It's very disappointing to know a present that has been lovingly bought was not really wanted. Your Mum was only doing her best for you and I think under these circumstances I agree with the other advisers. Wear it around the house and when your Mum can see you wear it. You can always hide it under a hoodie or something like that if you need to go out in it. Once you have worn it a few times to please your Mum, wear it less often. At 14 you are still growing so it won't be long before you have outgrown it anyway. I have bought my daughter things that I did not know she hated and just to please me she has worn it (in silent suffering I might add and she eventually told me she didn't like it). As she has got older I have asked her to pick out presents she really wants and I don't buy her clothes unless she has stated exactly what colour, size etc. Perhaps you might sit down with your Mum and flick through a catalogue to point out your own style. Good luck.

Things like this are tough. It's happened to me a bunch of times. Honesty can hurt, even though it is the best policy. You can get around it though. That's what white lies are for. There's no harm in making your mom feel good, so just say you like it. Wear it around the house, or at a family type thing, that way you won't have to wear it in public and be embaressed. You make your mom happy and your fashion status doesn't go down the drain. It's a win/win situation. Hope this helps.

i think you should start it off saying "mom you always want me to be honest right?" and she'll say yea probably and just say "well thank you soo much for that shirt but im probably not gonna wear it" and if she asks why not then just tell her nobody wears those kinds of shirts or something,
if that doesnt work then just wear it to make her happy but wear it like when your in the house for the day so that way she wont be sad & you can wear it for her :)
