    This is a tough, as it depends on what they like to wear.

    DD1 has 3 summer dresses, that she chooses to wear all year, she just changes the type of tights she wears. There is no proper winter uniform, other than trackies and a polo shirt, both of which she has refused to wear. She also refuses to wear skorts, even though I bought 3 them, plus tops. Also have the polar fleece jacket and vest, along with a couple of basic windcheaters.

    I am spending a fortune on tights Just wish that girl would wear socks.

    My kids started school with:

    2 dresses
    2 jumpers
    2 shorts/skorts
    2 polos
    2 pants

    I found that to be HEAPS, I was every day anyway so they would always have 1 uniform in the wash and 1 clean. I added more to that every year, we have so much uniform now it's not funny.

    Astrid, my girls would go through a pair of tights a week, but I started buying them leggings to wear during winter and they are so much better! two pairs of leggings see them through the entire winter. Do you think she'd wear those?

    Trillian - I will check out leggings, she may wear those. The winter cotton tights are not so bad, as they are tougher, just the opaque ones she trashes and they can't be repaired. Should have seen me snap up all the discount tights at Best and less one day, $1 a pair

    I have been HANGING to buy DS's uniforms, are you getting a size up to accommodate the possible growth in the next few months? I was considering waiting until later on but I don't want to miss out.

    So EXCITED to hear you ladies are buying up now lol
