Tomorrow marks the first day of school for Samantha. I was laying in bed trying to decide on what time to wake up and whether or not I am ready for school to start again, and realized that I only bought new shoes this year. No new clothes (except for phoebe since she needed uniforms) but besides that, everyone only got shoes. I'm kind of taking a chance on whether or not their clothes fit still, but my kids have worn their clothes all summer and looked fine. Why should I buy them clothes when they have perfectly good clothes? I figure if there is something they need or grow out of, then I will take care of the need at that time. Why waste money?
Still... I can't help but feel a little nervous about this decision. I'm sure it will be fine... right? Plus, I do feel just a smidge guilty about them not having a new outfit for the first day of school. Does it matter that much?
My kids didn't get new clothes for school either. It isn't a big deal. Just a tradition. But my kids didn't need new clothes, so they didn't get any. I only bought shoes for Noelle because she didn't have any that fit her. Jayden didn't even get new shoes. They will be fine. Good luck on the first day of school!!! :)
