[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You made rules about which tops your 12-year-old could wear with leggings and which days your 12-year-old was allowed to wear yoga pants?

To each their own priorities, I guess.[/quote]

Yes. She was wearing t-shirts she was about to grow out of with her leggings. So they barely covered her entire stomach. And yes - she was wearing very faded black yoga pants that were too short but apparently VERY comfortable that she didn't want to part with, even for new yoga pants. So no, she could NOT wear them to the holiday party at a friend's house, to temple, etc.

My kid gets sentimental about her clothes. ::shrug::[/quote]

I am with you PP. I do the same.  Leggings require shirts that come down far enough to cover her butt.  Yoga pants must be in good condition, pill free, clean, etc. Same with leggings.

I also upgraded the brands of leggings and yoga pants I bought.

I will also add, we don't buy a new shirt if we can't identify pants/skirt to go with it and vice versa.

Clothes have to match.

Clothes can not have excessive pilling, no stains, no holes.

Appropriate shoes/socks for the outfit as well. No patent leather flats with socks with shorts.

Some clothing basics we always have and updated as needed:

not too casual skirt and sweater or dress - again with appropriate shoes and tights/pantyhose if needed

Coat/Jacket including a rain coat- appropriate to weather, solid basic color to last the season, one coat that can at least pass as a dress coat,

Cardigan sweater - basic color in cotton to go with sleeveless dress in fall and winter

Athletic wear - shorts, capris, shirts, jackets for sports - spring and fall

shoes - boots for winter -uggs and some knock offs, sneakers - at least 2 pairs in good condition, flats - in black (rarely worn), one other pair of dressier shoes that will go with lots of outfits

Black capris and leggings - to go under outfits as needed
