I sorta gave up on it with the exception of very special times and then I give her enough notice so she can cry it out and then she ends up wearing what I ask her to.My name is Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12532019900834158013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-9435920199106180152012-09-07T10:43:50.670-07:002012-09-07T10:43:50.670-07:00I have some of the same problems with my 21 year o...I have some of the same problems with my 21 year old daughter with ds. We are also in the process of bagging most of her clothes to give away. She is not into fashion, makeup, hairstyles or accessories. A couple of weeks ago someone thought she was closer in age to her 10 year old sister than her 18 year old sister, and that REALLY bothered me! I keep joking that she should go on TLC's "What Not to Wear" and get a new, cool wardrobe! Instead, we are getting rid of the old, somewhat immature clothes and buying new clothes and shoes. She actually had fun shopping for the first time (yay petite section at Kohl's...she loves the Chaps line of clothing...who knew?)Mary Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-77776337405216261302012-09-02T18:46:32.472-07:002012-09-02T18:46:32.472-07:00Nate is the same way.

How about only buying two colors of clothes, ever. Coordinating colors - blue and purple, yellow and white, whatever, and no crazy patterns or stripes - eliminate the ability to mismatch? Just a thought. The important part is that she's happy wearing what she chooses, right :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988590894638135312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-37468465593955457492012-08-31T14:18:18.171-07:002012-08-31T14:18:18.171-07:00I love that first comment, too!!

Can you perhaps match up the things she wears all the time with a few new things that go with them, so she'll be able to grab those from her closet on the fly, too?

But if she isn't worried, if she's comfortable in the clothes she wears, then maybe she is protecting herself? Hope there's a way you and Beth can reach a place where you are both relaxed and comfortable waiting for the morning bus xCazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510913426379145516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-6043438621433789302012-08-31T10:21:11.844-07:002012-08-31T10:21:11.844-07:00I totally see your point and I feel for you in thi...I totally see your point and I feel for you in this situation. But...imagine world where we were all like Beth and we did not waste time and money on finding, purchasing, and picking out just 'the right' clothes. How much more time and money we would have for more important things like relationships and helping others.<br /><br />As a society we 'say' that beauty comes from the inside but do we truly live by that philosophy or judge people by that philosophy? <br /><br />I know it's hard, hang in there. If I saw her I would probably not even notice because I would be looking at her pretty smile!ckbryllianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903634427934180138noreply@blogger.com
