If I really love something I'll get it. I wouldn't feel bad if it's not a special occasion dress because she's more likely to wear it a bunch of times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567824 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:29:08 +0000 emg86 1567824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't wanna know what I spend on just regular ol' clothes, lol. I do sell about 99% of her stuff though and end up spending $5-8 per outfit when new or buy it used for a much lower price and resell again. You can find what you're looking for on tons of resale for a lot cheaper than $50 on Facebook pages :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567803 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:25:59 +0000 sunny 1567803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably about $25. I would spend a little more on a coat though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567773 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:16:06 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1567773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: @Bao: I am right there with you. </p> <p>Honestly the most expensive thing I buy LO is pjs, because I can't ever find them used (and we buy Carters from walmart/target for about $7 a piece). Almost every other item of clothing we own is a hand me down or bought at a children's consignment store. He has plenty of super adorable outfits, and I honestly don't think I spent more than $4 on any one piece, with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 in his lifetime. I know we live in an area that has lots of options though... To me, special occasion outfits aren't any different. They will only be worn once, so I try to combine pieces we already have or purchase something used/inexpensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567752 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:10:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1567752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one. </p> [attach=1506/14/n4195o.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567725 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:02:31 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1567725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: LOL south GA flare. Oh no joke. I told DH if this pregnancy is healthy and we find out it is a girl we are keeping that a secret...the south GA flare is a serious problem. Like the floofy bell bottoms!</p> <p>To be honest, most of his outfit clothes come from other people. But I have spent as much as 20 on one item (cardigan), which with jeans and a shirt would have been....like, 45 altogether. But we of course split the pieces up. With a girl it would be harder to get your money's worth out of a dress though!</p> <p>Id plan to get it for a specific occasion and then try to get more use out of it to justify the expense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567701 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:55:33 +0000 Smurfette 1567701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Oh my DH would love that one!

I try to stay around $20 for an outfit. Up to $50 for special occasion stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567690 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:51:52 +0000 googly-eyes 1567690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$20-25? I don't usually buy whole outfits together but she gets a lot (of cute ones!) from grandma. I mostly buy carters on sale although that is changing as LO moves into 2t. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567683 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:50:26 +0000 Bookish 1567683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Non-special occasion? 20$, and that's pushing it. I live for sales where I can get cute pieces for under 5$ ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567678 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:48:12 +0000 lamariniere 1567678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other than outerwear, probably 25-30. But I buy almost all of the kids' stuff on sale, so it's normally less than 15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567673 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:46:21 +0000 Smurfette 1567673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I have no idea! I think he wants one with her monogram. I just don't want it to have that South GA flare, ie. bows, ruffles galore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567670 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:44:46 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1567670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$50 but only if it has a high resale value. </p> <p>But I would spend more than that on a winter jacket since that'll be worn every day for 6 months, and now that the kids are older they last years esp when passed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567651 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:36:23 +0000 Aandmklover 1567651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$25 is my max and that's only for Gap Baby/toddler jeans because they rock. Everything else I wait for a deal. But I also have a boy so that may change if #2 is a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567635 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:30:17 +0000 looch 1567635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As he gets older, less and less money, since he seriously wrecks his clothing.</p> <p>I might spend $45 on an "I have to have this" item, but for his every day clothing, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567631 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:29:13 +0000 ILoveLettie 1567631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even for a special occasion I'd probably spend like $15 max (UNLESS it was for a wedding and the bride really wanted a specific dress). I am super-cheap, and I work at a children's consignment store so I buy everything used (but in great condition) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-you-will-spend-on-outfit-for-lo#post-1567629 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:28:38 +0000 Purpledaisy 1567629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe $20.

I normally don't spend more than $10-$15 on any one item - but I have made exceptions for items I truly love.
