I'd rather focus dd2's clothing budget on things catered to her tastes, not basics!</p> <p>@erinbaderin: definitely the fairest option, but then I have to remember whose are whose, which gets hairy when the sizes/brands overlap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gets-the-new-clothes#post-2703676 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 23:14:27 +0000 PinkElephant 2703676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: I like this - that way everything gets two seasons of wear from someone, but the younger one isn't always stuck with the more well loved pairs.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: this is kind of my thought process as well - it's easier while they don't care - in a few years hand me downs might not even be an option!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gets-the-new-clothes#post-2703659 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 21:35:02 +0000 caterw 2703659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: I would do the same- they can share all the shorts this year and then the younger one can have them for next year also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gets-the-new-clothes#post-2703642 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 20:43:38 +0000 Cole 2703642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd just call it a win, buy more 3s and have them share all of them, then they always have a pair that matches! Or give them to your younger and the older gets new ones next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gets-the-new-clothes#post-2703623 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 20:02:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2703623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the new stuff for whoever cares.<br /> My younger two are the same size +/- a couple inches so I give the middle the new stuff because most of her clothes are already hand-me-downs.</p> <p>I figure in a few years when they're older it'll be a bigger issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gets-the-new-clothes#post-2703617 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 19:53:18 +0000 erinbaderin 2703617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. Split up the old ones and buy each girl a new pair or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gets-the-new-clothes#post-2703592 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 18:43:34 +0000 gingerbebe 2703592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much always buy for DS1 and pass down the clothes. Its easier to fill in the gaps for DS2 here and there and buy him some cute new pieces knowing his base wardrobe is handled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-gets-the-new-clothes#post-2703587 Mon, 27 Feb 2017 18:33:49 +0000 PinkElephant 2703587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a big deal at all, but curious what others would do...</p> <p>DD1 and DD2 need some new cartwheel shorts for wearing with dresses this summer. They will be 5 yrs and 3 yrs old, and can pretty much wear the same size. DD1's 3Ts from last summer still fit her, but the set DD2 wore last summer were all like 12m or something crazy, so they really don't fit her anymore. I was all geared up to buy DD1 some new ones, and pass hers down to DD2, but then it hit me that maybe I should just buy new ones for DD2 instead (she'd probably wear them a second year, so ultimately they'll get the same amount of "use" no matter who I buy for).</p> <p>The only downside to buying for DD2 is that I'd likely buy the same size as DD1's old ones...meaning that if anyone other than me does laundry, they're going to be really confused! </p>
