I have more fun spending money on my girls so hands down they have cuter clothes. You can find lots of cute clothes on the clearance rack at Gymboree, Kohls, and Target as well as consignment/thrift stores and garage sales.
I have a plain style. I like plain shirts and jeans/shorts. I'm low maintenance.

I think it's a tie. I love shopping for the kids, and they always look cute, but I'm not lacking for any clothes either. I love following fashion trends and buying the latest styles. I'm trying to make sure I only buy pieces I really love, both for me and the kids, rather than buying too much stuff that is just okay because it's a good deal.

Oh my kids for sure! I've gotten a lot better, I used to buy them WAY TOO MUCH, but their clothes are so much cuter! It's so hard to find nice clothes that fit just right for me!

My kids definately have cute clothes but so do I. Even though I don't really buy much new I dig to find things that fit me right and are cute. I like to look nice.

I think we both do
If I buy dd and ds an outfit, I sometimes pick out a shirt for me too. Dh is hard to shop for, so if he comes with us, he'll get something too.

My kids dress waaaaaaaay better than I do. I shop clearance, yard sales, consignment, etc. for their clothes, however. I have usually about 5 decent looking shirts and 2 or 3 bottoms per season. Good enough, but I'm definitely not a fashion plate.

All 4 of my kids and even my DH dress have way cuter clothes than I do. No ifs, and's, or but's about it!!!

I hate my weight, so I don't shop for me, because it's hard to find clothes that fit me and make me look skinny... :P

What's also sad is that my 9 yo DD is getting really hard to fit too. She's outgrown both Gymbo and TCP and is in a size 14-16 already.
