Why do we buy kids new school clothes?

I haven't bought new clothes at the beginning of the school year in a couple of years because it doesn't make sense. My daughter doesn't care what other people think either, like others in her group of friends. A few weeks ago, I bought her a two new pairs of sneakers and some clothes online that she wanted. I think it's best to buy clothes when you need them or really want them, not because of marketting or brainwashing.

@zeeva70 exactly!

@morrgin I have to admit that sometimes it's hard though because my daughter wears the same thing over and over so when I take the mandatory first day of school picture, she's wearing something she's worn on the first day of school from previous years (usually the favorite hoodie).

@zeeva70 as long as they are comfortable and don't mind I dont see a problem.

That's what I tell myself. That's how I get through. Our children teach us, if we allow them to.
