[quote=Anonymous]I tried to do that and my mom wouldn’t let me. But I had a really controlling mother who chose all my clothes in high school and restricted my access to transportation so I couldn’t buy my own things (before debit cards, Internet shopping, etc). If I could have gone to college with only things that reflected who I actually was and what I actually liked, I would have barely taken anything. Has your DD been stuck in an identity forced on her by family or by the culture of your town or her high school? In other words, is she a really sporty kid in a town that chafes against anything that’s not girly, or a thrift store shopper but you only buy her preppy clothes? Or maybe she is going somewhere very different than home and just wants a fresh start. Sounds great to me! Get her a copy of the Marie Kondo book. I think she would enjoy it and it might help her explain to you where she’s coming from.[/quote]
