[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She won't admit it, but I think it's the brands. She has a pair of Lulemon shorts that she used a Christmas gift card on and another pair of Athleta shorts. Today I showed her some cute Nike athletic shorts that are on sale at Dicks and she wouldn't even look at them.[/quote]

I was about to say “don’t pick a fight”, but I would pick THIS fight.[/quote]

I don’t pick this fight, but we do have a budget. I generally say, I could pay $25-30 for the same thjng at target. I will pay that portion, but you have to pay the rest. And that is what my 12 year old does. She has birthday money, etc. that she spends this way. We also talk about how to mix and match the expensive stuff with some cheaper stuff. So we found Athleta tank tops on sale for $9.98. She bought two in different colors. She knows to go look hard at the clearance section.[/quote]
+1, my 12 year old DD has learned the value of the sale/clearance section. For Lululemon, I tell her I’m not spending $70 on shorts or whatever, so she can either wait to grab them on sale or she uses some of her money to pay for half. I don’t hassle her over colors, she wants multiple pairs of black Athleta/Lululemon shorts and it’s not necessary or worthwhile for me to insist she pick other colors. [/quote]
