[...] is why I don’t spend big bucks on barrettes. I’m a confessed Gymboree addict, but you’ll never catch me purchasing the matching hair accessories. Just like the matching [...]

Yes! Riverside Square. I even buy little boys’ clothes at Gymboree sometimes now (very occasionally, when I get the chance to wrest control of my children’s wardrobe away from the grandmothers) because they don’t have as much with the lame baseball themes you get everywhere else.

AND I just gave away a pair of unused (NWT!) Tulip pants (18mo) that somehow didn’t fit Jo in the right season. sob.

I love Gymboree but apparently they are out to get me. It seems that for my children they are the ultimate in stain magnet and I just can’t get stuff out of them! When it comes to stain removal I seem to do way better at Target. We have more ruined Gymboree shirts than I care to admit. The leggings are a definite life saver for me with my tall thin 3 y.o. and the dresses with my older daughter who would wear them everyday if I let her.

I’m the same way about Baby Gap. It’s so much more expensive than Sper Target but it’s so damned cute and holds up so much better.

I only shop online there, and only when stuff is on sale. I used to buy their things at full price for all 4 of my kids, but although my husband makes a lot of money, their stuff is still too expensive to buy entire wardrobes for each of my kids at full price. Unless I decide to stop eating or feeding them, then I suppose we could swing it.

I’ve never checked ebay for the clothes and we live 90 minutes from the closest store, I am able to keep my addiction in check….

Have more kids. It cures the addiction – quickly.

i have had great luck buying kids clothes on ebay. we also have a factory outlet for The Childrens Place here. Between my shopping and hand-me-downs, the kid is better dressed than most adults.

Oh, I’m a Gymbo addict also. Cordy has a ton of it, and I’ve always been proud that most of it I have bought through various sales, discounts, eBay, GymboRebel message board, etc. I’ve already sold a lot of Gymboree clothing on eBay, but I saved my favorite pieces in case of another girl, which proved to be a wise decision.

Cordy doesn’t fit into non-stretch pants well, so I’m happy that every single line Gymboree offers has stretch leggings or bike shorts as part of the line. And you’re right – they do hold up amazingly well.

I thought my addiction was under control, until they opened a Gymboree outlet near my mom. The outlets have fabulous clothes at half the price – nothing in the store is more than $19.99, and they’re all new lines that aren’t in the regular stores.

I don’t think we have a Gymboree in my area. Then again, I’ll know for sure after I have my own bebeh. I’m pretty clueless about the kid-resources right now.
