My mom loves Oshkosh and she makes frequent trips to the outlet store to buy stuff for LO...she likes overalls and their long sleeve onesies and shirts.
My MIL likes to buy I love Daddy stuff and floral prints.
LO wears all of it!

My mom and ILs don't buy her clothes, but my stepmom LOVES to buy her fancy stuff! It cracks me up because she buys from the pricey stores like Janie & Jack, and buys her *white* dresses and rompers. So unpractical lol!

my MIL does pretty good, sometimes it's a little too girlie for me, but luckily for me she understands i'm against characters/licensed stuff! ha

Mum buys adorable stuff, a little on the girly side but very pretty, English country style prints. I can't wait for LO to grow into the butterfly print overalls she bought.
MIL is all about bling and we have some bedazzzled t-shirts that get sent to daycare as spares. Not my style at all, but at least I found a use for them!

No one really buys her clothes. I think they know I am picky. My Mom will buy holiday onesies and sleepers though.

My parents get DS a lot of Gymbo, Carters, Ralph Lauren, and Children's Place stuff. Mostly mini versions of stuff DH would wear. They have really good taste ILs have never gotten him anything.

My MIL has bought her under armor! I love it! My mom has gotten her a couple fuzzy Carter's sleepers from Walmart. But nobody's really bought her clothes

My mom likes to shop at BabyGap, Macy's and Babies r Us. There was a sale on Hello Kitty outfits and she's been going nuts with that. Her main thing is buying clothes that are too big, which is fine, but then she complains when DD can't wear them yet!

@SugarplumsMom: This! "Thanks for this 4T jacket for my 13 month-old."

My mom is constantly bombarding me with Gymboree gear, and picks out things I would choose myself. She's cute and always tries to include a coodinating bow for each outfit. My in-laws never buy her anything.

@shinymama: haha! I've had to let LO try things on so she can see exactly how big it is. She got it for a little while, but now she's back to her old tricks.

My mom mostly hits up Carter's, Gymboree and Crazy 8. She also makes smocked dresses and such. She's got mad sewing skills.
She has mostly good taste though, so C wears it.

MIL will buy Carters but I usually don't like what she buys. And my mom...oh lord. She is the worst. She'll spend HUNDREDS of dollars on fancy baby dresses that just aren't my taste, despite me asking numerous times not to. I'd rather have that money for something else!

Neither grandparents buy her clothes. MIL has bought her bibs from Carters.

My mom (mostly my dad actually) buy Janie & Jack and Jacadi. Love it!
MIL doesn't buy her anything because "your parents buy her so much she doesn't need anything else."

Mom - none. Mother in law - anything on sale! She buys Old Navy, Carters, Children's Place, Gap, and Jumping Beans mostly. Her taste is rather different from my own, but usually I can make most of her purchases work by mixing and matching.

My mom and sister LOVE babygap, it's usually cute stuff. My MIL shops the discount stores (Ross, marshalls etc) and usually buys carters like outfits but sticks with cute animals and trains and stuff and nothing with words, so he wears that too. My SIL on the other hand likes cheap clothes, stiff uncomfortable collared shirts and khakis and sports prints which are not for me. 3/4 isn't bad....

My IL's don't buy her much clothing at all, I have gotten some interesting garage sale finds
My Mom buys whatever I pick out!

My mom likes to buy Gymboree. My DD has way too many floral prairie skirts but I can't tell her to stop.. she gets too much happiness out of it. My in laws are all about Janie and Jack but since they aren't local it doesn't happen often.

My mom sends Carter's stuff (usually in a year ahead or so size), and my MIL likes Oshkosh and Baby Gap. She also likes hitting up a great children's consignment shop near her house with me...almost every time we go down there she'll ask if I want to go.

My mom has bought some fancy Baby Benetton for my LO... I wish she wouldn't buy such expensive stuff even if its on sale.

I have given my dad strict instructions never to buy clothes for my LOs, that would just be a disaster.
My MIL is hit or miss. She must have an idea as to what I like since we lived with her for 9 months last year, but occasionally she gifts us things and I'm just like, erm...thanks...I'll put that in the spare change bag at daycare. However, she does knit awesome wee baby clothes, and I usually get a say in style/color.

My parents buy nice things for my nephew and all of us so I'm sure that will continue. If my inlaws buy clothes, hopefully they buy strictly nfl team related stuff. That way no style choices have to be involved.

my mama and ILs don't buy clothes for LO. my dad has really good taste in baby clothes. or, should I say his sister (who owns a super cute baby clothing store in Australia) does

My mom loves Kohl's...all our gifts come from there.
My MIL goes to Goodwill for baby clothes and stuff for DS. For S, she also went to department stores and got a lot of dresses.

No one buys clothes, I get everything, on sale, lol.
My mom used to go to Janie and jack, but they've closed the store near us.

My mom buys everything at babyGap. I think my MIL is scared to buy clothes for LO because she thinks I'm particular about what LO wears so she buys lots of basics at Carter's and throws in a random outfit or 2 from Nordstrom.

My mom and her sisters buy Carter's, JCPenny and Belk's line. My dad's sister buys her big name brands.lol
