Recycling with style- July 19, 2012
Clearly from this photo I’m big on recycling. I did do my 4th grade science project on recycling. It was the early ’90’s back when putting one can in a bin constituted saving the earth. The picture on the left is a shot from our maternity photo shoot in fall 2010. The shot on the right was yesterday. Still rockin’ this dress from 2010! Yes, it’s a maternity dress. I’ve learned I can re-wear lots of preggo clothes.
Can a get a “Belt It!”?! That’s what I did to this maternity dress here…
I’m not the only one recycling. Last summer I put Charlotte in a 12 month dress at 9 months old because I was terrified she would grow out of it. Ha! I’m an idiot. My teeny senorita is 20 months and can still fit into 12 month outfits. See…

Did you catch the outfit Charlotte was wearing at the top of this post? Yep! Recycled! It’s a 9 month outfit she’s wearing now as a 20 month old. It was a dress last summer, and a top with shorts this summer.

Kid sizes are kind of a crock. So are most maternity clothes. Take that manufacturers!
Spread it around:
I can’t recycle maternity clothes. Mostly because my boobs went from Cs before kids to DDs while nursing to As. So my maternity clothes have big empty boob sacks when I wear them now. Depressing as Hell. I recycle Will’s old clothes for John, but this is unfortunate for John because when Will was 16 months old, he was in 24 month clothes. He was always in 80-90 percentile for height and weight. John is pretty average, 50-60th percentile.. 18 month clothes are slightly big. So he swims in Will’s old 24 month clothes but I’m too cheap to buy him stuff that fits. It’s going to end up being like how Harry Potter had to wear Dudley’s old clothes with a belt looped around his waist 3-4 times. Whatever. I’m saving the Earth too.
