[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whenever I see a consistently well dressed elementary school aged child I think that that he/she must have a mother with misplaced priorities who is squashing their kid's creativity and independence.

I really think it is better if kids choose their own clothes each morning no matter how wacky.  It really doesn't matter what they wear and it is a good area to let them have some control over their lives.[/quote]

my,maren't we a judgy mon?

our kids get to choose 3 days a week, but two days a week, mom or dad choose. MWhy?  If we didn't, certain clothes would be worn over and over, and other would never get worn at all.

WE also want to reinforce to our kids that they don't get their way ALL the time -- they need to remain flexible.   it also doesn't hurt them to know what a well-put together outfit looks like.

As for the secret of keeping kids well-dressed, I always buy 1-2 sizes up.  I only buy super-cute things that reall suit my kids.  Because I buy "ahead," we always have nice clothes from the previous season that still fit.  so, I can buy only things we really like rather than having to buy stuff because we need it.
