Crazy to spend $90 on outfit for kids?

It's your basic seersucker striped pastel shirt. IMO, nothing special to see - move along.

If you take a look at clothing stores catering to WASP tastes, I bet you would find the same "look" for much less.

Yes that's a lot. If its SO amazingly cute, buy one for the older son and the younger one can wear it when it fits him.

Kids "have" to match - especially on Shobbos. Therefore, will not be worn more than one season

I don't spend that much money for myself, never mind something that will end up stained and outgrown.

The only things I will pay good money for, is a sturdy winter coat, and cute shoes with supportive insoles, like Naot or Dansko.

Everything else, I shop end of the season bargains and no one is ever the wiser.

Janie and Jack perhaps. Even Nordstrom's.

Think of your own wardrobe. Do you spend that kind of money on a t-shirt or on a quality sweater, coat, shoes etc that can be worn for years to come.

I honestly can’t tell is this is intended to be facetious.

Kids obviously don’t have to match. I don’t even like matching. But to each their own.

It's not crazy to spend $90 on an outfit. The tops are only $70, and the kids need pants anyway.

I used to think it was crazy, but why not if you can afford it?

Oh my, that reminds me of concentration camps uniforms. Plus it’s a very feminine color palette.

Agree with the latter. Total faygella to me.

That is a mean spirited and disgusting comment. Not your taste, don’t put it on your kids.

Sheesh. And we wonder why there are kids who bully.

Complete waste of money.

I bought a suit (jacket and pants) plus a white shirt plus a tie, for my 12yr old DS, for a family wedding, for quite a bit less than that.

To spend so much money on toddlers is crazy.

I happen to love feminine colors on my boys. (I don't have girls, maybe that's why.) it brings out their gorgeous hair color and fair skin and huge eyes. My oldest won't wear pink anymore though.

Luckily I got over my initial obsession and I will not be buying it, but thank you everyone for your input!

I saw a somewhat similar shirt on Ali. Check Alipicks or Alifavorites .

It might not be the best idea to order from China right now.

It's a nice shirt, but it's not worth $90, esp since it will be outgrown and/or stained quickly.

I'm sure your son will look just as handsome and cute in a less expensive shirt.

Of course, if you have lots of cash and feel like spending it, then get whatever you want. But I assume that is not the case, or you would not have asked.

If you're not throwing yourself into debt by buying the outfit, then go right ahead

It's not a WASPy look at all. You can probably find it at frum stores and maybe online. It's pretty typical what heimish people like to dress boys which is NOT how WASPy people dress kids.
