How to dress my children?! Tromso March to September!

[irsk]

Hei,
Jeg flytter til Tromsø for seks månedene mars - september.

Looking for viktige stykker å kle jente i alderen 1 i mars og gutt i alderen 4 mai 2012.

Jeg elsker Janus og Nøstebarn stykker. Men de er dyre! Jeg leter etter et par stykker for å komme i gang.

Butikker i Irland har våren klær på lager nå, er vinteren nesten over!

Eventuelle andre merker eller butikker du kan foreslå også for klær som passer til Tromsø klimaet?

Takk.


Hi,

I'm moving to Tromso for 6 months March - September.

Looking for essential pieces to dress girl aged 1 in March and boy aged 4 in May 2012.

I love janus and nostebarn pieces. But they are expensive! I am looking for a few pieces to get started.

Shops in Ireland have spring clothes in stock now, winter is almost over!

Any other brands or shops you can suggest also for clothing suited to Tromso climate?



Thank you.

You won't need that different clothes from what you're already used to. Maybe a medium thick wool layer and some mittens, a woolen hat in the beginning, and goretex outerwear. You can buy Janus clothes at Coop Obs Hypermarked once you're in town, and there are often price reductions, as well.

Welcome to Tromsø! I suspect you won't find the weather so different from what you're used to, at least not once the snow has melted.

Tromsø in May can be absolutely wonderful or it can still be winter. If it is winter they will need wool. Norwegians get pretty good at finding wool at affordable prices. Wool does not need to be washed as often as cotton or synthetic fibers.

I buy a lot of clothes for my children at H&M. It is cheap and holds well. H&M has about the same prices in Norway as in London (which is what I can compare with).
