Where to shop for tweens? Here!
Any mom to a girl between the ages of 7 and 14 knows the dreaded Pit Of Despair when it comes to dressing them--it seems like most choices at that age fall into either the "too cutesy" or "way too mature" camp. So what's a mama to a discerning tween or early teen fashionista to do? One new option: Shop online at Sol Tween. This online boutique caters to sizes 8-14, with the same carefully curated selection of designer pieces you normally find from boutique brands that only come in smaller sizes. There's nothing too cutesy, absolutely nothing skanky, and yes, they carry clothes for boys too.
Even if you're not normally a boutique shopper, keep this one bookmarked if you need a special occasion dress. I nearly wept for joy at all of the trendy-but-tasteful options. -Mir
Check out the special occasion dresses and other tween-sized garb at Sol Tween online. And through May 30th, get 10% off your order with coupon code springishere.
