  Yes. Fitting in is important to kids, and
I'll happily spend the money to outfit my
children in the latest styles.

  Yes, within reason. I'll be buying my kids
new clothes this fall, but they're going to
have to limit their choices to fit our budget.

  No. I'll buy my kids some new clothes,
but I'm more focused on practicality and
price than their desire to follow trends.

  No. I don't buy my kids clothes for the
school year. They purchase their own
clothing.
