[quote=Anonymous]1) Outlet shopping lowers the stakes financially. Teach her to leave tags on until she actually wears something, in case she changes her mind.

2) Find some other fault with the article of clothing (worn, faded, stained, no longer on trend or age-appropriate). Don't get into an "I look fat" "No you don't" "Yes I do" "No you don't". If she's saying she doesn't feel right, then she doesn't feel right. Teach her the vocabulary to express why.

3) "You are such a good kid, I think we should get lunch and do a little shopping so that you have some fresh things for springtime."

4) It's a hard age because they may like something that only comes in smaller sizes. Or sometimes they can wear ladies XS but don't like the styles because they seem too adult/boring. And it's overwhelming to have to shop in two departments. Get her started in a dressing room, then you take a quick pass solo through the ladies section for XS things she might like.

5) I taught my DD to work from a defined color palette so that things go with other things. Navy and gray as her neutrals, and green, pink, purple, and light/medium blue as her main colors. Generally sticking to that makes life a lot simpler. [/quote]
