Ruffles are the devil! They are impossible to iron! I have to use the hair straighteners on them!!! </p> <p>2) Buy everything a size too big because DH WILL tumble dry it and it WILL shrink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824663 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 06:22:00 +0000 ValentineMommy 1824663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely have no self control. It's a good thing he's a boy, because I feel like there's much less cute stuff for boys than girls. But still. DS has way too many clothes. And I can justify every single purchase :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824208 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 19:29:05 +0000 skipra 1824208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely need way more pj's than anything else.</p> <p>I prefer my babies to be comfy rather than wear a cute outfit so a lot of the non onsie/pj's go unused when they are tiny.</p> <p>Take hand me downs and just fill in where you need! Usually pj's, white onsies as undershirts, socks, and shoes.</p> <p>I am so sad about the clothes that still fit DS1 but he can't wear now that he's potty training. Meaning don't buy or get attached to onsies, overalls, rompers, etc once they get close to that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824192 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 19:17:14 +0000 avivoca 1824192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I LOVE JEGGINGS!!!! She had a cute pair of polka dot jeans that she could barely move in. Sigh. I just bought her the next size up of my favorite target jeggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824188 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 19:12:58 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1824188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @grizz: I actually LOVE white stuff because I will just use a 1/4 cup of bleach in the wash and they always come out sparkly clean, whereas I can't do the same for colored items! LO has many white polos because of this. I also try to keep all his onesies white (especially FF days) so I can use bleach :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824186 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 19:11:31 +0000 lady grey 1824186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: yes! I never used oxyclean before having LO. Now I use it all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824118 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 18:34:58 +0000 Bao 1824118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To buy used! They grow so fast and if they ruin something it's not so hard on the wallet. We do buy them new things but usually only on sale :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824112 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 18:26:29 +0000 sandy 1824112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: @autumnlove: yes! My LO can't run and climb and play freely in jeans - jeggings all the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824107 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 18:22:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 1824107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as I buy stuff in her size or one size up, she will grow two sizes in a month. We got a bunch of stuff for her birthday that I'm going to have to exchange for the next size. </p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I'm obsessed with jeggings for her. I have bought the same old navy ones with the ruffle butt in three sizes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824084 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 18:01:17 +0000 spaniellove 1824084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When looking at the price, always ask myself "How would I feel if he only wore this once?" because there's a good chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1824080 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 17:50:48 +0000 Corduroy 1824080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The diaper pattern shows through on thinner/lighter color leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823922 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:49:26 +0000 autumnlove 1823922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823911 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:40:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1823911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Denim sucks.</p> <p>It sucks to put it on them, it sucks to take it off them, and it is not comfortable for them to run around in.</p> <p>Jeggings for the win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823899 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:31:34 +0000 jedeve 1823899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha my LO only has two pairs of shoes! Crocs and tennis shoes. The tennis shoes were a gift. </p> <p>I learned - buy cheap clothes and let them play in the mud. No need to tell them not to mess up their clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823758 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:15:32 +0000 yoursilverlining 1823758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: so much yes to no white clothes! My MiL is obsessed with buying e white clothes - beautiful all white pants, lovely all white sweaters. I always bite my tongue not to say "maybe you haven't noticed but LO is a TODDLER!" Jeez, I don't even trust myself not to stain white clothes, let alone a 2 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823747 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:12:16 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1823747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Along those lines... don't buy rompers around the time you plan on potty training (learned that the hard way - bought some cute rompers that season that only got worn a handful of times... sigh)! The last thing you want to do is struggle with buttons when they're about to pee their pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823735 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 14:09:26 +0000 Smurfette 1823735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: @lawbee11: word<br /> @septca: I am amazed at how many pj's we go through a week now that she is feeding herself </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823711 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:59:34 +0000 cascademom 1823711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Definitely need more pjs than I originally thought. </p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: This is one I'm learning right now. We got a bunch of hand me down 2T stuff. It'll last him until about Christmas, then we'll rely on 3T stuff. It feels like he's already growing out of the 2T stuff and he turns two in two days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823701 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:55:59 +0000 aegie 1823701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: yes. and yes. and yes again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823688 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:50:43 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1823688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: this!</p> <p>And lets be real....i don't buy ANYTHING that needs to be dry cleaned or ironed ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823636 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:28:29 +0000 Boheme 1823636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That everything is just going to get stained and dirty anyway, so don't spend too much.<br /> Don't buy stuff that's white.<br /> Don't buy things you have to iron.

There are sales ALL THE TIME. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823617 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:15:03 +0000 illumina 1823617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I obviously cannot judge how fast, or slowly she grows...so I've stopped buying further ahead than the coming season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823614 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:14:24 +0000 autumnlove 1823614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I am already going through this with my 2.5 year old!

I've learned to save myself the headache and clutter by just buying clothes when I need them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823610 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:13:07 +0000 looch 1823610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned that at potty training time, you have to go with pants you can pull up and down, no zippers or buttons. Way limits the amount of pants one can buy for a boy.</p> <p>I also overbought on shoes, and snow boots were a thumbs down for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-something-you-have-learned-about-mini-style#post-1823608 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 13:11:42 +0000 blackbird 1823608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't need as many clothes as you think....when you let your kid run around in just a diaper most of the time. #classy</p> <p>@septca, or none at all!!!
