Just one of the many benefits of our girls wearing dresses or skirts….

These photos show my second daughter over the span of 2 1/2 years.  Yes, she is wearing the same dress in all of these pictures.  And it still fits!  One thing I have noticed as my sons grow (they are currently 6 and 2) when their pants start getting a little short, they won’t be wearing them much longer.  Depending upon when they have growth spurts, that can mean a pair of pants will be worn for a couple of months to a year. With my daughters, who wear only dresses or skirts, that dress that started off 3″-4″ below the knee will fit for a few years.  Jumpers, dresses and skirts are wardrobe stretchers in our girls’ closets.

Just a random thought as we spend some time this week sorting through clothes…..
