My advice is not to fight it too much unless what she picks is totally unsuited to the weather. Since adults buy the clothes you can avoid the trashy stuff entirely.
When I realized that I can tell when my husband let my daughter dress herself I decided I was too concerned about something that really didn't matter. My 12-year old likes to wear costumes I've made for her Shakespeare drama class. Apparently there's no event that can't be improved by wearing a doublet.
It's actually kinda nice that she thinks about it and dresses herself. So far the disagreement is just on clothes that are appropriate for the weather. This just wasn't expected by me, since our son wasn't interested at all.
