saving clothes

Nic&Susie

DH is convinced we are done with two however I am not

I need to start packing up clothes and wonder how you store / organize your LOs outgrown clothes.  

I am thinking either by size or by season.  I am only saving about a dozen of my most loved outfits in each size for each season.  I just dont have a ton of storage space for a dream baby that is 2+ years down the road.  

So all newborn in a bin and 0-3 in a bin ect 

OR

All summer in a bin and all winter in a bin?

i do by size.

ETA: couldn't type more earlier bc dd got fussy lol.

i wanted to add, i do by size bc it won't really matter if the season is right if the size is wrong ya know?     but honestly, if you're only keeping a dozen or so outfits per season/kid, i don't know why it would really matter how you stored them lol.  i'd just keep them all in a plastic bin and call it a day lol!

i stored most of DS' clothes roughly by size (as they were outgrown) in Vacuum seal bags in bins. We have to store things in the attic or crawlspace, so I wanted to be sure they were airtight. When I opened them up almost 2 years later, they were perfect. Some hand-me-downs I've gotten from other people have been musty when they stored them in cardboard boxes or unsealed bins.

I do by size, although I plan to put all the novelty holiday wear (halloween, thanksgiving, xmas, etc.) together. That way I can find it easily and see if it will fit even if it isn't the ideal sizing for baby #2.

I second the vacuum seal bags.  While not particularly cheap, they become very small and easy to store along with keeping things in great condition.
