[quote=Anonymous]Ok, so explain to her that you know she doesn't like to spend a lot of time getting dressed. So you are going to teach her how to do it efficiently, and this will make it easier for her.

1) Get her a haircut so it is as short as she'll agree to, and so the split ends are gone.  If you aren't happy with your conditioner do some research and find a new one.  See if you can get the stylist to thin her hair a bit, makes it a lot easier and will look basically the same.

2) Go through her clothes, toss anything that's in bad condition.  Then you need to streamline her wardrobe.  With my DD who has inattentive ADD, I really prefer to have plain bottoms-- all are black, gray, or dark blue.  All socks are those colors too.  Then, only tops that go with all of those bottoms, for example you might have a purple top that looks fine with blue, gray, or black.  Anything that doesn't fit this system gets put in a closet or box somewhere, a place where it's slightly harder to access.  The path of least resistance for her should be a dark neutral colored bottom, socks same color, and any top that is weather-appropriate.  [/quote]
