17-5-2009 - Designer Baby Clothes

My mood while writing this blog: good

So my 18 year old said it annoys her when people spend loads of money on designer clothing for newborns/infants. (A cousin of ours had her child in Uggs which they only wore for 3 weeks because they outgrew them). I took her shopping with me and she protested to anything with a name brand on the front. I had already picked up some Ralph Lauren, Kenneth Kohl and other designer duds previously, but this time she turned her nose up to anything name brand. She only seemed to like the unknown labels or Carter's brand at the most. Funny though because she loves designer clothing for herself. Well this is an issue I stay firm on. I will dress my son in designer and non-designer clothing as long as it is cute and reasonably priced. I do agree that spending $50 on a shirt or pants the baby will only wear for 2-3 weeks is wasteful (especially in this economy), which is why I shop at Marshall, TJ Max and Macy's when they are having a stupendous sale. I already feel they make the best clothing for baby girl's, but there are some great clothes for boys as well. You just usually have to spend a little more for something a little different. My family is sure to get the everyday sleepers, t-shirts, onesies, layfayettes and outfits (which I really do appreciate cause he will be wearing it all), but I usually have to buy alot of outfits myself because my taste is bit different when it comes to boys clothing than most of their's. So far here is what I've picked up for him.
