell me I can't go. From the movie "Home Alone").<BR/><BR/>Finally, a line that never works for me, no matter how many times I try to use it!! It's from the film "Silence of the Lambs", when Buffalo Bill is "transforming himself" in his lair with the girl down the well, and there is a song playing with the lyrics "Goodbye Horses". I use it to get my wife in the 'mood'...... It goes:<BR/><BR/>"Would you @#$* me? I'd #$%@ me!!"<BR/><BR/>For some reason, she just doesn't find it romantic!! :)<BR/><BR/>Whaddya think?<BR/><BR/>PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
