@Deleted member 18037 - 25 may still be too soon for her to wear PINK for me. I think I'll have to ask her not to wear it in my presence pretty much ever so that I can get through life.

Shh deep breathes, I was trying to be open minded. My first typing was 35 lol

Ditto the comfy clothes for my dd too. She's in grade 7 and i have seen the "fashions" that some of the regular stream kids wear and i will takes sweats and tees, leggings and hoodies over that any day for my 12 year old!

I am rather restrictive, perhaps because of my own experiences with fashion as a teen in the late 80s early 90s.

I was also somewhat of a Gymboree addict when she was little so I got most of that cutesy clothes phase out of my system then.

Oh, how I still miss Gymboree! My dd is now 12-has her own style I refer to as suburban 'hood. Sweatpants, oversized sweatshirt and timberland boots....not tied. It's quite the look. She does have some very nice stuff she pulls out-but she prefers comfort over style.

My 12 year old has friends who wear pink. Thankfully dd is still too small for most of their stuff, even with her recent growth spurt.

13 year old DD loves the PINK bras....they do grow up despite what we wish! However, her's is covered with tanks, sweatshirts and jeans....so, I'm OK with that....she was "blessed" with the need for a nice bra...

My girls are not only gymnasts, but they homeschool too. That means there are many days that go right from pjs to leotards to pjs again. I gotta say I kinda miss school clothes shopping with my girls. They both have their own styles though, which are generally mishmashed from different thrift stores. Both definitely have their girly sides, and the stores they aren't allowed to shop (pink)- and that they refuse to shop due to principles (Abercrombie).. I like that they're individualists, but do wish that they were easier to shop for!
