Is this KUWTJ?

August 19th, 2011 at 10:37 pm

Is this keeping up with the Joneses syndrome?

Now that I have a daycare start date set, I went on a mini-shopping spree, buying a bunch of outfits from Cushies and Nany Pickle.
I wanted my baby to be dressed nice and comfy and in daycare and look his cutest in neat new clothing.

At home, as long as it is clean, I don't care if it is mismatched or has a light stain that did not come off in the wash.(but I do like to get him something nice and comfy) But this was almost like "beginning of school year" shopping, even though he will only be 10.5 months!

But I keep picturing him sitting on a daycare floor all lonesome... I want him to be cute and get attention Smile I know, nothing rational about this argument. But it was a strong and sudden shopping impulse. And does he need more outfits? Pbobably, he has grown out of most of his.

Plus, it is hard to be frugal when it come to baby.

Here is online pictures of some of my bounty:
















This one I got in a bigger size, for when he can walk.

My little boy is going out into the world!

    i think it's cute Smile (the outfits, and the fact that you did a little mini shopping spree). I guess some people could think of it as a jones mentality - but then again, most people do care about what they look like when they leave the house, as opposed to when they're in their own home. I know I usually wear tracky pants and old shirts in winter because its comfy and warm - but wouldn't be caught dead outside my home wearing them!

    I'm the same as whitestripe....i wear MANY awful things at home where no one will see me but wouldn't be caught dead with it outdoors. And wouldn't you know, when i walk out the mailbox or do some yardwork in my grunge clothes, THAT's exactly when a neighbor strikes up a conversation.
