The Fall Try-On

The kids had off today so I had them try on all their fall clothes. I always put this off and am then blindsided when the temperature suddenly drops and they have nothing to wear. The state of their fall clothes is a pretty good window into how last fall/winter went: they had almost no 'real' clothes, just some lounge pants and a bunch of long-sleeve t-shirts I'd gotten at a rummage sale two (three?) years ago. None of it fit. Did these clothes even fit last year? Did it matter? No one saw the kids but us, and they really only wanted to wear pj's when they got home from school. It's a startling reminder that we really did not leave the house last fall/winter to do anything at all. 

We have to start their wardrobes from scratch this fall. They don't need a ton of clothes, since they wear uniforms to school, but they need more than what they have, which is nothing. So: online shopping we go.
