Luxury Baby Clothes - Tell me I am not alone

mommyof2TT

So I recently splurged and bought my little one luxury cashmere baby clothes from this place call Archers Bow and my sister in law is making me feel so guilty about it. I just felt like everything going on we didn't get to have a proper baby shower that I wanted to have something nice for her. The one I got her is super functional because it looks like a two piece jogger but its really just a one piece so she is very comfortable in it. Plus, it is 100% cashmere so it is very soft. And because the quality is so great I can dress it up or down, so I have used it quite a bit at this point. ...Why do I feel like I need to validate this.
Anyway, anyone else guilty of spending more on quality baby clothes for their little one?

hahahahahahahaha... who cares if you're alone as long as you're happy.

But you ARE NOT alone !!!! I had a couple of friends who bought their babies' AMAZING clothes. And my daughter benefited. LOL She's 18 now. But she had the MOST amazing cashmere sweaters and jumpers because of said friends. And when my kids were done...we passed them on. I saved a few for any grandkids. Most of the cashmere sweaters and wool coats are on their 5th or 6th baby.

And being Portuguese, it was a tradition to get the absolute top notch for Easter and Christmas outfits. So my mother always went nuts in the Portuguese boutiques for my kids. My son has the MOST amazing hand made wool coats and matching hats.

The pieces are also easily put on consignment ! ENJOY ! And remember a 529 plan too. ; )

This, along with the link, seems suspiciously like advertising, but taking it at face value, I would assume your sister wouldn't be able to criticize you regarding this choice had you not told her the fabric content and/or cost. IMO, luxury items are for the purchaser/user, not to impress others. There's never a need to tell how much something cost or what brand it is unless someone specifically is seeking something like it. Next time there is a purchase you think others might be judgmental about, simply don't tell them where you purchased it or what you paid. A simple, "Oh, this? Isn't it wonderful? I got a great deal!" And that, apparently, would be true if you use it often.

Right or wrong, people (including ourselves, if we are honest) judge others all the time. The best way to avoid judgment regarding cost/brand it is to not give them the information they are seeking in order to make that judgment.
