Despairing of my DD's lack of fashion sense

[Remotew]

Try not to moan about my DD (15) on here as she is basically a very easy teenager but things have come to a head re her sense of dress.

I long since realised she was never going to be interested in fashion but it's getting ridiculous.

She wears the same pair of jeans most of the time. I have to go out a buy her clothes myself. We don't get chance to shop together much as we live in a rural area. When I take her into town she isn't interested and says she doesn't need anything.

Her friend came round to go out, kitted out in the latest, as most of them are. She came down in a vest top and flimsy jacket! On a freezing night so I had a bit of a go. Truth is I'm embarrased as it looks like I carn't afford to clothes her nicely. She changed into a warmer coat eventually.

Any tips to get her to take a bit more pride. On the rare occasion that she goes to a party I have to buy her a dress or borrow something and she looks lovely.

I wear what I want, and when ever my mother and I have discussions about the appropriatness of my clothers (normally to skimpy for the wheather), I politely refuse to change and tell her that as a teenage what I wear is my business and if its inappropriate for what we're doing I'll accept the consequnces (looks/cold/inconvenience of short skirt during activities).
With a 15 year old you have a few limited things you can insist on clothing wise.
Hygine & cleanliness
Way to much flesh being exposed (a little to much is just about ok)
Going over budget with the clothing allowance

You're lucky, better to have an uninterested dd, then one whoes clothes rule their lives (I like to think I was somewhere in the middle).

To previous poster on the mother daughter sharing clothes debate - I have brought some of the jeans my mum wears in my size (she littler then me , but she is allways stealing my clothes - often stuff I don't wear but I have been begged to bring my nice jumpers which I wear on smart days back from uni, so she can them.
