I have always lived OOT or in E"Y. I love fashion and I love dressing my kids! That being said, I don't buy stuff just because it's a Jewish brand or style. Some of that stuff is just plain ugly and I don't think it's worth the $$$. I get my kids "nicer" stuff from Jewish stores for Shabbos and YT and for weekday I do h and m, target, zara, tottini and other random places with cute things. My youngest is 2.5 and honestly I have found some cute t shirts with words on them that aren't over the top and don't have silly slogans. My kids always look adorable, I always get compliments but they aren't carbon copies. Every time I go to Lakewood and we split up my husbands mistakes 3 other ladies for me because we all have the same brown sheitel with blonde highlights and black puffy coat. Why do we do this?? lol
I let my kids have some color and uniqueness in their lives...they still look great, but I think it's nice for them to not wear exactly what their friends are. Plus, some of my kids have opinions! I can't control everything they wear even if I wanted to. IMO the worst is when I see kids in clothes that are too big and clearly from 10 years ago. In today's world you can get a new $4 t shirt at target and $7 leggings or gasp...a $15 outfit at Carter's. At least let your kids look well groomed and cared for. I know it's an unpopular opinion but it does bug me!

Grow up.
Go clean your house.
I can't believe you all are so bored that you have nothing better to do than delay the Geula. |
Isn't that hurtful to the person who asked the question?

I don't think she meant dumb as dumb. She meant innocent question.

And this is why, among other reasons, I say Hodu LaShem that my kids got out of Lakewood.

This thread is a great advertisement for Carter's. (I bet Carter's started it  ) I just placed a large order. I used to shop at Carter's but forgot about them for a while. But this thread reminded me, and I just purchased some gorgeous clothing for my children for Y"T BH!

Anyone who treats you like an outcast because of your kid’s clothes is not someone you should respect, care about their opinion, or want in your life.

You really got lucky because this thread is totally real. Good you went to a perfect community where you can speak ill about other jews. Why everyone is proud to announce they live oot and then proudly speak lashon hara and motzei shem ra is a puzzle. Is this an aveira you are all proud you do? Is this encouraged oot or something? Because I can't understand why it seems so prevalent there.

Lol, and I bought my boys adorable chunky cardigans from shein for last winter with tight turtlenecks under and adorable black target jeans and someone who's into styles and brands commented "Your kids are always dressed for the catwalk"
