if your LO wears a uniform for school

My kids go to 5 day a week pre-k which requires uniforms. I have a boy & a girl and have to figure out how many to order--- they can both wear the same shirts (same style & size) but she can wear jumpers/dresses etc too with whatever shirt we want under them. They both can wear whatever bottoms from other stores (leggings,khakis etc) so I'm not worried about the bottoms.

Right now I have 3 jumpers/dresses for her
Between them I have 4 short sleeved shirts, and I think 5-6 long sleeved and I also got him a sweatshirt.

I feel like I need to play it out to figure out what else I need & will probably have to do extra wash in hte beginning if the numbers don't work out right. I know in winter he will probably be wearing the long sleeved ones every day and so if I don't want to do wash mid-week I will probably have to get a couple more of those...

Any advice if you've done this? I think I am struggling since I'm buying for 2 simultaneously and they're different genders but some of the clothes can cross over b/w the two of them...

    My DS wore a uniform shirt for preschool. I had one shirt when we started (T/Th) and I would do laundry on Wednesday. The next year, I had three shirts.

    I think you have plenty.

    We have 2 red shirts (wears M-W) and 1 white (Thursday) and 1 spirit shirt (Friday) and 3 shorts.  So I wash on Tuesday and we make it through the week.  He has one extra outfit in his bag, but I got used for that. 

    Since you can do any shorts/jumpers, then I would get get enough tops to only have to do a wash once a week.

    DD wears uniforms 5 days a week. I started out with 5 shirts, but bought more for those freak weekends when we are out and about and the laundry just doesn't get done. I have 3 long sleeved shirts for winter, as she can wear whatever long sleeved t she wants under the short-sleeved ones.

    I think you need at least 7 short sleeve- her 3 jumper days plus the 2 days she wears something else and his week of uniforms. The same applies for cold weather. My son wears a uniform and I have 6 short sleeved, 5 long and 3 sweaters and a fleece. He is still the same size as last year so I did not buy any yet. I think having enough for a week and a day gives me a peace of mind as a working mom.
    I also iron/prepare his clothes for the week and put them out on Sunday night. That way I always know that I have a uniform ready.

    Thanks!!!! She can wear any shirts or leggings under the jumpers (any color, etc) so I'm not counting those days for shirts, she would only wear the uniform shirt w/ a skirt or pants...I am hoping to at least get through the first couple weeks and figure it out lol. the short sleeved/long sleeved thing is getting me though lol
