Clothes for seasons ahead?

The laundry post below got me thinking. DD has a ton of clothes because she has girl cousins that are older than her, and the aunts hand down really great clothes. I recently went through ALL of SIL's clothes for her DD (she is almost 5 and SIL has NEVER gotten rid of anything except what I took for 0-12 months). I came away with a TON of clothes.

So, now, what do I do with them. I have 18 mo-4T clothes. I was able to sort it down to size and then by season, but now what? I will stack the bags in her closet. But will I really need summer clothes that are 18 mo, 24 mo, and 2T? I am in the same boat for other seasons. Should I get rid of some now, or just wait until she gets to that size, and purge the extra then?

I stored all of ds #1's clothes in plastic storage bins and labeled by age/size. I am going to save everything and see what ds #2 needs. You never know they will go through a growth spurt!

I have a ton of beautiful hand me downs for the girls, but much of it until now has been the wrong size for the season (they're both summer babies and the stuff came from a winter baby), but I kept it since you're never sure who will be big/little for size and fit in stuff unexpectedly.  Now we're getting into the stuff that *should* fit for an entire year so we should  be set for a while.
