I know - I also sometimes have that problem. It's just that it cost $25 and I don't want her to think she can be that casual with money.
I know, I do the same thing. I get the girls a pair of jeans with rhinestones or sequins on them... They come home and some have fallen off and I get upset. But honestly if they do not wear them to school, then they sit in the closet and they grow out of them :P Can't win
