Over the weekend, we filled two huge garbage bags of the girl’s clothes to donate to some lucky kid/s. Many of the items were barely worn. None of them fit. She’s growing so fast we can hardly stay ahead of it. We had to replace what we weeded out so we headed to Old Navy. We did really well, finding knit pants (kind of like yoga pants) that were two for $17, nice khakis for $21, and long sleeved tee shirts that were two for $15. The shirts are great because they’re nice and long, preventing the dreaded belly exposure. Every shirt she had from last year made her look like a refugee from a streetwalker training camp.

It’s so tough to stay ahead of growing kids and still outfit them in ways they’ll feel comfortable. My daughter mentioned, in passing, that one girl she knows (a friend of a friend of a friend) gets all her clothes from Limited Too. Nice try, sister. If I won’t spend $50 on a casual skirt for me, you’re certainly not going to get one when it’s only going to fit for three months.
