I am really stuck regarding clothes for my DD, 10 seems to be a real in between age in that most of what's in the shops is either too old for her in my opinion or too babyish in hers. Doesn't help that she is very petite so what she fits into does tend to be towards the young end of the scale.
She mainly wears skinny jeans or leggings with a longish top or normal jeans, t-shirt and a hoody, and has a couple of nice dresses for occasions. I am sensing that she'd like to start dressing a bit more fashionably but I can't afford to spend a fortune and am unsure what's appropriate for her. We normally shop in Next, Zara, Gap, John Lewis, M&S and supermarkets because that's what's nearby but have just returned from a very frustrating shopping trip with 1 pair of wellies!
She loves some of the things in Zara and tried on a pair of red skinny jeans with a blue and white blazer a few weeks ago which looked absolutely fantastic but it was £50 for the outfit which I was a bit loath to spend - however I fobbed her off with some cheaper jeans from Tesco and she clearly doesn't like them as much because she's hardly worn them so maybe I need to face spending a bit more (or should I not be letting a 10 year old have so much say in what she wears?)
What do other girls of this age wear and any ideas for new places to try - online would be ideal as I can't face traipsing round the shops again any time soon!
