I consider myself extremely lucky to have both a son and a daughter.  While there are plenty of differences, there is one that I wasn't expecting at all : people LOVE to buy clothes for girls. My son was born first and plenty of friends sent us gifts; we expected fewer gifts when my daughter was born. Um, no.  People came out of the woodwork to buy her dresses, hair ribbons (despite her middle-aged man pate), skirts, and skin-care (ok, maybe not). 

I must say that this extreme generosity was not guilt-free for us. There were lots of great clothes, but they were mostly only to be worn once.  Sure, we gave away whatever we could, but there's still some waste.  

I mentioned this phenomenon to Ashley and her eyes lit up: "I have the perfect shop for that!"

vintagegreenpeas, who opened up shop in May, makes adorable skirts and dresses from vintage pillowcases.  It may only be worn once by your daughter, but it's had plenty of use before!
