Do have a special outfit that your child wore that you can’t bear to get rid of? For me, it is the most simple little thing, a hand me down actually. With my first little boy a friend gave me all her boy clothes. What a blessing! My little one was totally outfitted without any effort on my part. I opened up the bags (that’s right, there were many) and immediately fell in love with this little Baby Gap number.
He was born in December and what could be sweeter than a skinny little boy in candy cane stripes. It reminds me of olden time long underwear. Lucky for me, I had another little boy and had good reason to break out the candy cane jammies.
I absolutely love seeing all my favorites again. It’s like Christmas pulling the cute little outfits as he grows in to them.
I’ve learned the hard way that you need to be careful with these sweet little clothes. My kids have sensitive skin so I like to use detergents like Dreft that are free of dyes and scents that can be irritating to little skin. I am also careful to remove any stains before storing as they multiple over time! I don’t know how or why, but boy do they!
I have seen really cute ideas on how to use baby clothes once the baby years are past. I’ve seen quilts made from baby clothes, tiny items spray framed as art for the laundry room, and even cute shadow box displays.
How do you preserve your favorite little outfits?
