Day 240 - Phoebe Clothes



We were in Maui for 10 days earlier this summer and had only 5 outfits each.  I was impressed without how few clothing items we really needed to get by.  As soon as we got home I had a look in the kids' drawers. 

Phoebe, DD#4, had 32 shirts.  Yep, thirty-two not including undershirt onesies

Do we need this many shirts?  Absolutely not.  I do laundry more often than once a month.

Do we need this many short-sleeve shirts (27 of 32 are short-sleeved)? Absolutely not.  Washington summers require short-sleeves for about 8 weeks in a good year.

And that's just the shirts!  So we're getting rid of some clothes.

1 to 7. Pants that still fit, but we don't need
8 to 10. Dresses that still fit, but we don't need
11. Shorts that fit, but we don't need
12 to 17. Socks that are outgrown
18 to 26. Shirts that still fit, but we don't need

I could at get rid of more, but at least all her little clothes will fit in the dresser now.
