Tween in short shorts

Who wears short shorts? While the Royal Teens sang that question in the song of the same name, it's a question many parents are asking today as hem lines, particularly on shorts, creep up higher than parental minds could ever imagine. From what I can tell from friends and the blogosphere that is buzzing over the issue of keeping girls looking modest, parents are answering the "Who wears short shorts? So what are parents trying to keep girls short shorts out of their home to do? Be empowered. Realize that you have control, and don't be afraid to use it. Don't spend your money on clothing you find unacceptable. Stores carry those crazy short shorts because someone is buying them. Vote with your dollar. That's exactly how stores like Justice want parents to feel.

By Hilary Achauer May 11, Photo: iStockphoto. When my daughter was in second grade, a major heat wave hit Southern California. And when that happens, the only reasonable thing to do is head to the beach. As our seven-and eight-year-old children dug in the sand and dragged seaweed out of the ocean, a group of young teenage girls set up next to us. The girls, all about 14 or 15 years old, spread out their towels. Then, carrying with them the cloud of drama that surrounds girls that age, they walked in front of us and into the ocean. Like me, and many of the moms next to me, the girls all wore bikinis, but theirs were slightly different. They were sporting a bikini bottom style that was just becoming popular—the cheeky, or Brazilian cut, which exposes a few more inches of buttocks than the standard cut. This sent off a wave of whispered conversation among the mothers.

Some day he hopes to make it to Romania and settle down. We try to make this place a little better than we found it. You will be able to best gauge where her beliefs stand in regards to the church if you listen to how she describes her mission. I was so incredibly supportive of him and his career. Otherwise her family will likely feel incomplete to her. I love my non-member husband of nearly 20 years. A forum for ex-mormons and others who have been affected by mormonism to share news, commentary, and comedy about the Mormon church. When I acquired a personal testimony of the gospel as a teen, and made my own decisions regarding my faith, I felt very alone. He has spent years building his practice and is a busy, highly successful pediatric surgeon who is compassionate and respected by everybody, but I think by nature, it is hard for him to be empathetic or to relate to more personal issues. Sorry ladies, but that's just doesn't cut it for me.

Vote with your dollar. That's exactly how stores like Justice want parents to feel. In fact, they're hoping that you'll get so overwhelmed that you'll fork over the cash and leave your tween in charge while you go yell "Serenity NOW!

Don't do it. If you do decide not to shop at the store, don't be afraid to tell the store why. In fact, please do. If we all band together, we can have a big impact. The advent of social media has made it so much easier for us to engage in protest and gather people to echo our concerns," Miss Lori said in her article 7 Tips to Keep Tween Fashion Cool Instead of Too Hot. If you have to be legally responsible for your child, that means you get to call the shots.

Set out your expectations and your limits. Your tween may not like it, but that's okay. This may be the first time that your rules are different from those of other parents. That's okay. It's going to happen at some point.

At least, I hope so. Talk to your tween, explain your point of view. Younger tweens may honestly not understand, and this is a great chance to talk about the importance of clothes that flatter without sending the wrong message.

Note: while talking is important, don't get into a huge debate with your worked-up child. School have a dress code? It's your friend. Read it with your child prior to shopping. Use humor.

It's not easy, I know. Believe me, I know. Click here for some of my favorite clothing stores that won't have your tween looking like she belongs in Pretty Woman before Richard Gere shows up. Lands End has shorts on sale now and they go up to size While we haven't had a ton of success at Old Navy and they have some too short options, many other parents are a fan of their bermuda shorts.

There are pricier stores in this list above, like Crew Cuts , but I'm cheap. Tweens grow faster than they have since they were toddlers, so I'm not willing to invest in items without staying power. Can't find good shorts? Make your own. Buy jeans and cut and roll them to a length that works. Other parents suggest adding lace at the bottom.

I vote for other kinds of clothing. Skirts are often not as short, or are easily paired with bike shorts or leggings underneath that make them far more acceptable. Yes, please! Unfortunately, many have spaghetti straps. Add a cardigan, though, and your tween is good to go. Both skirt sand dresses transition easily into cooler weather with the addition of leggings, making them a more economic choice for the school wardrobe than time-limited shorts.
