s/o fashion: does your kid(s) dress better than you?

Ali212 · August 2011

Reading the below post about fashion made me think of this b/c I think some days I put more thought into what my daughter(s) wear than me....

Yes. I spend more on his clothes then I do mine. I think I buy 1 new outfit a year if that. I tend to always have yoga pants or jeans. For the most part so does D but he looks cuter

To answer my own post (since I'm about to run out the door), sometimes yes.

I actually am pretty into fashion/clothes (worked in it for my whole career in NYC and it's always been something I'm personally interested in) but I find it SO much easier to find clothes for my girls -- they always look good in them (vs. me trying to find jeans to flatter my butt or a dress that fits well etc) and their clothes are cheaper to buy than mine so I do often put more thought into buying their clothes and I will say I definitely have made shopping for them a guilty pleasure and I shop much less for myself than I used to (even though my husband would probably raise his eyebrows and say I still shop too much!).

Without a doubt.

I hate shopping for myself (although I like to look nice). Fitting my figure is a big fat headache.

Like a pper said - they look good in everything

100% YES!

Yep. I spend way more money on her clothes, and I'm not happy with my post-pregnancy body, so I tend to give up on looking for my own clothes and head for the toddler section of any store I'm in. I have more fun shopping for her clothes anyway! I have bought myself a few new things in the past two years out of necessity, but I won't spend a lot of money because I keep hoping I'll lost the last few pounds and my body will miraculously get back into its pre-pregnancy shape!

Definitely! It's more fun dressing up a cute little toddler than my flabby old self.

My daughter definitely dresses better than I do. She looks cute in everything, I'm a fat frump.

OscarQ · August 2011

Kevin definitely looks better than me 90% of the time. And I put effort into my appearance, it's just easier to get a baby looking cute.

No. I spend way too much money on clothes for myself and all three of my kids.

I dress them nicely, but certainly haven't neglected myself : )

Ohhhh yeah!!!!!!!!! I constantly get comments from people about how cute my DS always is dressed. I barely hold it together these days.

naflmj · August 2011

yes although recently I've curtailed my spending on his clothes because it was getting out of control.

I try to be put-together when we leave the house. I also make sure that DD looks nice and will dress her in certain outfits based on where we're going.

She's a pretty stylish kid...I get a lot of compliments when I take her out and she's wearing her purple pleather jacket! (Courtesy of my mom who got it on sale at H&M.)

F yes!!

Sara Scissors · August 2011

Without a doubt, yes. I'm a SAHM so most days I don't even technically get dressed. I spend far more on his clothes than I ever would on mine. But I can't help it, everything looks cute on him!

Ditto! I love to shop for DD, but I still love to shop for myself- I would say we are both well dressed. The amount I money I spend on clothes for one child is just insane! LV if I had 3 kids I would need a second job!

MyShellyBelly · August 2011

Heck yes. I feel like I have no "me" time anymore (and believe me, I'm not complaining about it

and so my fashion has dropped off big time. I haven't had my hair cut since January, hardly wear make-up and I'm in yoga clothes pretty much all day long. But my LO's are usually always dressed very cute and coordinated

I do have to admit, I really enjoy when I can take a long shower and not worry about having to shower, shave my legs, wash my hair and brush my teeth all at the same time

BoilerSuz · August 2011

DS just looks cuter so I spend more. I tend to do more classic clothing for him making it easier to buy well in advance. DH is worse than I am. The man has an iPad and a paypal account. I am always shocked by what shows up for DS.

alchris · August 2011

I normally think people are a bit foolish for writing or saying 110% when 100% is the most it could be.

But yes, 110%!

They're cuter, easier to fit, and just way more fun!
