Tween Girl Back to School Outfit Capsule: 15 Items – 11 Outfits

Starring Mia from Working with Lemons

I think tweens may be the hardest age category to dress.  They don’t have a child’s or an adult’s body.  They don’t have a child’s or an adult’s style sense.  And it feels like the only thing available for these budding adolescents is covered in snarky screen prints.

We can do better, in fact, we can build a whole wardrobe that’s fashion-forward, modest, and affordable.   Check out these 10 items of clothing and 5 accessories that can be made into 11 outfits.  That’s two full weeks of original outfits, plus a day for extra credit.

Thanks to Mia from Working with Lemons for modeling all these darling looks for me.  If you haven’t seen her remake of The Greatest Showman, stop what you’re doing right now.  Because after you see that, you’ll be spending the next several hours watching everything she’s done back to her original real-life reenactment of Ana in Frozen.

Fall/Winter Capsule Wardrobe for Boys

Certain members of our family were born headstrong.  This 5 year old fought to wear a black turtleneck and blue jeans exclusively for nearly 18 months of his life.  He called it “ninja-bat.”  My husband and I called it “Steve Jobs in training.”  To help end battles without compromising style, I assembled a capsule wardrobe for my oldest son.  Ensuring he can pick his own outfit with the ease of a uniform.  Enjoy.
