I just cannot resist an Ebay bargain... just how cute are these! Olivia is wearing them, I'll save them for future offspring and then sell them back on Ebay amd hopefully get most of my money back. I've brought some lovely things recently on Ebay. Babies grow out of things so quickly that it isn't worth spending a lot and also it means there are lots of hardly worn bargains to be had. With all the hand me downs from my sister and a friend of my Mum I've covered the basics for free so I just buy bits and bobs of cute stuff in sales and from Ebay.
I personally am not a huge fan of babygros for day time. I love tiny versions of adult clothes like jeans, T'shirts and trainers for little kids. I do think that kids should be kids though and should not be sexualised too early. I hate to see 10 year old girls dressed like nightclubbing teenagers with inappropriate clothing. When Olivia gets to that sort of age it will be a careful balance and quite possibly a battle of wills to keep her looking like a child until she is actually a teenager. I once read an article in a magazine with a woman who dressed her toddler head to toe in Gucci and Prada, saying 'she will only wear designer clothes'. Who is the adult there? Surely until they are old enough to buy their own clothes a child will only wear what you buy them??? Although I do have a bit of a weakness for DKNY handbags I am not really a label whore. Most of my wardrobe comes from Marks and Spencers these days (I am soooooo turning into my mother). I am just as happy with Olivia wearing T'shirts from the supermarket as fancy and expensive clothes.
