This is a daunting task. We have 6 bins of DS's clothes and I thought it would be "fun" to start going through them to find gender neutral stuff. Yeah, we don't have any! There are MAYBE 3 outfits that are yellow and can work for a girl. The rest is blue and/or say something about a boy. I dont really mind dressing my daughter in blue, all of the clothes are in great shape and so soft and perfect for her, but there is something overwhelming about having nothing girly, and not knowing what to do with 6 bins of boy clothes (no one in our family has a boy, everyone is done having kids, and I debate keeping it all or giving it away).
Phew, what a morning. I think that I need to find some good girl sales!
Re: Yikes, just started going through boy clothes for our girl...
I think if I ever have a girl (after 3 boys) that I'd still for sure use the sleepers, etc for bedtime jammies, days you aren't going anywhere, etc.
Just remember those days where you are on outfit #4 by 10 am and I don't think you'll care what color they are.
Great thinking! I have seen quilts like this before. I will keep out some favorites in hopes to learn how to quilt. Thanks for the idea!

I love these two beautiful children!
I don't know what we're having yet, but I know what you mean. All of our early stuff is gender neutral because we didn't find out sex with DS either, but after that, I'm not sure I'll be able to reuse very much. There are so few clothes out there that are really gender neutral!
I'm looking forward to giving a lot of stuff away if we have a girl, though. We've got so many boxes in our basement.
If it helps, I know Target has a clearance sale going on and I got a lot of really great stuff for super cheap....I was actually shopping for our friend and found a cute little outfit for my LO....Other than that I have been shopping the Goodwill route, and I have found the most amazing outfits there. I got 20 outfits on Sunday for $25!
I did that with DS's clothes a while ago and surprisingly, there was more than I expected. I pulled out a lot of his pants and overalls b/c they could be paired with a girly shirt and maybe a hair accessory.
The rest of his clothes, I put in a box to give away to friends or family....
