The only time we've gotten comments for LO1 is when he has on girl hand-me-downs. He had a fuschia hoodie and some jeans with ruffles at the hem that they really liked :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes/page/2#post-2501424 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 09:15:34 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2501424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, dd has some nice clothes and a lot of average stuff, but her teachers have enough going on to worry about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes/page/2#post-2501417 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 09:11:42 +0000 snowjewelz 2501417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No b/c I actually don't dress her in super nice clothes since I never know what they get into there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes/page/2#post-2500833 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 09:29:00 +0000 youboots 2500833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, as a follow up to my last post on this thread I put T in a floral one piece sweatshirt romper and the workers complimented me about how cute she looked. They never say this because she usually wears boys hand me downs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2500831 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 09:26:12 +0000 LatteLove 2500831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely get asked this sometimes! But I also learned quickly not to send him in his most stylish outfits because they get destroyed at daycare! So now he wears a lot of basic bold tees and pants and doesn't get as many compliments 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2500752 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 00:01:01 +0000 PawPrints 2500752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thought about this thread today because I laughed when I first saw it, since LO's clothes are all from Buy Nothing or Carter's gifted from grandparents. But then this week DH (he does all drop-off and pick-up) told me that the daycare teachers have gone out of their way to mention how cute DD's clothes are! Makes me feel good about the 30 seconds I spend in the morning picking out a coordinating outfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2427282 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:44:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 2427282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They used too, before she started picking out her own clothes. Now they just laugh because she wears teh same 5 dresses....every week. I get sad because she has the cutest clothes that she refuses to wear. The baby is wearing hand me downs for sister, so they've seen most of them before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2427192 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:10:32 +0000 Alivoo01 2427192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They did when DS was an infant. We inherited a bunch of super cute clothes from my dad's co-worker so I didn't buy him much. Now, he's in Carter's with occasional Baby Gap or Children's Place tossed in. So definitely not as cool/hip as he was as an infant. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2427142 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:43:05 +0000 Kimberlybee 2427142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD isn't in daycare but she gets lots of compliments when we are out and about. I'm a shopaholic but I wait for good deals. She loves to wear pretty dresses right now too. I'm glad we have DD2 because we'll get lots of wear from the toddler clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2427135 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:37:40 +0000 Canoli 2427135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so but I dress them in Old Navy/Target/Carter's stuff so while I think it's cute it is nothing out of the ordinary. My boys play hard at daycare and since I don't spend a lot of money on clothing I don't care when they come home with stains and holes in the knees. My neighbor gives us some J Crew stuff it I save that for nicer occasions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2427070 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 07:20:24 +0000 ValentineMommy 2427070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and it's typically about his jackets for some reason lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426999 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 03:10:43 +0000 lamariniere 2426999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. But I don't send them to school in cute things, otherwise they get wrecked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426950 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 00:12:57 +0000 erinpye 2426950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wears a uniform, so no! Haha! But, I have been asked in other places- the answer is usually Old Navy- love their kid stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426925 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 23:49:02 +0000 youboots 2426925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope she mostly wears hand me downs both her boy cousins wore to daycare. Or the cheapest clearance stuff. Nothing matches. She may win an award for worst dressed 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426900 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 23:10:47 +0000 HLK208 2426900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: yes! bbcabc :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426889 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 22:55:31 +0000 PinkElephant 2426889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Us, too! The girls' teachers (preschool and special activities like ballet/music) always comment on their boots. We're doing school tours now and we've even gotten remarks there. They're nothing super fancy, but they do often have styles of boots very similar to mine, which may be what gets them noticed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426860 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 22:18:50 +0000 pinkcupcake 2426860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: haha I love clothes ... She has enough to dress a small army of 4 year olds ;) I really don't think she's repeated an outfit yet for preschool. And I know I sound crazy, but I buy most of her clothes on the BST boards and resell after she wears them so it's almost like renting ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426846 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:54:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2426846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He used to! But now that he's older I don't dress him as cute because he always ends up covered in dirt by the end of the day! he typically just wears jeans or sweatpants and a regular (dark colored) top. There's been a few times he wears a cute sweater but nothing to write home about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426839 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:48:20 +0000 Bao 2426839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: I think my LO has cute clothes...but I think simple and basic works for school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426835 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:43:33 +0000 T-Mom 2426835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to, but not since she started putting her own outfits together. Wah. My DS wears exclusively Thomas shirts, so no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426819 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:28:57 +0000 travellingbee 2426819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But I only have boys. And DS1 is soooo messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426817 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:27:03 +0000 MenagerieMama 2426817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: oh good! Haha. She wears the same pair of shoes each time until the season changes. And has a handful of my less favorite outfits that I rotate (great way to use weird clothes MIL sends!). Although who am I kidding, she's not exactly a trendsetter at home either, hsha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426811 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:22:52 +0000 Bao 2426811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: noooo! My kid gets basics too, sweats or leggings. It's preschool! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426795 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:11:09 +0000 MenagerieMama 2426795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man. I send LO in her unmatched grubby clothes because I figure I have no control over stains and other dirtyness. Now I feel badly she's the fugly dressed kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426787 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:05:59 +0000 regberadaisy 2426787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: they love her brown Target boots and red converse. All the teachers want the brown boots in adult sizes. LOL</p> <p>@pinkcupcake: haha LOL how much clothes does your LO have?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426722 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:22:35 +0000 Bao 2426722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. She wears the same few things and often dresses herself. They at least know she dresses herself though ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426718 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:21:00 +0000 pinkcupcake 2426718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, no, but they (and other parents) always comment that she's the best dressed in her class :) And that they haven't seen her repeat an outfit ever ...</p> <p>I love BST ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426715 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:18:32 +0000 BandDmommy 2426715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Hahahaha I don't even try and explain BST </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426711 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:17:25 +0000 BandDmommy 2426711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they call DD a mini fashionista. And all the teachers love Brennan's shirts and true religion jeans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-daycare-teachers-ever-ask-where-you-buy-your-kids-clothes#post-2426690 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:02:54 +0000 kodybear 2426690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: she doesn't wear them regularly since everything gets lost at preschool but they were from the etsy seller childhoods. I don't think they make them anymore but this is what they looked like. Haha cute but not super practical for preschool. She also had some knot headbands from jute baby that are similar but she stopped letting me put them on her :sad: </p> [attach=327/16/o16dku.337x600.image.png]
