My co-worker related and interesting story. She has a 15 year old daughter, Katie. Katie's best friend (same age) is Jenny. My co-worker agreed to take both girls to the mall for some school shopping (Jenny was bringing her own money) Well, Jenny showed up at the house on the day in question in an outfit that was shocking! Tiny, tiny low rise shorts and a tiny halter with no bra. My co-worker has stated that this girls clothes are usually not to her taste, and are usually a little on the trampy side, but this was over the top. She very nicely pulled Jenny to the side and told her that she thought her outfit was too skimpy for the outing and offerred to swing by her house on the way so that she could change. (she couldn't offer to let her borrow her daughter's clothes because Jenny is several sizes larger) Jenny agreed, but of course, the daughter pitched such a fit about being "embarassed" by her mom that they never ended up going.
This, strangely, ended up in a disagreement among the folks that were discussing it. Some saying that she didn't have the right to tell another person's child how to dress, and some (me included) saying that she had the right to say that she wasn't comfortable with the situation and ask the girl to change.
This is a situation I hold dear because I have found that teen and tween clothes have gotten out of hand. My 11 y/o loves Limited Too, but I often find their clothes to be too "grown" for the children to whom they are marketed, and often have to have the "It's not fayerrrrrr, everone else wears them" argument. I do buy clothes from LTD2, but I am very selective and make her try them on 1st.
Opinions?
