I need to sort through her clothes and see what she needs for winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808880 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 08:21:21 +0000 swurlygurl 1808880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, about $50. That's just supplemental to hand-me-downs and frivolous shopping though. We've been really fortunate with clothing! L is only 18 months, so I imagine it will start to increase as hand-me-down quantity and quality start dwindling :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808802 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:57:56 +0000 looch 1808802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: Yep! I figure we buy shoes twice a year, and eventually that will slow to once a year. I could probably squeak out another few months on these current pairs, but they are really shabby looking!</p> <p>@locavore_mama: thanks for the tip, i am not subscribed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808770 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:45:03 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1808770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: oh that definitely makes sense. I hadnt thought about losing my cheap options as lo gets bigger. Booo.... But at least you dont have to buy them as often because they grow slower, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808763 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:43:27 +0000 bpcmarj 1808763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I literally never pay full price for anything. So, either clearance or consignment. She just went up in shoe sizes, but I only anticipate needing boots for winter (snow and ugh type). I dress her in leggings and long sleeve shirts with a sweatshirt 90% of the time. I might get her a quarter zip fleece from LL Bean because they are thin and warm and last years doesn't fit. I expect to pay about $100+ for winter assuming she doesn't go up a size in the middle of the year like last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808762 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:42:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1808762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I love prowling 6pm.com for shoes. Sign up for for their emails and they routinely send out 10% off coupons.<br /> Last year I got M a pair of Sorel for under $20! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808759 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:41:34 +0000 looch 1808759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: I prefer not to for shoes...it's the only thing I am really picky about. My son is almost 4, he's really hard on his shoes and most of the stuff in bigger sizes is also very worn out...it's part of the reason I think you see so much less variety in the bigger sizes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808752 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:37:01 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1808752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: can you find shoes at a childrens consignment store? I got lo two pairs of stride rite shoes for $5 each at our once upon a child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808678 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:53:10 +0000 AprilFool 1808678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spend too much on clothes even though I only buy on sale. One of my favourite things to do is dress her. I have just finished her summer wardrobe in the gap/zara sales but still spent a lot of $. And summer stuff is just coming out here and it is so cute!! I am in trouble :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808626 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:28:31 +0000 looch 1808626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 4 season weather, but I buy like we have 2 seasons, warm and cold. I do mostly play clothing and then have a few things for dressing up, which is really rare.</p> <p>The killer for us is shoes, I buy two pairs of $35 sneakers at at time. This year, I am not doing boots, but need a waterproof, weather proof shoe and am struggling. I know those are going to be pricey, which kills me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808599 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 05:42:30 +0000 lamariniere 1808599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: a snowsuit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season/page/2#post-1808557 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 02:48:00 +0000 regberadaisy 1808557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to stay under $150 for fall and winter which around here goes from September to April! </p> <p>I only shop on stupid clearance / sales new. And buy used off FB groups and HB classifieds. </p> <p>LO 2 won't need much even though they're 4 months apart. Maybe a few special occasion stuff and a thickets one piece footed coat thing. What are those called?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1808549 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 01:39:35 +0000 sunshinemama 1808549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thrift shop/consignment shop. Especially since she's so young I find that most of the baby clothes at thrift stores are in super good condition because most people's babies don't wear outfits many times before they outgrow them and even if they do, they don't move around enough to wear them out a whole lot. </p> <p>Even once she's older, I think I'll do the same because I hate the idea of spending a bunch on clothes she's gonna get messy in, and I definitely want her to be able to get messy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807976 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:40:46 +0000 lamariniere 1807976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not really sure. I just buy items as we need them, I don't usually buy a lot all at once. I also usually buy a size up in tops so we can get two winters out of them. The splurge is always winter boots. They have to be warm and waterproof, so they are expensive by default. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807972 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 13:37:37 +0000 lilteacherbee 1807972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably around $150. Both sets of grandparents shop for him and I'm kinda addicted to buying him clothes off eBay! I never buy anything full-price because he grows so fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807912 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 12:45:13 +0000 HLK208 1807912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: that's true...their fall/winter clothes have to last a long time in our area! But at least it's less $$ for summer clothes (actually, for the past 4 weeks it's been too warm for LO's to even wear pajamas so we save there!