[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD never cared for clothes until...this year.  Now all she wants to do is shop.  Problem is that she also wants expensive stuff--like Lululemon and Uggs and Aviator Nation sweats.  I know this topic comes up frequently but I don't know what to do--do I let her go down this route or not?  Cost is a factor though we could afford it if I could any pros to it. I can't!!!!  Also, how long does this phase last? 
DD is in 9th grade and goes to public.[/quote]

Avaiator Nation sweats no.

Uggs & lulu birthday or christmas presents. One pair for the Lulus she wants more she can babysit or walk dogs or shovel snow.

I was the kid that never had a name brand anything it was hard.

Lots of amazon dupes of Lulu's by the way. They are pretty darn close. [b]Same with Zella at Nordstom original Lulu designer = Zella. [/b][/quote]

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know that. I saw a cute tennis skort online at Lululemon but never made it to the store. I happened to be at Nordstrom Rack and bought a very similar Zella one for much less. [/quote]

I think you need to be realistic if you are in an area/school where it is common to have these things. My DD definitely doesn’t get as much as she wants but having a few of these things  to fit in is important at this age. Per my DD, a knock off would be worse than not having the item so keep that in mind. One thing we do is my DD does like thrifting so she’ll do that for other items to stretch the budget a little farther for some brand items. We’ve never seen anything like lulu at a thrift store although some things are on posh mark. Lulu also does sometimes have some items on sale so I’ve encouraged her to focus on those items.[/quote]
