Unless you happen to be a fashion designer, dressing your child is the closest you'll ever come to running a catwalk show. You're their personal stylist, and you get to choose their outfits every day. A lot of parents take pride in that, and make sure their child looks more 'on point' when it comes to fashion than any other baby in town. That's fun for a minute, but it quickly becomes very expensive.
Babies grow, and they grow fast. The designer outfit you bought for them in January will be completely useless by June at the latest. Before long, you'll find yourself revising your clothes-buying strategy. Gone are the snug-fitting fashionable clothes you started them off with; now you're buying big, roomy clothes that they'll grow into eventually. It may not be fashionable, but it's a lot cheaper and much more practical!