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807900 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 12:25:26 +0000 sandy 1807900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was under a year it didn't cost much to get her clothes for a new season but as she gets older it definitely costs more to update her wardrobe. In the Seattle area it will definitely cost us more than $300 to get her ready for fall/winter bc that will be most of her clothes for the year...pretty much from October to May it's the same temperature so they can live in the same indoor clothes and just change to heavier or lighter jackets and shoes for outdoors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807813 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 10:35:41 +0000 twodoghouse 1807813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still have some gifts that my twins are growing into for fall, but I've also bought a stupid amount of clothes for them. Like way more than the highest amount in the poll. I've become a really bad middle of the night feedings online shopper. I'm sort of embarrassed by it. I assume as they get older (and sleep through the night, haha) I won't feel the need to buy all the things. At least I hope so. Need to work on my self control! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807808 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 10:29:28 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1807808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get a ton of hand me downs and then supplement, less than $50 a season. So far $0 for DS2 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807799 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 10:15:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1807799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: last winter I think I definitely had to spend over $300- even sweaters that are on sale are expensive! And in MN he needed lots of sweaters- winter clothes are more expensive for sure so I don't think it's outrageous to spend that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807798 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 10:13:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1807798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been doing real good cause I got all secondhand for this fall! Mrs. train sold me loads of her sons clothes for an amazing price, and then I got a decent haul at once upon a child so I've spent about $100 total and he's pretty set I think. He just needs a few plain long sleeved tees that I might get from H&amp;M and then a snowsuit. I saw some for cheap at once upon child so I'll stop there again in a couple months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807785 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 09:48:49 +0000 DillonLion 1807785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got generous grandparents who love to shop for her, so I almost never buy anything at all. I voted 1-50 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807771 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 09:28:17 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1807771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sell a bunch of her things back to consignment stores, so out if pocket I will spend between $50-75. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807738 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 08:26:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 1807738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to keep it between $100-$150. I almost never buy something unless it's on sale, and there's a great consignment shop by my IL's house that her and I go to when we're there (and sometimes she goes to alone...she's already bought a few sweaters and a winter coat for him there--she texted me pictures first :) ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807389 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 20:06:47 +0000 avivoca 1807389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably between $100-$150, if that. H is a peanut and at 10 months can still squeeze into 6-9 month onesies. I shop at cheaper stores and buy secondhand. I will spend a bit of money on shoes once it gets colder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807382 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 19:53:58 +0000 Bao 1807382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: She will be in 12 months already :shocked: she's only 5 months! She is well into 9 months right now. She is very tall though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807332 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 19:06:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1807332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She goes up in clothing so fast that I shop at cheaper places like Target and kohls. I'll even get her shoes at Target, or TJ maxx. I get one nice pair of shoes from Nordstrom that last her summer/fall but even her feet grow so fast! I try to catch sales and shop with coupons. I buy a lot from old navy too!</p> <p>Maybe $150 for fall/winter and $150 on spring/summer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807242 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 17:23:30 +0000 loveisstrange 1807242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She went up a size in clothes and shoes, so we've had to buy everything. Plus, we moved to somewhere where the winners are worse, so we have no cold weather gear. I'd say less than $200? Not including a heavy coat and show stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807223 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 17:04:29 +0000 Boheme 1807223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will for sure be less than $200. I just don't see the point in spending a ton on something he will wear for 3-6 months. We live in a pretty warm area, so he won't need a heavy coat or snowsuit or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-your-los-clothes-for-one-season#post-1807212 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 16:49:46 +0000 HLK208 1807212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS probably needs the most since he'll be starting school (and it's 5 days a week). We've spent around $300 so far. We'll probably spend another $60 on shoes and $100 for coats/hoodies.</p> <p>DD can get by with less since she isn't in school and we SAH 2-3 days a week, so probably $200 for her plus $100 for coats? And probably $60 for shoes too.</p> <p>DD2 has most of her sisters clothes but we'll probably add $100 worth to freshen up her stash. </p>
