[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a fan of buying trendy clothes to please the popular girls but there are times when it's important to have a few of the right things, or at least not the WRONG things, to fit in.  [b]Do you think her new things are too "young"?[/b]  I think this is typical in 6th grade when kids are at all different places.

I strongly suggest reading Queen Bees and Wannabees.  This was a very enlightening read for me.  It gives a lot of concrete suggestions for helping your child deal with this sort of dynamic.

We went shopping together at Delia's before Christmas and bought some sweaters so she could "layer" things. She also has some nice boots (from Nordstrom) that she loves with jeans. She also has a new jean jacket (from American Eagle). She has some new print shirts from JohnnieB (Boden). She really dislikes Justice ("too much glitter") and I have been intentionally trying to avoid the more basic/plain looks from Lands End/LL Bean.

Thanks very much for the book recommendation. I'm ordering it now.[/quote]
