Prefacing this by stating I’m not a parent! I’m an auntie though to a soon to be 11yo.
My sister posted my niece’s wishlist for her b-day and it included a lot of the norms I expected (makeup, lotions, purses) but the clothing has me stumped. My niece stated she wanted flare jeans, skirts, dresses (all normal to me), and crop tops, spandex.
I only recently started buying myself crop tops when I turned 21 (I’m 24 now), and mine cover up most of my upper torse with really just cleavage and my stomach showing. I’m not sure I would feel comfortable buying the same style for my 11yo niece, but I do still want to buy her clothes she would like.
She is into a more alternative style. I’m looking for stores, either in person or online, that would have age appropriate clothing that would fit what she likes. I’m in the US. Any recs?
