Yay, Babysitters Club! I LOVED those books in elementary and middle school!! I believe that there's also a blog, "What Claudia Wore", that has illustrations of what some of Claud's outfits looked like from the books.
I know how you feel about stuff you already own feeling new! I recently moved out of my parents' house but had to leave a lot of my ponies and stuff behind. I guess the next time I visit home it will be like getting all new stuff!
