Finding Appropriate High Quality Baby Clothes for Your Little One

When it comes to buying baby clothes, I must confess that I am addicted. When our first child was born, my husband and I were barely making ends meet. He was a lowly supervisor at a ho-hum job, and I was working in fast food. Between the two of us and some family help now and again we managed to scrape together enough to keep a roof over our heads, a car paid for, utilities barely on time, food in the fridge, and clothes, personal products and cleaning products in the home.

Needless to say, a lot of the baby clothes that were purchased for our daughter came from consignment shops. I am not ashamed to admit this, though I feel bad that our circumstances had drastically improved in time for the birth of our second child, and he has never worn a single stitch of secondhand clothing.

As I write this my daughter and son are working their way out of baby clothes. My daughter, who is four, is on the petite side, and so she can wear many pants that are 4T and even 3T. Most of her 5T pants require the cuffs to be rolled up and a belt to be threaded through the loops. My son is two years younger than her, yet is wearing 5T now, and will be putting the baby clothes behind him by spring.

I admit, I love to shop for baby clothes. Since money isn't much of an issue in terms of buying baby clothes from Target, Baby Gap and Carter's, I often buy a lot of cute things for both my son and daughter. My daughter, being female and loving all things pink, purple, floral and sparkly, has a lot of items in those mentioned categories.

Buying childrens clothes for a boy can be more difficult, simply because it's hard to find baby and toddler boy clothing that isn't dark and dreary, bright and obnoxious, or simply related to garish cartoon characters and obnoxious sports-related things. In order to find high quality boy baby clothes that are appropriate for babies and young toddlers, I've found that you really have to focus on finding higher quality brands and merchandise.

In order to find baby clothing that is high quality and aren't obnoxious, dark, too bright, related to sports or plastered on all sides with cartoon characters, I often take my search online. There, I'll find online baby clothing shops like sandboxcouture.com, and all of the adorable baby clothes and toddler clothes I could ever wish for.
