Rex went to church in rolled-up sleeves (the shirt sleeves were "bracelet" sleeves on him) and his pants were cuffed to clamdigger length. I thought he looked adorable...Mr. Dina thought he looked like a waif. :)<br /><br />I know E will love seeing CW in this outfit...I wish I could see her reaction!dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-67882578186879420552009-06-15T14:01:22.301-04:002009-06-15T14:01:22.301-04:00Go E, my little enabler!!

Love love love the dress on CW - I'll have to show E when she gets home from school. so adorable!! <br /><br />Boys clothes are harder to get multiple seasons out of, I think. With E, skirts and dresses become short skirts and tunics that she wears with leggings or bike shorts. Pants become capris. With M, I just hope to get a season and a half out of his shirts.HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-91450136279933471702009-06-12T12:30:34.433-04:002009-06-12T12:30:34.433-04:00Anon at 2:43: Thanks so much for such awesome advi...Anon at 2:43: Thanks so much for such awesome advice...my son is fairly thin through the waist so I bet your advice would work for him...as for CW, who knows what she will be shaped like!!! :)<br /><br />Slastena: Oh, I have found SOME precious stuff for Rex, but you are right, the girl stuff is so CUTE! I have even managed to sneak a couple of things for her that have the same print as something I own. :) I have a feeling if you have a girl it will be the same in your household! BTW, I have some fantastic maternity tops in a size small that you could borrow if you wanted...even some from pea in the pod!<br /><br />Kat: Thank you...CW will get a big hug from you...from me. :)<br /><br />I agree that she looks like a campbell's soup kid...all cheeks!!!<br /><br />Summerilla: CW got so much stuff that night...lil E. was such an enabler. lol. :) Call anytime...kids are AWESOME!<br /><br />Ann: Fantastic advice...I will totally use all of your ideas!<br /><br />Joyce: Sometimes I wonder if my kids are going on a yacht they look so preppy...so I get the golf cart thing... :) SMILE!<br /><br />I remember when I turned 14, all of a sudden Hechts and KMart, etc. were not cool enough for me to shop at...instead it had to be Macy's, Nordstrom's, the Gap, or J. Crew. You can bet I am going to keep these kids in Target stuff (where the majority of their clothes come from) for as long as I can...dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-38461202079325320462009-06-11T18:26:10.329-04:002009-06-11T18:26:10.329-04:00My son has discovered Crewcuts and is running arou...My son has discovered Crewcuts and is running around in a pair of madras shorts and a polo. All that's missing is a golf cart. Free shipping was nice, maybe we can start a Crewcuts swap, except I have very little to swap. Luckily, I can still purchase his clothes at Target.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338523049103552635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-68146180607487924322009-06-11T17:24:09.118-04:002009-06-11T17:24:09.118-04:00With 3 girls, I am also becoming an expert at wear...With 3 girls, I am also becoming an expert at wearing the clothes different ways to make them last (and reduce that "cost per wear"). In addition to taking a larger-size top and using it as a dress for a smaller girl, as you did...I like to do the reverse: When a short-sleeved or sleeveless dress gets too short, I use it as a top over capri pants or shorts. This doesn't work with every style, but with many Crewcuts ones, it does. I just have to make sure the sleeves or armholes aren't too tight.<br /><br />In addition to the first Anon comment about pants: My oldest is very slim also. I, too, cut off pants--or just roll them up for a cute summer look.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766009593401895230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-46612922402572704862009-06-11T16:15:45.422-04:002009-06-11T16:15:45.422-04:00She is so flipping cute in that "dress"....She is so flipping cute in that "dress". I didn't see it on her when you bought it that Saturday so I'm glad you posted it. What a great idea of turning an older girls shirt into a dress for mini's.

Aside from the price, that is. I think you've got some good ideas. It pays to be very resourceful when you're a mom! And that little CW looks just like a baby doll. So precious!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563944872453784334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-90398193647230683112009-06-11T15:53:28.192-04:002009-06-11T15:53:28.192-04:00Fantastic recommendations!

Also, I feel that the boy's clothes lack that 'oompa' factor girls' clothes have. I am sure if I had a little girl, I'd be totally "j-crew"ed, sale or no sale, lol!Slastenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977562748740305040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-25010230989816191282009-06-11T14:43:07.558-04:002009-06-11T14:43:07.558-04:00My daughter is very thin.

When the lenght is outgrown I cut them off and make capris or shorts out of them. If we need to as she grows we just let the adjustable waist out a bit. Works on jeans and chinos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
