Gymboree Threw Up In My Closet

Anyone who knows me very well, knows that I have a SLIGHT obsession with buying Rachel clothes. Specifically, clothes from Gymboree. Yeah, sometimes I cheat on Gymboree with GAP, Old Navy or Target ... but Gymboree is my first choice for her clothing. They hold up great, wear well and are so stinking CUTE!


Anyway .....  I am leaving for an out-of-town meeting on Wednesday and will be gone for four days. (As an aside, this will be my first trip away from the child .... in four years, I have been away from her ONE NIGHT. I am a little worried ... about ME, not her.) Brian is not pleased about having to dress the child ... so he asked me to lay out stuff for her. I trust him 100% (well, maybe like 75%) to dress her appropriately, but I think he knows I am particular about her attire. lol So, I humored him (Or he humored me? Not really sure who humored who?) and laid out a couple outfits for her - down to the panties. Reminder - I am gone for four days ....

Yeah, eight outfits. Not really sure what Rachel will feel like wearing, so I left her choices!

Shorts? CHECK! (four sets, including a swing top and bikers)
Skirts? CHECK! (two sets, left out the long skirts, since I don't like her to wear those to school.)
Dresses? CHECK! (Two of them.)
Obsessive much? HA!

Well, her closet is still overflowing .... 

Two drawers stuffed with shorts:



And the left side of her closet:



But don't forget the right side either:



Yeah, those eight outfits didn't even DENT her closet. And there are still some clothes that have not been hung up (maybe 5 shirts or so) and stuff in the laundry (maybe 5-6 outfits). She only has a FEW things to wear this summer! hahaha .... Given my hatred of all things laundry-related, this allows me to NOT do laundry every week. I keep thinking I want to count her items - but don't really want to know the answer! I am sure there are people who think it is silly to have so many clothes for her, or that it is a waste of money. Eh, whatever. People think what they want, makes no difference to me! :)

But all I have to say ... if our next child is a boy ... I will be having one heck of a yard sale! Someone will hit the Gymboree Jackpot for a little girl!
