How much hotter can it get this summer?

As the summer heats up so is children's fashion. People are increasingly conscientious about spending more on upscale items, they expect more embellishments. Patches, appliqués, netting under skirts, multi-layers, and leggings are all stylish ways to turn your child into a trend setter. Many agree that bright colors are the thing to have this summer. There is a growing trend towards embellishments and high retro style. “Grosgrain ribbon trim for girls is everywhere from headbands to flip flops. The boys are sporting longer shorts and vintage looking t-shirts that have the worn and faded look.”
If having a completely upscale wardrobe just isn’t in the budget these days, up your kid’s style with accessories. Milk Money offers less expensive accessories such as hair bows, headbands, and flip flops that can increase the fashion quotient of any outfit.
In this economy, it may be just as tempting to hit the spring consignment sales around town but I caution against it. Less expensive, and typically lower quality clothing, often wears out more quickly and does not wash as well.
If you are selective and spend a little more on items you absolutely love and are higher quality, you know you will get lots of use out of them and end up getting your money’s worth. If not, you could end up with a closet full of clothes that cost you the same amount or more and you wind up throwing them away at summer's end.
My clients choose to buy all new, high quality items because, they can re-sell them on Ebay and get most of their money back.
