To think at 25 dd1 can wear what she wants

[Happiestyearofmylife]

She’s just given away a load of clothing as says she is too old for it.

She doesn’t want it any more. Isn’t that her choice?

Depends on what they are.

If they're her old romper suits, she probably has a point.

She is wearing what she wants though surely?

She doesn't feel comfortable wearing them anymore, for whatever reason (in this case she feels too old) so is choosing not to and wearing something else instead.

There's loads of stuff I wore when I was younger that I wouldn't wear now just through personal choice

She's 25, not 2.5? Her choice. Simple as that. Not too sure what you're asking here, OP

What exactly is your AIBU OP?

she doesn't need her old Forever Friends pyjamas anymore, no.

I think you're contradicting yourself saying she can wear what she wants but then complaining she's got rid of clothes that she doesn't want to wear any more

Just feel sad for her that she feels she can’t wear crop tops and short dresses anymore. As she loved them

I'm assuming there is something missing from the OP and someone else is objecting

My experience is - I think at 25 you start to realise that you’re not young young anymore, like 18. You start to look at settling down etc and not partying as much. For example most people would have been to uni and completed their studies and be in a more professional role, where as 18/19 it was out clubbing with friends all the tine etc…

Mid twenties were like ‘what an I doing going out every weekend getting drink in tiny mini skirts’ and something in me felt I was too old to be wearing such party clothes etc…

Of course the 40 year old me thinks 25 is no age, but it’s all relative. There’s things now that I wouldn’t wear at 40 that I would at 30, because I feel too old really. I’m sure someone in their 70’s would say I’m still young and I shouldn’t care and just wear what I want, but the reality is you are judged. That saying mutton dressed as lamb.

I think people should be able to wear what the want but that doesn’t necessarily equate to them feeling comfortable in what they’d like to wear….

Oh I was wrong about what was missed from op.

What a shame for her that she feels she’s too old at 25 to wear clothes she loves!
I’d still be wearing crop tops if my belly wasn’t so flabby and I still wear shirt dresses at 47. Has she got low self esteem of is she just ageist?

Are you saying your dd wants yo wear them but thinks she shouldn't because she's 25? Or has her sense of style changed?

Why on earth are you emotionally invested in this? Why on earth are you sad she is choosing a different, perhaps more mature, style?!
This has to be the most bizarre/risible post of the week.

She thinks she shouldn’t wear them

It sounds more like you who's sad OP.

I used to love my skinny jeans. I don't any more. It's no longer my look. Don't feel sorry for me, I just prefer a looser style these days.

Well she doesn't love them now so why are you sad?

Is there more to this? Bad friends or boyfriends telling her what she can and cant wear?

My 23yr old son lives in shorts, I'm pretty sure as he matures he might decide that trousers are a more grown up way to dress. Why does it matter what she wears? I definitely wouldn't go out now dressed as I was as a teenager.

Maybe she’s come across someone who she considers to be cooler or more sophisticated. Abandoning crop tops doesn’t mean abandoning style or youth.

She can wear what she pleases and if she feels she’s too old for crop tops etc that’s fine. I’m sure she’s making her way in the world and wants to manage her own image,
