Not quite every year, but Saltwater Sandals I love! My big DD has gold this year! DS had some great fisherman sandals from SKR that lasted a long time last year and he could do the velcro buckles. I may purchase again for this summer.

Leggings for her obviously but mostly just from Target.

I always size up in the things that I love. There are lots of Tea and Boden outfits I love that I end up buying multiple sizes of. Also, Hunter boots, Livie and Luca Pios, Saltwaters every summer, and Mini Melissa cat shoes in every size.

Patagonia down jacket for DS1. Literally the same jacket every year, always blue. DS2 wears his hand me downs too so we haven't had to buy him one yet!

Kamik snow boots. Usually we get a different color though

Saltwater sandals. White is a must. This summer she may need a couple more colors.

White leather t strap Keds

Black ruffle butt leggings and dark washed jeggings from Old Navy

The only thing that I think I've bought multiple times are SKR sneakers. I don't always get the same color, though I have before (cute gray ones with bunny constellation patterns!). They fit her narrow feet well and I can get them in a size up when there are really good sales! Otherwise, I tend to shop sales. We've gotten her the same lands end winter coat 2 seasons, but I don't actually love it/don't think we'll continue buying it--it's a little stiff and a struggle this winter to get her to wear it.

I just remembered I do always buy LO1 ponte pants from Janie and Jack. I buy them at the end-of-season sales when I also have a coupon to stack, so I usually get them for around $8-10, and they are like nicer versions of leggings. And the legs are slim fit, which is good for my skinny oldest. I usually buy 3-5 pair of those per fall/winter season in whatever colors I find on sale. http://www.janieandjack.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374303730885&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524443482353&rrec=true

@nana87: I have to say, I was a big supporter of the Lands End coats until this year...I bought my son a light down puffer and when he wears the LE coat he complains how stiff it is and that he doesn't want to wear it..so I won't buy another at the end of this year.

@nana87: I bought it I think 2 years ago, sizing up and this is I think the third one I bought. When I compare it to the puffer, yeah, it's stiff and bulky. Plus it has a giant hood that doesn't come off and he hates it!

I get Natives for the kids over and over again (as they outgrow them) from spring through fall, each year. I also get the same blue Converse and gray SKR shoes for my son over and over again in 3 sizes now because he likes them and they go with everything. Other than that, the only thing I get again and again is basic Gap leggings for DD. I always get black, white, gray, and pink in capri and full length because she wears a lot of dresses with leggings underneath.

@gingerbebe: I love Keens and bought them two summers in a row for my DS, but I cannot get over the stink. So now we are doing Natives every summer. I got my DD her first pair of Saltwaters last year (in addition to Natives) and I think they may still work this year. If they don't, I'll definitely rebuy. I also buy Aigle rain boots every time. They hold up really well.

As for clothes, I rebuy H&M dresses for my DD. I get the ones from the buy 3 pay 2 collection so I don't care if they get ruined at daycare and she likes the various prints and colors. We also buy windbreakers from this French sporting goods store called Decathlon. They are very reasonably priced and hold up well.

@T.H.O.U.: where do you buy Saltwater sandals? I'm so excited to get some for my little ones but want to make sure I get a decent price.

Carters jeggings year round- though 2T may be the last size since they snag.

ON jellies- I bought them in every size on sale in the fall.

I also love the solid color Cat & Jack long sleeve T shirt. It's soft, does not shrink and true to size. We have 4 in 2t

We also buy Hanna Jams year round- usually just 2-3 pairs since I get hand me downs from my sister and a friend.

Oh also crocs!!!

Crocs for summer and the Old Navy natives knock offs.

patagonia down vest and fleece jacket for DS!

Converse! They're his favorite shoes.

I'm also obsessed with his lands end coat I got him last winter, he's still wearing it this winter and it was a wonderful investment. I'll get him another next year.

I will always buy the Nike summer sandals with closed toes, once they are too small I wash them thoroughly and pack them away for my younger LO. I have been buying them for her too, they are so great for summer and wash/dry perfectly.

I try to get at least 4 pairs of black leggings before autumn, but this year I got the gap cozy leggings, which feel so nice and warm. I'll be stocking up on these in years to come.

I'm not sure if these are available in the US, but Aldi here in Australia always brings out kids clothes for the new school year and seasonal wear. Every year I buy the raincoats that they sell, in current and next size up. They are about $16, but they are fleece lined, roomy, and hold up really well. Just about every kid at our kinder wears them when it rains as they still play outside in cool/wet weather. I've been stockpiling these since my first LO was small, and highly recommend them if they're available in the US.

@youboots: forgot about Hanna jams!! It's all we use- they are amazing.
