Looking for someplace

[mom2jdd]

To get Deana a back to school outfit. . . she wants something she
can't get in Central IL. . something that screams "I'm different!'
(remember her Christmas outfit last year that screamed "hello! It's
Deana!" ?) Nothing risque of course, as she'll be wearing it to
school. We have a fairly loose dress code, but still . .. .

So websites of your favorite places to shop. . . . any places to stop
while we're between home and Lancaster PA. . . .

This is the girl who has cheerfully worn hand me downs for years (from
the boys mostly), has not complained about patched clothes. . .who
even asked to shop at Goodwill for her Christmas clothes last year--
the girl who has behaved pretty maturely through one bad relationship,
a new relationship, any punishments we've doled out recently, through
her car accident, etc. . . so we'd like ONE nice, new outfit for the
new school year.

Denise... Are you looking for a specific store? What style is she looking for?....What size does she wear?....

No advice here, but what a lovely Mom you are to chase around for something nice for your dd.

No specific store-- just preferably not the chain type stores that are available 'everywhere'.

Style? She's pretty eclectic in her clothes-- everything from goth to carebears to almost brazen hussy.

Her Christmas outfit was a maroon lycra top, only one sleeve/shoulder. . . black leather skirt, and black leather boots. . .

She's big on Pink Panther. . . . or black/pink combos of clothes.

Size-- 3/5 Jr.

Denise, I don't know if I can help you for a new outift for school, but I might be able to help you. I'll get back to you about it. I'll pm you....

Also, I just had a thought. Here in Canada we have a fashion store for the whole family---baby to adults and they have great styles and great prices. They often have sales, also. My son Daniel who is extremely picky with his choice of clothes likes to shop there.

It's called *Old Navy*.....Let me check if they have a web site...and one in US...
