When our girls are small, we dress them the way we like to see them dressed. For some of us, it was antique smocked dresses (if we were advantageous abundant to accept them), appealing and feminine things with Mary Jane shoes with ruffle-edged socks for dressy, and for accustomed we admired comedy sets with shorts and shirts that were blush coordinated.
That works for a few years — until it doesn’t any more. Almost overnight, that babe develops her own appearance and wants to abrasion WHAT SHE WANTS TO WEAR! There is no angry it unless the accouterments is outrageously absolute or inappropriate for school/church/grandmother’s house.
Then a ancestor has to say "no way" in such audible tones that there is no argument.

It’s all a allotment of a child’s developing a faculty of cocky and of her own style. That appearance may change from anniversary to anniversary or day to day, but she is gluttonous what works for her. Some of us adults are still seeking, too, but that’s addition story.
She may appetite to abrasion the aforementioned accouterments over and over, and as continued as it is analytic apple-pie and appropriate looking, there is no acumen why she shouldn’t. She may abrasion altered patterns and colors — but why not?
The affair that got me cerebration about this was seeing an ad on TV for a new (well, absolutely old) appearance alleged “The Gong Show.” Some of you bethink it, I know. Contestants appeared on the appearance to accomplish assorted acts for judges, and if the board were not impressed, the contestants got the gong and were gone, generally to tears and remonstrations that the board had no taste.
Our accouchement admired to watch it, and Lee chose “The Gong Show” as afflatus for his altogether affair one year. The accouchement in the neighborhood, a appealing bound gang, were asked to adapt an act, asinine or not, to be performed for the judges. The losers were gonged and the champ got some array of baby prize.

Gidget’s grandmother fabricated them continued skirts of lavender and amethyst glassy with waistbands of sparkly material. They wore ballet leotards on top.
They danced all about the backyard until they got the gong. They were appealing outraged, but afresh the benefit was accepting those admirable skirts. Laura wore chastening at every opportunity, but I drew the band at cutting it to school. Instead, she wore a abbreviate little amphitheater brim and her ballet top — over and over.
Her legs grew best and the brim grew beneath and assuredly had to be retired. I may still accept it somewhere.
My three granddaughters are all at the date of cutting what they appetite to wear. The 9-year-old chooses T-shirts with things printed on them and jeans. Not my favorite. Back I accord her appealing things, I never see them again, so I accept accustomed up on that.

I do bethink at some array of commemoration at the elementary school, Lillian showed up cutting a do-rag bandana about her head. It gave her a array of appreciative and aggressive look. I haven’t apparent her abrasion it anytime again. Maybe it aloof didn’t feel right.
At a aerial academy accident this bounce I saw some teenage girls cutting those belvedere aerial heels with soles an inch thick. Walking in those shoes gave them an ungainly annealed amble and threw their aspect all out of whack. Their mothers apparently were cerebration “I told you so.”
But girls will be girls back it comes to what they will wear.
