Tween Fashion Wishlist – Spring/Summer 2015

I love shopping for tween fashion pieces. Well, I love shopping full stop, but there’s something extra special about picking out things for other people.

Stacey’s at that age now where she really appreciates being bought nice things, and together we’ve come up with a little wishlist of 4 outfits that we hope to be able to buy for her very soon. We hope you like it!

The first outfit is made up from 4 pieces from New Look and H&M, and it’s ideal for those cooler summer days as it consists of a sweatshirt, trousers and basketball shoes. We were thinking that this would be the perfect outfit for Stacey to wear whilst travelling to Great Yarmouth later on this month, as we tend to leave quite early in the morning and it’s usually quite cool.

H&M Sweatshirt with Lace – £5.00
The sweatshirt is a lovely, short style with lace detailing on the shoulders. The back section is slightly longer than the front, and the sleeves have sewn-in turn-ups. I think it would go with lots of different bottoms, like the beige trousers we picked out above, denim shorts and even jeans. It could be a real summer staple!

New Look White Roll Sleeve T-Shirt – £4.99
Stacey loves roll sleeve t-shirts, and this cotton one from New Look is a casual fit with a round neck, so I think it would be great to wear underneath the short sweatshirt. And if it warms up and the sweatshirt needs to come off, the tee will look great on it’s own. Stacey also has lots of other things in her wardrobe that would look good with this.

H&M Beige Stretchy Trousers – £9.99
It’s been a long time since I last bought Stacey any beige trousers, but as soon as I saw these stretchy ones from H&M I just knew that we needed to add them to our tween fashion wishlist … they’re just gorgeous! They have 5 pockets on them, zip fly and up until age 12 they have an adjustable elasticated waist. If we only buy one thing from the list this year it just has to be these.

H&M Patterned Basketball Shoes – £6.00
Stacey’s really in to basketball shoes at the moment, and I have to agree that they look fabulous on! I saw these leopard print patterned ones on the H&M website and wasn’t sure if she’d like them or not, but she really does! These particular ones are lace ups and and they have rubber soles. I think they’d be great for wearing this summer, and they’re on sale too!

The second outfit features 4 pieces from Forever 21 and Next, and again this is definitely something for those cooler summer days or nights. You might think we’re crazy for choosing things like these at this time of year, but living in the UK you have to be prepared for pretty much every type of weather!

Forever 21 Bow Print Top – £5.00
I added this gorgeous bow print top to our tween fashion wishlist as it reminded me of one I’d seen and loved from J Crew a few years ago! At £5.00 though, this one is considerably cheaper. The top is made from soft and stretchy heathered cotton jersey and has slightly puffed long sleeves and a gorgeous cascading bow print all over it. It’s just lovely.

Forever 21 Navy Jeggings – £10.00
If there’s one thing that Stacey just has to have in her wardrobe, it’s jeggings! She likes them as they look a lot like jeans, but are more comfortable. We love this navy pair from Forever 21 as they look like they would go with absolutely tonnes of tops that we already have at home, so she would be bound to get a lot of wear out of them. They have a mock fly and front pockets, and proper ones at the back … perfect.

Forever 21 Hooded Denim Jacket – £19.00
We love this denim jacket from Forever 21 as it’s very different to the other jackets that Stacey has in her wardrobe. It features sweater-sleeves that give kids a little extra mobility compared to regular denim sleeves and has buttons down the front. There’s also a hood which is a bonus. After all, how many times have you gone out on a sunny day only for it to start raining unexpectedly?!

Converse Chuck Taylor Hi (Unisex) – from Next – £27.00-£53.00
Stacey’s friend recently passed on a pair of pink converse trainers like these that she had outgrown, and Stacey absolutely loves them, hence her wanting another pair! This time she’s chosen a navy pair, and has also gone for the same style as she knows that they’re super comfy and look great.

The third outfit we’ve picked out for our tween fashion wishlist is a little more grown up than the others, but I think it would suit Stacey fantastically. It features 4 items from BHS, New Look and Accessorize, and is great for the warmer summer nights.

BHS Black Lace Back Tee – £8.00-£10.00
I don’t think you can ever go wrong with black, no matter how old you are. And one of the loveliest black tops for tweens I’ve seen this season is from BHS. It’s plain black at the front, and then the shoulders and back of the garment is covered in a gorgeous black lace. It has short sleeves with turn-up cuffs and a round neck. Very glam!

New Look Blue Authentic Ripped Denim Shorts – £12.99
It wouldn’t be a summer tween fashion wishlist without featuring a pair of ripped denim shorts, and we absolutely adore this pair from New Look. They’re a casual fit with zip and button fly fastening, belt loops and ripped detail down each side. We both agree that they would actually look really nice with most of the tops we’ve mentioned in this post, so they’d be bound to get a lot of wear if we were to buy them.

New Look Black Leather Chelsea Boots – £34.99
Chelsea Boots are still very much in fashion this year, and we love this black leather pair with a gold side buckle. They’re quite pricey compared to the boots I usually buy for Stacey, but I think they compliment this outfit really well, and once she moves to secondary school in September she will probably need a better quality pair than we usually go for anyway. I buy a lot of New Look shoes and they always last for ages.

Accessorize Ornate Cut Out Shield Pendant Necklace – £6.00
I think a more ‘grown up’ outfit most definitely needs some cute accessories to go with it, and we love this simple but elegant necklace with an ornate shield pendant with small resin stones, diamante detailing and intricate cut-out parts. It has a long chain as well, which is perfect for the upcoming festival season!

And the fourth outfit is one that I think is wonderful for sunny days out at the park! It is made up of 3 items from BHS and New Look and has lots of Stacey’s favourite colour in it: PINK!

New Look ‘My Unicorn Made Me Do It’ T-Shirt – £9.99
With Stacey still being as crazy about pink clothing as she was when she was a toddler, I had to make sure that I suggested something that represented that. And what better than this adorable t-shirt from New Look with the slogan ‘My Unicorn Made Me Do It’ on the front?! It ticks loads of boxes for me too as it has roll sleeves, a round neck and gorgeous lace detailing on the shoulders. What more could a mummy and daughter ask for?

BHS Mid Stonewash Denim Dungarees – £15.00-£19.00
Aww, I used to dress my little Stacey in short denim dungarees every single Summer when she was younger, but over the past few years I’ve not found many styles of them that I like. These ones from BHS are right up my street though, and I think they’d look fantastic with the unicorn tee! They feature a rip and repair style on the legs, and have adjustable straps for the perfect fit. We love them.

New Look Pink Double Tongue Lace Up Trainers – £10.99
I know, I know, we’ve already picked out two pairs of trainers similar to these in this post, but these ones were too cute not to feature! They’re from New Look so they’re super affordable and they are pink on the outside and have a floral print lining. Another perfect shoe choice for the summer months. Just gorgeous.

And there you have it, our tween fashion wishlist for Spring and Summer 2015. I hope you like all the items we picked out as much as we do. And if you’ve seen anything else that you think Stacey would like please make sure you let us know in the comments below.
