Lyn D, I wish I had read your post before I left because they were great suggestions.</p> <p>It was interesting. DD was by no means an impulsive buyer and comsidered things very carefully. She was a bit bowled over by how much things cost, not having had to consider this before. She ended up with a black open weave jumper (sweater) and some canvas slip ons from Target, and some heavily discounted ugg boot esque boots. These purchases set her back $30 and she has more than that left (My mum gave her some money too)</p> <p>I was hoping she'd buy a warm jacket and some boots but the whole point is that it was her choice. She wore her colourful rain boots the whole day (almost the only thing I had bought her this winter prior to the birthday) and reckons they will do for boots as she found them quite comfortable.</p> <p>We went to a foodhall for lunch (her choice) where she had 3 spring rolls. She is very keen on " the city" now ( we live in a regional city that is fairly small - really just a large country town) and excited that her day included trains, buses,, and escalators!</p> <p>It was very tiring for both of us, and I am glad we called it a day soon after lunch. We will probably head out to a suburban mall later in our stay, as I need to grab a few things for the other girls, and I will be taking up Lyn's suggestions too.</p> <p>Last thought. - July really is too late to go winter shopping!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mother-daughter-shopping-trip#post-665613 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 06:56:05 +0000 Lyn D. 665613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you both have a lovely day! Don't forget Diva for some inexpensive accessories, Target- the section for teenagers might just have some cute stuff in the smaller sizes, and Jayjays for tops etc if you don't mind sorting through their huge piles! Oh, and Big W still have some nice sale items too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mother-daughter-shopping-trip#post-665598 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 06:04:05 +0000 Alecia 665598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Anne. That sounds lovely. The most important part, of course, is just the time together. I know you'll both really enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mother-daughter-shopping-trip#post-665570 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 05:16:03 +0000 AJ 665570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a special time to look forward to!

I hope you both enjoy yourselves. This might be an idea to keep in mind for my daughters' birthdays. We did spend last DD9's birthday shopping for new sneakers for both of them, plus lunch out! They seemed to enjoy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mother-daughter-shopping-trip#post-665209 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:27:15 +0000 Echo 665209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a tradition with my DD, too, although she isn't much interested in clothing yet (she's 8). But we do a day out together, sometimes at a waterpark, with a spa visit to have a kids pedicure or a visit to Build-a-Bear. But she is more and more interested in what she is wearing, so I imagine we will be spending more time shopping soon. Have fun with your DD; I am sure she will have a blast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mother-daughter-shopping-trip#post-665195 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:52:17 +0000 Anonymous 665195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very sweet! My mom and I still do this for my birthday every year. It's such a fun tradition and I look forward to it every year.

I'm sure she'll enjoy it and you'll make a happy memory. I remember the times my mother and I shopped together. We had similar tastes in clothing, so shopping with her was something to look forward to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-mother-daughter-shopping-trip#post-665041 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 13:14:52 +0000 Amy 665041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, how sweet!

I think this may have been from a YLF suggestion.<br /> This will be a first for her. I don't buy her many clothes as she gets gifts and handme downs but I thought that she would like an opportunity for a leisurely shop in the city and her own choice.<br /> Should be interesting! </p>
