Preteen clothing

Last night Kiki and I went with her friend to shop for some clothes. Kiki has been complaining about her clothing and apparently, I have old woman taste in clothes. Hey, it was bound to happen some time. It turned out good. We went to some trendy stores but the prices were pretty reasonable and her friend was pretty helpful. I think it was the mother-friend balance that really helped. Kind of like two extremes balancing each other out. I spent just over $200 but Kristen really needed stuff. I didn't know about the fingertip rule with shorts at her school. The shorts need to come down to at least her fingertips and hers are too short. Kiki's got my long arms and legs I think! Many of her shirts aren't long enough or she thinks they are babyish. So we bought her some more. Also a couple pairs of skinny jeans and capris. Not too skinny though! My baby is a size 1. This is our first foray into junior sizes. Kiki looks cute and her clothing is appropriate - not trashy like I feared.
