My big girl has a closet and set of drawers. And all of baby's clothes are stored in baskets and on hooks in her tiny little nursery. It's actually a nice amount of space.<br /><br />It can get out of control. Kids clothes are often irresistible and on sale and ...they are only little once! But that said, it can completely overwhelm you especially when the move on to the next size and season and you have to make all those decisions about what to do with the "old" clothes. I think a capsule wardrobe is a great idea.

So I'm with you. A box of specials.

My 3-year-old has way too many clothes, I think. Mostly because my mom is constantly buying him clothes. :) I'm debating the idea of doing a wardrobe capsule for him or just looking for some type of guidelines. I mean- no 3-year-old needs 20 polo shirts, am I right?

So far I haven't - just kept one box of real special favorites. I have the tentative idea of keeping them for grandkids. I was beyond thrilled to put a little dress on Phoebe that I wore as a little girl in the 70s. So, so special. Saving one dress seems doable!Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.com
