[quote=Anonymous]I have a high school age daughter.  I, too, noticed a shift in 3rd grade.  Half the girls dress like children and half like miniature adults.  The boys all dress the same!

I would not encourage the “teenager” look for a 3rd grader.  First, your daughter has the wrong friends.  Second, let her pick her own style (obviously within reason.)

I do not know where you are currently purchasing clothing.  However, you could taking your daughter shopping at a couple mid range stores and let her try on a variety of items to see what she likes.

I disagree with the above.  I lived in Chevy Chase and bought my child clothes everywhere from Old Navy to Nordstrom.  I would not encourage brand signaling.

Old Navy, though not the most durable, has a lot of variety and plenty of items in store on.

Uniqlo has a lot of kids basics and graphic tees.  The graphic tees at Uniqlo sway less “babyish”.

Gap Kids, Dicks Sporting Goods.

Does your daughter like the clothes of any particular friends? Ask the parents where they buy clothing.

Take her to see choices.  Try on and see what is comfortable.  Feel the fabric. Look at colors.  Go and stop for some hot chocolate when you’re out to make it fun!

Shoes.  I do find brand name shoes are more durable and supportive.  Though fit here is key.  Have her try on shoes.  Pains me to see children (and adults) walking around in shoes that don’t  fit and their feet rolling in!!
