Is this bad? Would you be offended? Please help!?

Question

One of my close friends is going through some tough times. She has a daughter who turns 4 soon and is going to full-time preschool because mom has to work. I thought it would be nice to send over a back-to-school outfit. I bought this and brought it over with a picnic lunch for them

Do you think that's a bad outfit or something? Inappropriate for a 4 year old? What do you think?

Answer 1

Whilst I'm sure you meant it well, and it is a very kind and lovely gift, people can be very hurt when it comes to children and finances.

I think perhaps she misinterpreted your intentions, thinking you were saying I know you can't afford clothes at the moment. If the purse strings are especially tight atm, I'm sure she's extra sensitive to gift giving.

Maybe just tell her you didn't mean it in an offensive way, you just wanted to treat the little girl, and you don't mean to sound like you're giving charity. I'm sure she'll come round to it once she see's her daughter in her outfit (which btw, is VERY cute!) that'll make her feel better.

I think your gift is lovely!

:)

Answer 2

no it looks alright to me maby she juyst didnt want you to buy it for her

Answer 3

no i think it's gorgeoue it's really cute. not appropriate at all. and it was a lovely gesture more people could do with good friends like you. you should be proud of yourself

Answer 4

its nice, the kids 4, she cant be in baby-grows all the time.

maybe she just didn't like how short the skirt was, all parents are like that.  

Answer 5

i dont see anything wrong with that outfit she must not have liked it

Answer 6

offended, why offended???

i think its pretty cute

and very nice of you

Answer 7

Thats not bad at all! Thats sweet! I like the outfit

I wouldnt be offended

Answer 8

no of course not ! its a nice gesture and a really nice outfit , i bet her daughter loved it !

people can be really self centered about there own pride or w/e instead of just seeing a good friend giving a nice present to there kid.

if my friend did that i would give them a big thank you.

Answer 9

hi! the outfit is really nice n cute. u see, evry one doesnt lyk what evry1 soes, its not necessary, there r ppl who r different, i dunno y ur friend didn lyk it! i did, but thats ok, ur choice was gud, maybe hers isnt, (no offence to her) i mean that she has different views of what will luk gud on her daughter.

Answer 10

it was quite alarming to look at at first, but once my eyes adjusted and really looked it over, it really is very cute! a 4 year old girl would look so very adorable in it! it probably will look better on her, because when i see things in the clothing shops some look much better on me than they do on the rack. maybe that's why your friend was horrified? maybe you should ask her, does it fit her daughter? that way she can say no if she truly hates it, even if it does fit, and you can take it back if you kept the receipt that is. personally i think it is very trendy and sophisticated and would suit a 4 year old.

Answer 11

I think the outfit is beautiful ~ my daughters would deff. wear it.  You're friend was probably just taken back by your nice gift.  You sound like a wonderful friend!

Answer 12

umm... ur a really nice friend and i bet she appericates it... but the shirt and pants dont really go together and the shirt is really ugly.

Answer 13

It's cute.

A wee kid would liket that.

Answer 14

Wow, you are a great friend.

I think it is sweet and she will definitely appreciate it - even the sweet heart will look pretty in it.

Answer 15

I think it's really cute. It's not inappropriate at all. She has those leggings to wear under the dress so it's not like it's revealing at all.

Answer 16

No not at all!!..Thats a pretty snazzy outfit if i may say so myself!!...Its gorgeous!...
