[quote=Anonymous]Unless your kid goes to a really small or homogeneous school, there should be plenty of all kinds of kids around that they won't stand out or not fit in. Perhaps there is a particular group they're interested in, in which case, the clothes may or may not help.

We can afford to buy DD whatever she wants. We don't. She gets money, that she can choose to spend in ways she wants. Sometimes she makes bad choices, but that's okay, because she'll come to realize later that those were bad choices, and why. She mostly wears what most kids her age wear, from where most kids get their stuff from - anything from Target, to thrift stores, to Aerie. Sometimes, she'll get dupes from Amazon, because sticker shock.

The most expensive thing I've bought for her recently, is her Converse, for Christmas. The previous one she had was literally falling apart, she's worn it that much. I am considering getting her a Define jacket (which she desperately wanted for Christmas) for her birthday. Or give her $250, and she can choose whether it's really worth it.[/quote]
