Gasp! I just bought my daughter her first abercrombie

What's an abercrombie?

I'm a neophyte when it comes to designer names, fashion fads and shopping.

It's important to fit in when your that age. If she stills needs designer names to feel complete when she's 40, then it might be a problem.

(I think I bought my first pair of Sasson jeans at that age.)

That's what we bought

She did look cute in them and they fit her well - she is a tough fit because she is so thin - their products are made tighter which actually works for her because she is thin.

She felt like a hotshot in them.

Tall thin girls have huge problems finding clothes....my cousin is 6ft and a size 2. Abercrombie and Hollister fit her very well. Unfortunatly, they cost near a years wages and your soul but hey...LOL

Kidding. If she has a few pieces, so be it. What I can't stand is those parents who bend to everything. Every little piece of clothes has to be designer. You are a good mom and have proved it over and over again.

Buying your girl some abercrombie doesn't change that.

Thanks! Also, they were marked down quite a bit. I already told dad that we need to let her know she is not getting these clothes on a regular basis - only when there is a good sale.

Or if she can get into STanford, then youll spring for whatever name she wishes to have on her clothes.
( I hope she will want to have STANFORD on her Hoodie)

She actually told me she wanted to go to Harvard this past weekend.

I suppose , as a second choice Hahvad is OK.

Well, feed her!! Christ - I have three girls 12 years down to 7. They eat like it is going to be banned - potato products and icecream are apparently on the hit list. ****, they would willingly forgo brand name clothes for brand-name num-nums....

She certainly does eat - quite a bit - she is just thin naturally. I was like that when I was young too. And I would eat 3 huge servings of spaghetti and meatballs (my fav at that age).
