Kids clothes - what's the most you have spent?

[Charlotte91]

I'm a kmart/target shopper. I spent $22 on a winter coat that lasted her this year and most likely next year as DD grows slowly (birthday next week and is still in alot of 000).
But, the most expensive thing was a 7pc set for $25 from Target. Had to buy it because DD was about to be discharged and we had nearly no clothes for her, and Target 00000 was about the only thing that fitted her, apart from Pumpkin Patch Premmie clothes.

I'll admit, I don't spend more than $7 an item.

The expensive things my DD's have have been bought by others as presents. I just can't justify spending big dollars on clothes that they wont wear much and grow out of way to quickly and I can guarentee that they will spill something on it 5 minutes after they put it on. I think the most I have spent is $18 on a dress for DD1.

I think about $100 on a pair of school shoes. Shoes tend to be the most expensive thing with the kids.

I used to follow her until I saw one day how narky she could be over other women making ruffles and that put me off her for good.

I would love to tell you my kids have lovely designer clothes but they are hard core players and I can't justify their stuff just getting trashed. We live in the country too and rarely go to lots of 'nice' places. Red dirt and those beautiful white outfits your see do not go together. So Kmart and Target it is. And considering DD has grown 6inches and 3 shoe sizes this year alone....well you know.
DD's shoes are getting more exxie due to paddle sized and width feet so they would probably be the most expensive. If I want something more lovely I hit ebay.

That reminds me..... I must get out my sewing machine!! I shamelessly copy ideas for kids clothing.

i dont understand why people pay so much for her stuff. i think I'm going to have to find her on fb to check this out.
my ds1 is wearing $70 sneakers at the moment, couldn't resist them! i don't mind paying $80 for good quality jeans as i know he'll get heaps of wear out of them and then ds2 will wear them. don't think i could ever spent that sort of $ on ruffles though...

Opps, sorry Divvy!

I follow quite a few clothes sellers on FB, mainly to drool over their gorgeous stuff. The bugger with twins is that you can't just buy one thing! A $40 gorgeous dress ends up as a $80 expensive mission haha.
DS does have a $100 snow jacket but I didn't buy it, my sister did. I am now in the position my older sister was in when I was childless and cashed up, and she would yell at me for wasting my money on expensive stuff for my niece. Now I have a son who is a dirt machine, and 2 daughters that rarely wear anything for longer than a few hours because they are vomitters, and tummy crawlers.

I so wish I could sew Cass

I tend to buy Target, JK kids, Charlie and me and Pumpkin patch but the PP is generally on sale very rare for me to pay full price for things.

Max would be $20 each for pants for a wedding.
$40 a Jumper Good woolen one
$15 a top
$20 shoes

Generally speaking thought pants are $5 - $15
Jumper $5 - $15
Tops $5 - $15
Shoes $5 - $15

I figure they grow out of things so fast and also wreck stuff by getting paint etc on it. When DS1 was younger I could pass 100% of things down to DS2 but now he is getting older it is getting less and less that I can pass down.

I think the most I have spent is probably $40-$50 on a special occassion outfit ie: a wedding. It bugs me to no end paying full price for new season clothing. I just wait for the sales, DD has no idea what is in season & what is not!
