Dressing My Kids II

A couple years ago I wrote about my clothing philosophy and how I plan and shop for my kids' clothing.  It's a hobby for me.  See the original post if you are curious.  People often ask me where I shop for my kids clothes.  With that in mind, I recently started a pinterest board where I pin some of the clothes I have bought or plan to buy for my kids.

In the last 2 years I have used my clothing checklists a lot and modified them.  Mostly, I removed things.  I've learned that I need even less than I thought I did for each child.  Some weeks I even -GASP- put my kids in the same outfit twice.  High quality clothing washes and wears really well so this isn't a problem and means I need fewer outfits for each child.  Isabel's clothes from years past are holding up really well so I buy very little for Chloe.

Here are my updated Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter checklists:
