Living on less....fall clothing


In an effort to organize a list of clothing "needs" for this coming Spring, I am going to look back and see what the children really wore during the fall/winter of this year.


Wyatt - 1 yr-old boy
Footed Fleece rompers - he wore these to sleep in, play in, and even run errands in.
2 Favorite Mini Boden outfits - these 2 outfits outshown the rest and he wore these all the time
1 Gymboree monkey outfit
2 holiday sweaters - 1 for fall and 1 for Christmas (nutcracker sweater from Janie & Jack)
Gap jeans - 3 pairs
socks
chore boots for outside
leather boots for church/casual wear


William
fleece pj's with socks
Homemade fleece longies w/ long sleeve tees
sweater/coat/fleece zipup for outside play
chore boots
ankle boots for church/casual
2 holiday sweaters (same as above)
Gap jeans
Boden flannel pants w/matching tee (x2 sets)
2 pairs of rib waist cargos from Boden that I LOVED w/ random tee's
tennis shoes
socks from children's place


Hannah
Knit dresses with knit pants/tights underneath
Knit pants with matching tee's
Holiday dresses Thanksgiving & Christmas & New Years
2/3 church dresses
matching pj sets (warm)
chore boots
land's end mary janes/pedi peds for dressy & casual/boots
Hannah had a lot of mini boden but it ended up being too wide for her and she hardly wore any of it. I am hoping it will still fit for next year.


Abigail - (my biggest challenge to buy for)
knit dresses w/tights/knit pants
matching pjs
pencil skirts
sweaters - zip up
tee's for layering
boots
ballet flats
chore boots
lots of accessories, scarfs...ect


Now looking at what we DID wear will make buying for future seasons easier. My goal is to NOT BUY those things that only get worn once or do not get worn at all! So the first step is pinpointing what we DID wear.

I challenge each of you to do this so your clothes budget goes farther. Buy less, wear it more often!
