cut your coat according to your size.

no need going over the budget for new clothes for kids when you can afford to cloth them in good and neat Tokunbo clothes.

First thing I must put into consideration is my purse content.
If I can afford to get new clothes every now and then- Fine, If not - ''Bend down Boutique'' would just be perfect, as long as my kids don't look unkempt.

cut your coat according to your cloth
whatever you can afford will do.

Haba how can you buy tokunbo for your kids? Even if you need to buy clothes for your kids, there are inferior clothes you can buy which are better than tokunbo. There are numerous skin diseases out there. The funniest thing is that the tokunbo clothes some are more expensive than inferior clothes.

Nothing wrong with decent used baby / young kids' clothes. Don't forget, children grow up quite fast, especially between new-born and toddler stage. Expensive clothes they'll soon grow out of? I see little point.

@ Sophy: The chances of your child catching a "skin disease" from used clothes are the same as from new, they could well have been handled by someone with eczema or similar. If you're that worried, you can always wash them, and use Dettol or similar to disinfect them.

I would buy Tokunbo, if they were at the right price over new.

I really do appreciate all of u that v contribued to this topic. what most of u r saying is, cost ur coat according to ur size and pocket. New or Used clothes, u know what is best for u, so go after it. have used tokunbo clothes myself and thanks to God cos I never contacted any infection, it was watched with all infection killing soaps and dettol.
