How many spring/summer outfits do you have for your 18 mo dd and/or 5 yo dd? I am trying to decide if I should use my gym bucks. They each have prob 10-12 outfits it has still been too chilly to wear here. Once it gets warm, it will be warm through September here. Thanks!
I think it really depends on your laundry cycle. We generally do laundry every 7 days but sometimes it slips to 10 or more. I like to have about 15 "every day" outfits per kid and then maybe 2-3 other things that are more dressy nice for parties. Both my kids have 3 suits as well for summer. They wear them to daycare on hot days and to the park on weekends for the sprinklers there.
I have about the same amount of 18 month outfits and need it to get warm before she outgrows them. I have started to purchase 24 month/2T things she can wear late summer/early fall with any discounts I have.
10-12 outfits is normally what I buy per season, so I'd say that is enough. I am with hocus2 on the swimsuits, though - DS has 3 swimsuits, because he often needs a new one before I get laundry done. If you don't have any yet, that could be a good use for gym bucks.
