Depends the age, where we're going, &amp; how often they choose such clothes.</p> <p>I'm pretty hellbent on G growing up knowing how to dress, especially since so many guys lack in this area. When we're going to church or out to a function I'm pretty particular on "okaying" what he's wearing (he does the picking I do the okaying... I rarely lay something out for him).</p> <p>When he goes to a friends bday or out to a more casual environment he picks whatever he wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1101231 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:58:33 +0000 GrapeCrush 1101231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup. one of my fave pics is the kid and dad in superhero outfits walking in a store. i LOVE that! if DS/DD want to dress in a superhero outfit, or big tutu, or mismatched, why not? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100812 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:49:56 +0000 shopaholic 1100812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I mean, it would make for the funniest IG pics! :wink: And they could cringe and die laughing over it in the future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100804 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:46:32 +0000 Adira 1100804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd let them wear it!! Like someone else said, as long as it wasn't inappropriate, I'll let them wear whatever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100776 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:36:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 1100776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA I was that kid, so as a nod to my young personal style I would have to let LO rock whatever look she puts together and cringe internally ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100731 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 10:23:39 +0000 Lozza 1100731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO looks wonky half the time and that's when WE dress him, so we're unlikely to be too concerned about him looking whacked out if he dresses himself. If it's not unsafe (like flip flops in 4 feet of snow) or inappropriate, LO is welcome to go to town.<br /> That said, I totally reserve the right to tell him he looks crazy, especially as a teenager. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100638 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:55:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1100638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as I have a say at what comes into the house in terms of clothing the kids can put their own outfit together. I secretly hope they like country club, preppy chic though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100567 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:34:30 +0000 MamaMoose 1100567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You gotta pick your battles. As long as it's not inappropriate (no you can not wear your bathing suit to school sweetheart) I'd let her wear what she wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100539 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:26:03 +0000 bpcmarj 1100539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, I think I would so long as not slutty, or PJs, or seasonally inappropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100537 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:24:42 +0000 regberadaisy 1100537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: haha it's <i>bad</i>! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100534 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:23:47 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1100534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would! I have a feeling I'm going to be a strict parent, so I am going to try to say "yes" to things that aren't important. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100522 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:20:16 +0000 Koolbreeze 1100522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yep!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100518 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:18:59 +0000 stargal 1100518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya I would let.him. I would silently.laugh but.if he was proud of it I would be too. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100512 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:16:45 +0000 hilsy85 1100512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ehhhh depends on HOW bad it is. I would try to gently redirect him toward changing one item to a more neutral piece. But if it was either wear what he wants or have a tantrum, I would probably just let him wear it. But I would be cringing inside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100492 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:11:59 +0000 looch 1100492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends...I am okay with it all being all regular clothing, but I wouldn't accept pajamas or underwear worn as outerwear. Patterns, I don't care so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100477 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:08:39 +0000 autumnlove 1100477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let them wear it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100475 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:08:09 +0000 Smurfette 1100475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I would let them wear it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-chooses-their-outfit-and-its#post-1100463 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:06:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1100463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>loud, horribly mis matching, assertive etc etc. Would you let him or her wear it?</p> <p>LOL. My project manager showed me a picture this morning of her son (10) in a plaid shirt, plaid shorts that just match enough but not quite AND a plaid jacket. hahaha I got a good chuckle out of it! Especially because he was SO proud of his outfit and his expression was like "I look <i>goooood</i>".</p> <p>I think I would let her just go in whatever she picked. She's showing her personality! :D<br /> Except something that is slutty, sexy and too revealing! </p>
