<p>my HS D loves her uggs…perfect for school…today we went PreChristmas shopping and talked about what they might like</p>

<p>They know have pretty much stopped growing, so are looking for items that will last longer, and thus are usualy more expensive, instead of the cheaper stuff that in the past they outgrew anyway</p>

<p>So, we went and admired and massages the most lovely boots!!! Great with the skinny jeans…ah to be able to carry off those jeans!!!</p>

<p>The new event that is quite annoying is Gossip Girl- the fashions are to DIE FOR, i hear…sigh</p>

<p>Both my Ds do the east coast look, but with some The Hills style thrown in</p>

<p>citygirlsmom: Oddly enough, some of my best bargains have been in NYC. Things are heavily discounted fairly early on in the process because there is so much competing merchandise.</p>

<p>LOL: D camplained this trip home, “Why do I have to have such expensive taste?”</p>

63

<p>Oh but you see on Gossip Girl- they aint bargains… apparently one pair of tights was 100 bucks</p>

<p>Not that my D wants 100 dollar tights, but the styles are very cute but hard to find</p>

<p>ANd my D is in school in NYU and says, she can indeed get the fun cheap stuff- she just can’t afford the 100 Aldo boots, that I do agree are amazing</p>

<p>We are at the point in their lives- both- that we are building wardrobes</p>

<p>^^not really.
I mean, obviously the party dresses and stuff are amazing and priced likewise, but the stuff they wear regularly isn’t too hard to find…not the same brands, but the same styles
h&m, free people, delias, american apparel, jcrew, urban outfitters…they all carry that sorta stuff.
free people, jcrew, and urban outfitters are def expensive, but you can find some amazing stuff on sale. I just got a bunch of tops from UO that were like $10 each</p>

<p>the style is not so much about buying the items as it is how you put them together. </p>

<p>I got 5 pairs of tights for $6 each at Old Navy.<3
3 black, 1 brown, 1 plum
They’re fantastic for tranforming your summer wardrobe into a fall one, and you can layer them for cold days</p>

<p>

I think that this is very true. Two people can shop at all the same stores but dress completely differently.</p>

66

<p>Just to thank you folks, and to tell you that your advice was followed to the letter. D got her grandmama to get her a North Face jacket, and UGG chocolate boots. And they are both delighted.</p>

67

<p>That is great- my grandmama insisted on buying me camels hair coats ( of course I was 12 and it was 1969) :p</p>

<p>I love it when grandparents ( and parents) actually listen to what the kid is saying rather than trying to get them to be the person they think they * should* be</p>

<p>For young people living in the Boston?Cambridge area, check out The Garment Factory near Kendall Square. Cheap and cheerful.</p>

<p>emeraldkity4 - This is getting weird. I wore those 1976 Frye boots of mine with a camel hair coat that MY grandma bought me. But I actually wanted it. Hey, I tried to buy the new boots on Zappos, Endless and another website and all the 7.5s are sold out. So I’m thinking that they must be a hot item.</p>

<p>Even though D lives in nyc, she follows the Parisian style of fashion (meaning dressing and looking very French and paying very close attention to what and how Parisian women are wearing/dressing, so she’s very particular and discriminating about what she buys and wears - and her wardrobe doesn’t include UGGS! Also, clothing styles are about 6 months ahead of even nyc.</p>

71

<p>HAha, I thought this was talking about Catholic mass too.</p>

<p>Any college student reading this thread - I do not get the “tights thing.” No one is wearing them except college kids (I did see some people wearing them over the summer, but that was 4 months ago). They are only flattering on 2% of females, and they are all 20% below average weight. If (big IF) you must wear tights, they should be worn with tops that are over your hips, and definitely not with any heels. </p>

<p>My daughter(s) do not own any North Face. They wear a lot of strappy, baby tops with jeans when they go out. They usually have big sweaters and soft ts during the day, big scarf with wool coat or water proof jackets. They like boots with a bit of a heel, flats or loafers.Free People is one of their favorite brands. Rich & Skinny is the hot new jeans at the moment.
I don’t know if it’s just at my daughter’s school, but designer bags seem to be big. When I went to pick her up a week ago, those girls were carrying nicer bags than some adults and they were real. My daughter is asking for more bags for xmas, but am not sure if something I would like to encourage.</p>
