Maybe you need a few more years between kids for hand me downs? She would donate them after I grew out of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-a-lot-of-handmedowns#post-961673 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 07:20:41 +0000 Dandelion 961673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I got my cousins clothes...my younger cousins also wore them. I remember handing stuff down to them and then seeing them wearing my stuff. It was weird to me to see that, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-a-lot-of-handmedowns#post-961667 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 07:18:16 +0000 Honeybee 961667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two older sisters, so pretty much everything I wore was a hand me down until I got into middle school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-a-lot-of-handmedowns#post-960966 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:56:12 +0000 SugarplumsMom 960966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

I didn't get clothes brand new until waaaaay later in life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-a-lot-of-handmedowns#post-960950 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:53:11 +0000 mrsdoily 960950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am the oldest of four kids, and my parents took turns being single parents to us, and we were pretty poor growing up, so we wore a lot of goodwill clothes that were then handed down. I was not a stylish kid by any means. It probably wasn't until middle school that I started getting new clothes consistently and even then, they were "cheap" clothes. It just made me work harder to try and fit in with my personality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-a-lot-of-handmedowns#post-960949 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:53:08 +0000 autumnlove 960949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Was the green checked dress a handmedown? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-a-lot-of-handmedowns#post-960936 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:49:27 +0000 chopsuey 960936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I have 3 older girl cousins and 2 older sisters.<br /> cousins passed clothes on to my sisters. and I got to wear the clothes after my sisters wore them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-wear-a-lot-of-handmedowns#post-960932 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:48:34 +0000 autumnlove 960932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a lot of my brother's old clothes until I was 4. My mom said I was really vocal about wanting girly clothes after I started preschool. </p>
