What age did you daughter have to have the right clothes, shoes?

Q. This year school shopping with my daughter was tough. She had to have a particular style of Nikes and clothes. She is going into 2nd grade! What's up with that?
She wears good brand name shoes - no payless junk. That is not an option. Her feet are growing and need good support. I was just amazed she had a certain style she "had to have".

A. Although, I'm just a new mommy. I have a one year old, I so hope that I won't be dealing with the issue you have described.

I think it's great that she's expressing herself with her clothing, however there is a limit. Just because all the other kids have it doesn't mean she gets it. You are still the parent here and you have the final say in what gets purchased.

My mom would have looked at me and said "if all the other kids jumped off the bridge would you?" of couse my answer was no and then she would say well then do you want to look just like them, NO. I defiently didn't get all the trendy clothes and I grew up just fine, but when mom said No I knew that was the end of that conversation.

Do you give your daughter an allowance? If so then, suggest to your daughter that if she really wants a particular style of Nikes
that she needs to pay for half the cost with her allowance. Tell her what the cost is in total and then tell her how much she needs to contribute. It's a great way to teach your child the value of money and the cost of items. If she saves her half then go get the shoes.

If your daughter does not receive an allowance then now is the time to again tell her that she needs to contribute to the cost of the shoes by helping with chores and earning the money needed.

Good Luck in the future.


Is Charlotte Russe like a cool store to shop at? Is it at the mall or is it a catalog or what?
Q. I'm so out of style! I'm out of school and don't work right now so I don't really get to see what's in style out there! What types of clothes do they have that are cute? Oh, I'm 24. Am I too old for their stuff? I don't have kids and actually look more like 18!

A. They have stores at the mall and online. The stuff there is cheap and trendy (meaning, the style that's "in" right now) but it's not the best quality. I personally don't go there because the clothes look cheap and the colors don't suit my style. They have skinny jeans, bright dressy tops, tees, pretty much everything including shoes. Charlotte Russe targets people in their teens to twenties so you could shop there.

Lately the trend has been kinda punk/skater...So Converse, skinny jeans, neon colored tops, chunky jewelry, and just really over-the-top stuff is in. If you've ever seen the Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place, the stuff that Alex Russo (played by Selena Gomez) wears is what you can find at Charlotte Russe.

But CR is by no means a store targeted towards a specific style. Lots of my friends shop there and find cute clothes, so it's worth checking out. Plus, they have great $5 sales. :D

Hope that helps!

Answer mine? I'm giving best answer to the next "I don't know" answer.
