At what age did your mom let you choose your own outfit every day?

My mom still lays out what I wear every day even though I’m perfectly capable of making my own choices.
But I’m wondering how some older women remember from their childhood, when it was that they were allowed to choose their own outfit.

My mother never laid out my clothes within my memory. I remember having to dress myself. At age 11 she was buying me absolutely horrible clothes, which made me miserable to wear, and at age 13 I requested that I pick out my own clothing on our shopping trips. At age 16 she began to drop me off at Jordan Marsh with her charge card and I could shop for myself.
