Kids and their clothes

If you shop thrift stores and yard sales it is really easy to over do it on clothes. How can you pass up that shirt for $1? Easy... I decided long ago that we only needed a set amount of clothing to keep us happy and me sane.

Your list may vary, but here is mine:

Summer:
7 pairs of shorts
7 shirts (t-shirts)
7 pairs of underwear
7 pairs of socks (white to go with anything)
2 nice summer dress outfits
1 pair of sneakers
1 pair of sandals
1 pair of nice shoes to go with nice outfits
1 swimsuit
1 windbreaker jacket

Winter:
7 pairs of pants
7 long sleeve shirts
4 sweaters or sweatshirts (wearing them more than once)
7 pairs of underwear
7 pairs of socks (white to go with anything)
2 nice winter dress outfits
1 pair of sneakers
1 pair of sandals
1 pair of nice shoes to go with nice outfits
1 pair of snow boots (depending on where you live)
1 winter coat
1 snow suit (if necessary)
2 winter hats
2 pair winter gloves

I keep a copy of this list in my purse, along with a list of what each person needs and current sizes. That way when I am out it is really easy to see what I need and don't need.
