Do you have an 8-9 year old DD?

[IAmRubyLennox]

And if so, where on earth do you buy their clothes?

She used to be dressed beautifully and now seems to live in ballet leotard and leggings with a North Face hoody over the lot. I'd really like to get her some summer clothes but I can't find anything I like.

DD loves Primark boys t shirts and asda trackie bottoms ...does your daughter like to wear what she's got now?

I layer dd's sun dresses with t shirts or cardies to avoid bare shoulders.

Primark/Asda/Peacocks/New Look.
That's what my budget says she can have!

Dd isn't particularly bothered about what she wears, and hasn't a clue about brands etc. She also doesn't wear dresses or skirts as much as she liked to when she was younger.
It is me who likes clothes and me alone , and find immense pleasure at buying her things I find nice.

DOoin I don't think so? TBH I was looking through the store window as I'm too poor, too old and too fat to feel comfortable inside, they looked child sized - pale beige and cream vertical striped jeans? Do River Island price in Euros? It's possible I saw that and not £'s.

dd is 6 but generaly 8 - 9 clothes mostly from
next
gap
peacocks
the odd fat face and h&M but both are slightly too slender for dd.

dd is loving the romatic type of look: flowery tops, hair bands etc, chinos, pumps or strappy sandles. shorts over leggins, t shirts and other layered looks

she also likes joggers t-shits flecces and hoodies mostly feom nike or adidas outlet.

Actually I think they do MrsD. Their tags often show Euros and £s.

Dd1 has some pale beige snakeskin print jeans from there and some bright blue skinny jeans and they were both £19 a pair.

I've just checked the website, jeans from River island cost from 15 to 20 pounds.

Hmm Could have been these in which case I have no idea what it was I read off the price label although I'd swear it was £40, not £20.

Abercrombie kids range is good. DD feels like she is on trend but actually is wearing very simple t shirts and hoodies that do wash really well. She has ex small Hollister bits too but fit is much less good, trailing sleeves and v baggy.

All her jeans are skinnies from mini Boden - the most reliable fit and adjustable waist. She does have some gorgeous colours including cobalt blue from a previous catalogue and this season's citrus - bright yellow.

She also wears bits from Zara and has recently prevailed on me to buy some pineapple tops which are bizarrely "in" at her school.

I do miss the days of Oilily, Pampolina and catamini though

Also got DD a couple of bits of the DVF for gap kids range for this summer. I know opinions are mixed but I do think they are lovely and because of the bright colours not too little girly. She has worn the t shirt dresses over skinny jeans and had loads of compliments. Could be worth a look to see what is left, especially whilst 30% off is available.
