[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on, no one said sweats. OP said no buttondown and khakis. But you all insisting this 8 yr old wear a fluffy dress are ridiculous. There's lots of examples here of great looking appropriate pants, top and vest or jacket. [/quote] Yeah, but the problem is except for one thing that OP is trying to find in a cheaper option, OP said her DD won't wear any of the examples on this thread either. At some point, the event is going to be tomorrow and it is going to need an outfit. Sometimes in life people have to settle for necessary rather than preferred. If I were OP I would offer a few pants and top outfits with some of the tops from this thread, and a dress, and let DD pick from among those but "none of the above" would not be an option.[/quote] Way back on pg 1 OP LOVED an option. It's the rest of the cluckers making an issue from nothing. [/quote] Yes, OP said "OP again. LOVE this idea. Going to look on ebay for something similar (and cheaper)! " If she has managed to obtain something similar at a price she finds acceptable, great and problem solved! However, her subsequent posts on this thread indicate that there's a possibility that's not the case. If she hasn't found anything yet, it's probably time to come up with the "if we don't find anything in time then what" plan. That may include giving DD her options and having her pick which one is the least objectionable even if she doesn't actually like any. For our family, "none of the above" would not be an option because we do not think the only consequence would be DD feeling foolish for being inappropriately dressed. We feel that inappropriate dress for a formal event or anything with a dress code is disrespect for the host(s)/ess(es), which we're not OK with.[/quote]
