I love a good deal. I mean, who doesn’t?  And one thing I totally don’t mind buying used, is clothes.  I used to care, though.  Actually, I wouldn’t even put second hand clothing on my first baby. Seriously. It was new clothes, or she wasn’t going to wear it. Period. Maybe I would have felt differently if I knew how much money and time I could save by shopping for used clothes online! Â
Hindsight is 20/20.  In the long-run, it really doesn’t matter if kids (or adults) wear used clothes.  But, I was a brand new mom, with no clue of how expensive it is to have a kid. Not to mention, how complicated shopping in stores would become.Â
Now, I consider myself a used clothing guru. No, I’m not going to put my kids in stained clothes, but I sure am not going to shy away from buying clothes that are in excellent condition and at least half of the retail price. Kids grow fast and it seems impossible to keep up (financially and physically) with their clothing needs. Don’t even get me started on season changes! Â
Since I’ve become a mom (especially after baby #2 started walking), I most definitely prefer online shopping over physical store shopping to get the job done. It’s less stressful and impulse buys just don’t happen as much. For the amount of clothing that I have to replace throughout the year, it just makes sense to shop for used clothing online. I was so excited when I found some awesome sites to buy from! Â

Final thoughts on buying second hand clothing online.
I love for my kids to look adorable, but I cannot justify spending a ton of money on clothes that only fit until their next growth spurt. Honestly, I don’t really like the idea of clothes shopping in a store either because I don’t have a ton of time or patience to do it.Â
