Kid's Fashion Center
Do your kids have a lot clothes, but not a lot that really goes together? Today's challenge is to have a strategy on your next shopping trip! A game plan when you shop will help you make the most of your kids' wardrobes.
- Buy clothes that can be mixed and matched to create new multiple outfits.
- When you're shopping try to focus on buying what's missing from their wardrobe.
Do you usually go shopping for your kids in big trips a few times a year or smaller trips as things are needed? Do buy things one piece at a time or do you buy complete outfits?

I do smaller trips. I sometimes buy full outfits but usually it's just price by peice. I do a lot of clearance shopping. (mostly at target!) and then when she really needs other stuff I just get it in one swoop. :) -
We buy smaller stuff and mix and match. We only buy from the clearance rack or from thrift stores. A good set of leggings goes a long way. The only thing we ever buy new are shoes, good winter coats, and bathing suits. Even then, we try to use coupons and sales

I think it all just depends on what she needs and when. We normally do a big-ish shopping trip when dd goes up in size. Then I go and get different items every so often after that. I usually try to only get what she needs, although sometimes I get a full outfit if there is one on the model that just is to cute to pass up!! -
My granddaughter has so many cloths, four closets full. I usually buy every month, her allowance is $300 a month and to maximize so she never has to wear the same thing twice, I but online from gymboplace, especially after a great sale, another mom finds the deal and then charges just a buck or two to above to sell to you and then shipping. I also shop RBS and other sales to get great buys. I buy complete lines so it is all mix and match, although there are some things in a line I never buy like yoga pants, but I buy all the skirts, shirts and sweaters in a line, hair clips, hats, coats and shoes. Then she is ready to go.

All of the above. For back to school and summer clothes i buy several items all at once. Then i will buy individual items as needed to go with something or to make something transition into the next season. Long sleeved t-shirts can be worn under t-shirts to go into fall/winter and leggings worn under a summer dress etc. I will also picj up individual items i happen to come across and like while shopping for something else.

a piece at a time,as needed,that usually turn into big trips

I try to buy complete outfits and then hang them in their closet. I buy as I need and we get a lot of hand me downs. Every little bit helps.

At stores its smaller trips throughout the year for essential pieces on sale. -
We do a couple of big trips and then fill in as things are needed. We take a list of clothes and that way we can buy what's needed.

I usually buy things as needed in smaller trips, also usually combined with grocery store or other shopping trips. I am more of an impulse shopper so I get one piece at a time, unless the outfit is already "put together".
