What is up with the outfit J???

So I do the usual…..wake everyone up…..put the TV on Spongebob since he’s the only one that can motivate my girls to get dressed for school…. Amaia’s dressed….hair fixed and ready to go.  Kennedy is dressed, has one sandal on, and I’m fixing her hair when I notice Jordan (my 12 yr old).  What does she have on?!?!  Tell me why my daughter chose to wear some faded plaid shorts with a black DC shirt, and some black Puma’s!!  I ask her why she has chosen this particular outfit…..now I didn’t quite say it like that….my exact words were, “Girl what in the hell are you wearing?!”  She’s looking at me like I’m the one with no fashion sense, which I admit to having a limited amount of, but I do know that what she has on does not match!  Man I should’ve taken a picture of this to include with this blog because I’m telling you….it was a mess.  **SMH**  She yells at me, “Mom!  Black goes with EVERYTHING!”  Now who told her this nonsense??

           (these are the socks she chose to wear out!)

Anyway, I tell her which shorts to grab to match that particular shirt and which shoes to wear with it.  I think I have the whole outfit issue under control UNTIL I walk past her room and see what she has on.   **SIGH**   Jordan had on those same ugly faded shorts (that I think I will throw away when I get home today)  and a white, long-sleeve, thermal looking shirt with those same darn black Puma’s.  Now…..we live in Texas and the high for today is 91 so WHY is she wearing a long–sleeve shirt?  The black shoes are a whole other issue now too because they definitely don’t go with her outfit!

(Aeropostale t-shirt, basketball shorts, and a thick DC sweater???)

Somebody help me out because I no matter what I say….she doesn’t listen.  We have arguments over her choice in outfits pretty much daily.  I cannot for the life of me understand why she would choose to wear basketball shorts everyday of the week with a casual Aeropostale or Hollister t-shirt.  What part of this screams out cute??  And don’t get me started on her hair.  The hair issue could almost start a whole other blog, but she wears her hair in a ponytail everyday….no lie!

Now don’t get me wrong…I’m glad I don’t have to worry about the booty shorts and low-cut, mid-drift, very little material type of tops.  But good Lord her current idea of how to create a cute outfit is so far left that I just cannot bring myself to allow her to walk out in public like that!!  Am I wrong here??   My poor daughter needs a fashion makeover!
