Does anyone else by their children designer clothes apart from me?

[loulabelle222]

Hi my ds is 13m and i find it so hard buying nice things for him. Of course he has got a few bits from mothercare,next,marks and spencers and asda but occasionally i would like him to wear something different. These places never seem to offer anything different, they offer babies acting as old men in shirts and ripped jeans.
There are a few children shops near me and i just can't resist it. For ds first birthday he wore an adorable miniman outfit that was expensive but he looked beautiful.
What do you all think about designer baby clothes?

Enid, this is my last post here, honest! I'm NOT offended, really not. Lots of people think my taste in clothes is a load of old 'toot' (my new favourite expression ) but it really doesn't bother me. I know I have a Fauntleroy tendency! I'm not upset at all, really.

I did indead.
It was a stormy night, dark and blustery.
I logged on as usual not thinking of what horrors i would stir up that fatefull night....
The thread was entitled "the pope on his death bed" or something along those lines.
First i called him an old geezer, well, you can imagine the horror and recoil at that.
Then on it went until eventually i was applying for the post of pope because of the company car (popemobile) and free uniform and job description which included waving at people every Sunday.......
Suddenly there was silence, it was deafening and no one would talk to me again,
So that was that, the pope thread dead.....
(curtsies graciously)

PMSL at Donbean!

SO die thread die.........

Donbean - you've convinced me. You clearly have all the requisite credentials for thread killing - now go to it girl!

Aren't all clothes designed by someone?

Therefore aren't all clothes designer?

Therefore don't we all dress our children in designer clothes?

although actually dd1 has a friend (German) and he wears very 'third reich' style cuffed knickerbockers, tanktops and floppy hair and I always think he looks rather fabulous. But German, so allowed

Enid, this presumably is not the little guy who calls his dad "papa"...

Step aside you two please, Donbean is trying to thread kill

Listen to me people, this thread has now had the Donbean curse......you are not supposed to carry on chatting willy nilly, you are supposed to stop taking, ignore me and act as if ive not said any thing....like you all usually do. ITS THE LAW on MN.

No flum, my ds's clothes are made by starving Romanian robots.

Oh, god just have to post this, I do try to rein in my dressing up tendencies because I have a vivid memory of a new boy arriving at my primary school mid-year, way, way back in the (very) early seventies. He wore LEDERHOSEN (yup, those German leather shorts with a bib) and a frilly purple shirt. He was absolutely destroyed.
Mind you, I don't think they were designer lederhosen...

I was once sent to Sunday School in a bri-nylon bouffant yellow blouse and home-made hotpants Aloha, my heart bleeds for that boy.
Wasn't Jarvis Cocker sent to school in lederhosen?

I remember when knickerbockers/pedalpushers were the in thing. I LOVED them. Really liked lord Fauntelroy style back then. I was a right tomboy me. think I could get away with dressing dd like that????

Maybe not Dp would prob die laughing.

Seeing as he scampers around in full Norseman regalia I think he has nothing to laugh at Tarantule

How old is Jarvis??? It could have been HIM! I might be responsible for some of his pain and outsiderishness. In which case I want some of the royalties .

Aah bri-nylon. I can remember the lightening strikes of static electricity to this day. I had some yellow wet-look boots, but they were cool. Honest.

SIGH

Were you in Sheffield aloha? At least I was parading around in happening early seventies ("the decade that taste forgot") London.

He is, cough, roughly our age.

I dress my ds in LEDERHOSEN all the time! Whats wrong with that?? It's my choice! I have the money to do it.

Not him then. This was Hertfordshire. Were lederhosen really common then or something? Nazi chic?

ROFL lockets, the agony of the poor little chap!
