[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is unwise of you to limit her because by doing so you invest clothing with more importance than it otherwise would have. You also deny her the chance to connect consequences with choices. If she goes out skimpily dressed [b]she will likely receive lots of unwelcome attention that she will have to decide how to handle[/b]. Let that process naturally unfold. Clothing selection for Western teens is a critical part of identity formation.[/quote]

Ew, let your teen be sexually harrassed so she can figure out her fashion style. [/quote]

You can alert her to this possibility but do you really think she has not observed the effect that wearing certain styles has on some people? Teens are anything but clueless about fashion. I refuse to turn style into a battleground as my parents did. I went to college and wore exactly what I wanted and decided on my own to shift to a more conservative look. Let your DD grow.[/quote]

+1 and don't forget that some of us received unwanted attention no matter WHAT we were wearing. Don't you moms remember that? I sure do. Prepare them for that![/quote]

+1 Unwanted attention can come when they're wearing a hoodie and sweat pants [/quote]
