Of course, I am talking about buying little girl clothes. How can you resist the cuteness of little flowery dresses and glittery shoes? I can't do it!. After years of buying ho-hum t-shirts and jeans for little boys that would just assume hang out in their skivvies all day anyway , I feel like there is no way I will be able to control myself when it comes to baby girl's wardrobe.
I resisted the urge for a long time. I didn't even buy her anything until a month after the referral. And even then, just looking at itty bitty girl clothes gave me crippling anxiety. But then I found a $3 dress at (where else?) Target. And I thought It's only $3, so no big loss if it doesn't fit. And then it began. And now she has a dozen outfits or more (some were gifts, thanks Mom!) I fear I won't be able to stop myself. I cannot go into a store without looking at clothes for her. And don't get me started on accessories! Headbands, tights, SHOES. SHOES, people! Have you seen how cute the tiny sparkly shoes are? I am going to need a support group or an accountability partner or something.
PS. On the upside, though, I am very thrifty. And so far the most I've spent on one single item is $6. It pains me to have to buy clothes that are not at least 75% off. But still, I gotta learn to fight the power of the lace eyelet sundress and the pink satiny shoes.

It's tough! Both girls have 3 pair of the sparkly shoes--I mean they gotta have the red, gold, and silver, right? I just can't let myself go into stores like Target or Old Navy very often--because even though you can get stuff super cheap, buying something every time I go adds up! P.S. Those sparkly shoes our currently on clearance for $6 at Target!
I hope she's going to like being a girly girl! Can't wait for her to be here!
I feel you! In my case, it helps to simply not have the money to spend. :) I am impressed at your thriftiness, though, and I may have to pick up a pair of those sparkly shoes! Can't wait to see your little gal!
Oh, you just wait! You have NO idea!! :)
