[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 yr old really likes Boden clothes (and Hanna) and specifically likes the clothes some of you are deriding as "geriatric and babyish." Like she actively likes them and will choose them over the more "cool" options people are recommending here. She is a kid who still like pink and flowers and ruffles. It is her genuine preference and when she sees other kids wearing clothes like that she will tell me "oh I really like that dress."

If she gets flak for it at school I don't hear about it. But to be honest, she doesn't seem overly impressed with her classmates opinions on things so even if they don't like how she dresses, I doubt she cares.[/quote]

That's great for your DD.  If that's her style then that's what she should wear.  (My DD would be roasting (turtle neck, cardigan, and corduroy!!!) and probably itchy at the neck in the Boden outfit posted, FWIW.  Style aside, it doesn't really seem conducive to everyday school and play clothes for active third graders.)  And if your DD is truly unbothered by being teased then she is a rarity among kids (and really humans), but good for her.

The OP's DD is not yours, however.  She wants to blend in a bit more to shut some mean girls up.  Let her.  Folks on this thread are just answering OP's question and letting her know some fashion trends they are seeing.  Big deal.  Everyone relax.  [/quote]
