[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid wears a uniform to school. I get like 10 of the same little polo dress, plus a pair or two of pants and shirts in the appropriate colors. Then we accessorize. She likes tights, so we get fancy tights and nice shoes.

[b]The real secret, though, is making sure that her hair is not a mess and all the clothing is intact, unstained, etc. I make sure that her bangs are trimmed and that her hair is brushed and styled (ponytail usually, sometimes more elaborate) every day.[/b] [/quote]

This is one part of it.   My kid's hair is always neatly combed, face, clean, etc.  There was a girl in my kid's class last year with long hair that was nearly never brushed or styled in any way. I don't think the bar is very high to have a young, school-aged kid looking good.  Kids in elementary school look like slobs for the most part.  My kid does not wear sweatpants to school and usually wears a collared shirt.  I do one H&M order at the start of the school year and order sporadically from Lands End and Target.  I also do some of the thrift sales held by the private schools.  I am not spending a lot of money--it's less about you shop than how much you value teaching your kid that taking pride in your appearance in not a bad thing.[/quote]

That was probably my kid. Not my fault. As soon as I brush her hair it gets all crazy again. [/quote]
