I admit it; I love dressing up my
little girl. I can’t help it! She’s just so adorable, and she
loves being fussed over. Whenever we go out, I want her to be dressed
in the nicest clothes I can get hold of; but sometimes, it can be
expensive to buy kid’s clothes.
Before I had my little girl, I actually
had no idea just how expensive baby’s clothes can be! You would have
thought that less material would mean a lot less money, but I’ve
been in shops where a baby jacket or jumper for a one year old costs
more than the shirt I’m wearing right now!
Fashion conscious
Now that Maggie is a fully-fledged
toddler, she’s starting to get more interested in looking pretty.
And my word, how quickly she grows!
I’m still being thrifty when it comes
to getting my kids dressed in good clothes, but I have to admit;
little Jacob, who’s not even a year old yet, has had to suffer some
of his sister’s hand-me-downs. I don’t think he minds really,
though Maggie seemed to be a little confused.
Ethical and cheap
Although I don’t find being thrifty
especially difficult, I want to be an eco-conscious mommy. I’ve
started to get really interested in eco-friendlyclothes. I started looking into organic cotton, but from thisarticle I got the idea that it would be way out of my price
range.
But it’s better for the planet,
better for those who make it, and usually a much better quality. So I
persevered, and stumbled on kid’sclothes designer Polarn O. Pyret; a company that make some
gorgeous, organic kid’s clothing. When I found this clearancesection, my husband had to move quickly to get his wallet out of
my reach.
I also love the fact that a lot of
their T-shirts are designed so that they can be passed down from
brothers to sisters, with the adorable designs not overly girly or
boyish. That would save little Jacob from having to don his sister’s
old pink jumper!

Some organic baby clothes may not be washable. However, Hatley and Emile et Rose are two designers that offer organic baby clothes and non-organic options that withstand many washings without fading or stretching. Because babies may spit up, they tend to go through many clothing changes at first.Parents want clothing that won’t cause their baby skin rashes and won’t have to be taken to the cleaners after every wearing. They do not to have to pay an additional cleaning bill because they bought organic baby clothes. Parents should consider the ease of wash and wear before they look at the price tag. Even cheap organic baby clothes are not worth the cost if they require additional care instructions or an additional trip to the dry cleaners.
