[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
I didn't expect to wake up to 4 pages!

My issue with the dresses is that they're just so boring.  They're carbon copies of each other with absolutely nothing to them.

When you go to lulus.com or Revolve or ASOS or Anthro there are pages and pages of gorgeous mini dresses.... and they're all different.  Meanwhile the girls all wear the most basic an boring solid colored slip dresses (or at least they did last year) My daughter wore a dress with a full skirt to winter formal last year and I think she was the only girl there not in a solid color slip dress and sneakers.

I know she can do her own thing (and she did last year) but I'm hoping that maybe the girls are getting bored of looking exactly the same year-after-year.  Slip dress and sneakers.  Slip dress and sneakers.  Why even dress up if you're just wearing a uniform?  [b]What happened to personality or creativity?[/b]  When I was young we all wore unique dresses.

I like that sequins are in.  At least it's different.   [/quote]

Most people are followers. I find it hard to believe that everyone wore a unique dress when you were young -- maybe your friend group did, or maybe that's what you remember, but most people tend to stay in similar range. I'd say the only way to inspire creativity is to tell your girl to be the one who is willing to be different. Then she'll encourage those who are afraid to take more of a risk. [/quote]

OP here.  Yep, well I think she's going for unique.  And completely out of left field she was asked by a boy who is about as popular as it gets (lacrosse star, etc).  My daughter is pretty but also super brainy and artsy.  This guy usually goes for the instagram-model, bikini picture-taking types.  Not this year.  It's funny.  I think some boys mature with age and realize they can break the mold of what is expected of them too. [/quote]

Good for her! [/quote]
