When daughters are still young, its so fun to dress them. Little girl clothing is colorful and feminine. Yet somehow as young girls begin to grow many of them decide they want to look older than they are.
Whether mainstream fashion or the media are to blame the end result is the same - potentially inappropriate attire on little girls. We're talking about crop tops, short skirts and suggestive or sassy images. Are there ways to help your daughter look fashionable and still look like a little girl.
Of course!
Tips To Find Age Appropriate, And Fashionable, Clothing For Little Girls
Embrace child friendly designers and stores. When shopping with your daughter, steer clear of the mainstream stores which tend to sell the big girl clothing. Smaller boutiques and stores which specialize in clothing specifically for little girls will have beautiful clothing for your daughter to choose from.
Let her choose. Sounds scary right? Let your daughter choose her clothing. We'll I'm not advising giving them the credit card and setting them free in the store, no matter what their age, however you can give them options. When shopping with your daughter in a store or online, choose a few items you approve of and then let your daughter make the final decision. That way she can exercise her freedom and you can make sure the items meet your approval.
Cultivate her style. Each child has their very own sense of style. In fact, it can be amazing to see what they put together sometimes. Encourage your daughter to find items she likes. Have a discussion about what she likes to wear, why she likes certain items and what colors and fabrics she enjoys. Understanding her tastes will help you choose items more to her liking. After all there's nothing worse than spending a fortune on clothing that your daughter never wears or worse, stuffs under her bed.
Accessorize. Its the little things that sometimes make us feel the best about our appearance. A headband, a fun pair of tights, a fun bangle or necklace can really help a child feel good about how they look. And if your daughter is a hat wearer then they can really have fun with an outfit.
Be a role model. You set an example for your daughter by the clothing you wear. Moms that wear suggestive clothing will find their daughters emulating them. Of course this doesn't mean you have to wear pink polka dots and a faux fur trimmed hat however children do take their cues from the adults in their life.
Relax. Find a few stores which sell items your daughter likes and you approve of. Stock her wardrobe with items you're comfortable with and then let her have the freedom she desires. Letting go of control over what your daughter wears will help her cultivate her own sense of style and confidence. The key of course is to make sure you approve of the items in her closet. In the long run you'll both be happier and better dressed!
Little girls young and old enjoy fashion. It gives them a sense of confidence and helps them understand who they are. Help them stay the beautiful young and delightful children they are by providing fun and fashionable items for them to choose from. Find those key stores which appeal to the both of you. Give her a bit of freedom and reap the benefits.
