My daughter is about to turn 11, and she is such a fashionista! I asked her to come up with a list of fashion trends that she’s seeing a lot of in her favorite magazines, websites, and clothing stores. More importantly, I wanted her to share a little bit of her fashion sense with the rest of us.
Thanks to The Children’s Place for sending us this cute top and shorts! They fit in perfectly with what Grace is LOVING this season. 🙂
Pops of Pastels
Save the wild colors for the summer, ladies and gents – pastels are HOT right now! From pastel yellow toe nails to light lilac head bands to pastel pink shorts, this is a sure fire way to be on trend with what is popular right now for tweens.
Sweet Details
Fruit! Slices of watermelon, perky pineapples, or sweet red cherries are where it’s at! We love the pineapple tee from The Children’s Place (pictured). My daughter is so into fruits right now that she’s even going to buy a pineapple cover for her iPod!
You can even find fruity prints for jammies. Look at these cute pineapple PJs!
Leggings are IN
Leggings aren’t a passing fad. They’re here to stay, and the capri length leggings are especially fun for the warmer weather. Apply some of the same style tips to your leggings – pastel and sweet, fruity designs make leggings even better!
We recently bought a couple of capri leggins from The Children’s Place. They go with everything and are so light that they’re perfect for hotter temperatures.
Freshen Up Your ‘Do
If it’s been a while since you’ve trimmed your hair, it’s time to take care of that winter frizz and enjoy clean cut spring locks! Grace doesn’t want people to think she means that they have to cut their hair short, but wants to remind folks how nice and light freshly trimmed hair can feel! It can add body and bounce, even without cutting much.
Strappy Sandals and Fancy Flip Flops
This is the perfect time to get some great new shoes. If you have tweens, you know how fast their feet seem to grow, jumping up 2 sizes from season to season sometimes! Grace recommends a nice pair of strappy sandals to go with all of your favorite capris, shorts, and skirts.
Not only that, but fancy flip flops are really hot right now. Whether they’re adorned with little jewels, faux flowers, or have a fun wedge, it’s time to get some new shoes for the warmer weather! Bonus if it can be worn pool-side, too. Look at these fancy Americana Flower flip flops. Cute, right?
