If you thought that keeping up with the contents of your quickly growing 6-year-old's closet was a challenge, just wait until she hits the double digits. Wardrobing your daughter during those tumultuous tween/teen years is no easy task — ask any mom who's been there (or, simply think back to your own adolescence — yikes). But before you succumb to the hell that lurks within every Justice store, take heed. There are plenty of age-appropriate fun finds for tween and teen girls out there . . . you just have to do a little sleuthing.
A Perfect Pair
We adore this two-piece set from Vince Girls ($58-$68), which will get her through the end of the school year in style.
Jailhouse Rock
Crewcuts' striped shift dress ($53) is easy to wear and perfect for your junior prepster in crisp navy and white.
TOMS Espadrille Wedge Bootie
If she's made her way into the women's shoe department and starting to show an interest in (OK, or beg for . . . ) a little heel, consider this Espadrille Wedge Bootie from TOMS ($89) as a tween-appropriate transitional pick.
Two-Piece Perfection
The ultimate Spring break swimsuit, Gap Kids' rash guard set ($35) is a way to stay covered up (with UPF 50+ protection) while still rocking a two-piece.
Maxi-mize
Appaman's high-low maxi dress ($53) goes up to a size 14, and its fun dot print is youthful without being babyish.
Romping Around
Exclusive to Bloomingdale's, AQUA's floral romper ($58) is easy to dress up or down for her Spring/Summer list of events.
Eye Love Eyelet
An eyelet bomber jacket ($37) is just the right weight for in between seasons, and this one from Gap Kids comes in four muted color choices.
Hippie Chick
The crocheted detailing and swingy style of Ten Sixty Sherman's pretty top ($30) may evoke Woodstock vibes, but it's perfectly classroom-appropriate.
Strappy and Sweet
Rikshaw Design's hand-blocked textile pieces scream Spring/Summer, and the brand now offers a small collection devoted specifically to teens and tweens. The crisscross dress ($58) is strappy and fun while still earning Mom's (essential) seal of approval.
Fruity Fun
A cozy sweatshirt in an on-trend pineapple print ($48) features button detailing down the back.
Tie-Dye For
We're secretly hoping to be able to squeeze into a size 16 of Crewcuts' pull-on pants in faded adire ($50) ourselves. Their breezy look is ideal for seaside Summer nights.
Athletic Endeavors
Target's C9 Champion brand is an awesome resource for tween and teen girls' athletic apparel. These woven compression shorts ($19) come in sizes XS-XXL and are available in a wide range of patterns and colors.
