Age Appropriate Back To School Outfits For Tween Girls

My daughter is back in school! Yes! And you guys know how it could be difficult going back to school shopping with her.

But we managed.

And she was able to pick out some cute and affordable items.

We found these shirts at Kohls (on sale with a 30% off coupon on top of that!)











(Most outfits will be paired with her Adidas shoes. She's weirdly been obsessed with Adidas stuff.)


Natalie has been wearing Gymboree since she was a baby, and many pieces go up to size 14 now! She picked out this shirt that says "No Bad Days." She went extra "stripey" with these skinny jeans.








She loves overalls, so she picked these out!



She LOVES accessories, so she picked out these glasses at Claire's.







Justice is one of Natalie's favorite stores, so she found several options there, all on sale! (Many at least 50% off, or from a sale online.)

















Please pardon the blue swimsuit she had on underneath. After the photo shoot, we headed for the pool since it's incredibly hot in Texas.



Now, Natalie LOVES this next outfit, but the dress code at her school is bizarre: no leggings if they don't have pockets. However, I think she could still wear the above outfits, because the leggings are paired with oversized shirts. I think.

These dress codes are getting out of control and it stinks that girls seem to be dealing with the brunt of it all because apparently boys can't handle seeing leggings without pockets. Or something.


I don't know about you, but I would think this would be appropriate for school. But because the pants don't have pockets. she can't wear them. Bizarre. Still. She'll wear it when she's home and can wear the shirt to school at least.

Obviously I get that she can't wear the hat to school. She can wear it on Hat Day!






The next outfit will be perfect when it cools down.



It's an oversized cropped sweatshirt, so she'll be wearing a tank top underneath.








Are your kids back in school?

  2. She looks very cute! I'm surprised Adidas is still so popular among tweens! I remember them being popular when I was also that age. When my daughter reaches that age I wonder if that will still be the case.

  4. It is really nice to see girls wearing the comfy outfit such as tee, jeans and addidas shoes to school. Over here in Asia, the kids wear uniform and can be quite boring. I like how you paired the outfits super cute and the little model is really good in front of the camera. Look so natural.

  5. Your daughter has a great sense of style. All of her outfits are so cute! I can't get the past the school code of not being able to wear leggings without pockets. None of my leggings have pockets. That is way weird.

  6. That's odd that the school rules mention leggins without pockets as not being allowed. I understand if there are see-through leggins that are very, very tight, but the ones your daughter is wearing look more like pants than leggings.

  7. Very cute outfits! I love the stay magical one. Maybe the school thinks leggins can't be too tight if they have pockets?

  10. She is adorable and could be a model. As for Kohl's I love shopping there for my son although I didn't make it to it this year. So I need to go soon. As for her shoes I my family likes that brand as well along with Skechers.

  18. I think the last outfit is my favorite. These outfits resemble what I used to wear to middle school!

  19. I agree that the girl's dress codes are getting way out of hand. Her looks are fantastic! My 10 year old is a tall girl with a long torso and has outgrown the kids department, so that adds an extra dose of challenge when BTS shopping. Our middle school has just put a no tank top rule and shorts must have a 5" inseam rule in effect this school year. We're in Central CA where the temps remain well over 100* until at least October.

    And I love her choices. It's amazing that in some photos, you can still see the young girl and in others - you see the teenager she'll be in a few years.
