"Clisby"
What's wrong with the boots? OK, I'm a real slacker of a mother, but as
long as my children are decently covered in something that fits the school
dress code, it's really not my problem. If their clothing combinations
are really weird, I'm sure some other child will kindly point it out.

Nothing wrong with them at all. But she has a lot of dresses and skirts...
not to mention shorts etc that she wants to wear them with. It's more of an
annoyance for me than anything major. We laugh about it regularly.
Particularly since I can be really OCD about some things. (I'm a "shoe
collector" so I notice shoes usually before anything else lol)

One really important thing about parenthood (and life, for that matter) is
realizing which problems are your problems and which problems are others'
problems.

This one is your problem and not your little girl's problem. So dont' try to
make her fix it.
