[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally, I buy pants/leggings that are solid neutral colors, so that pretty much any top can match.  If I buy something that's not a neutral, I already know which tops it will match--and it has to match more than one top.  I will buy several items that can be mixed and matched from the same store--so two leggings and two tops in the same color scheme.

I don't have a set color palette, but I do keep in mind what colors I'm buying so that new things can be easily integrated.  [/quote]

+1.  I also tend to choose 2-3 "sets" from the same season/collection in one store, which can also be mixed with neutral pieces (solid leggings, plain t, etc.).  No licensed characters or glitter, and no slogans, unless DD has specifically chosen them.  It bugs me when kids are treated as billboards for a brand or their parents' ideas, but I'm totally fine with her wanting to support a favorite team or express an idea that's actually hers ("dog lover," "summer," "protect the planet," etc.).  This summer, I bought 4 different pairs of white bike shorts that coordinate with nearly every t/tank/dress/tunic she owns.  As soon as something gets holes or stains, it's either donated or tossed (depending on condition).

She actually wants to wear tops and bottoms that go together and has a not-horrible sense of what that means.  From the neck down, I think (and people say) she looks "put together."  Her hair, however, is usually sort of a disaster, and that definitely detracts from the overall impression![/quote]
