The Ultimate in Tween Style with Target + 20% Off All Apparel

++a HUGE thank you to Target for sponsoring this tween fashion post… absolutely OVER THE MOON ecstatic to be collaborating with this household brand that is near & dear to my heart in so many ways and thankful for your endearing support friends ++

Not only was I having a total pinch me moment when I got the email about this partnership, but it’s safe to say both Caroline and Carson were in their total dream world when I told them they’d be getting to show off some of their favorite tween styles from Target! If you’re new to these parts, we LIVE for Target… my weekly Target Thursday roundup has turned into quite the event and you can find everything I feature for easy shopping here.

It’s obvious we shop for the entire family at Target, but today we are focusing on all the girly goodness that their tween department brings to the little ladies in your household. Their in-house, exclusive brands–More Than Magic by Target + Art Class by Target— have become celebrated collections both C+C love to wear and each help them show off their individual styles in so many ways.

Even better, right now Target is offering 20% apparel for the entire family… the best way to purge through the present wardrobes and make way for ALL the FALL goodness!!

Case in point, let’s start with these fab new fall arrivals we just scooped up! It’s safe to say that if these came in my size, I’d be the first one in line to purchase. Major boho vibes with these Art Class separates that let their imaginations and creativity run wild. It’s all for empowering exploration and making your mark in this world… something I am always trying to share with the girls = dream big ladies!!!

My sweet Caroline told me that this Black Pinafore Dress was made for her and I couldn’t agree more. She has turned into quite the little lover of overalls and this one is easy to mix and match with so many shirts! This $10 Thermal Floral Tee is a great staple that’s anything but basic… the ruffled sleeve detail and all over print was made for autumn adventure.  And then of course, the Studded Band Floppy Felt Hat… if your little fashionista is a lover of hats and hair flair, this is a MUST at just $11. I have a feeling this one is going to be a fan-fav for sure!! As for the shoes, another staple sneak are these Leopard Spot Slip-Ons… with added gold detail for extra pop and under $20, too.

As for our little nugget Carson, it’s no surprise she jumped with joy over this Zip Front Utility Jumpsuit is a great neutral cognac color that’s anything but basic. For just $22, it makes a statement all on its own and then pair an $8 Classic Boxy TShirt with it and she is set for school and anything else that comes her way!  Finally, no outfit is complete without Leopard  Booties… another anything but basic addition to their wardrobe that takes their OOTD up a notch!

Additional Art Class Amazingness 

Next up, let’s talk about all the active by way of More Than Magic… if you’re into sequins, tie dye, sparkle and glitter, this girly line was made for dancing the days away and lets you shine by showing off your sparkly style while celebrating their  uniqueness and self expression = all the girl power in our house! Every time we browse through Target and my girls see this glitter wonderland, they go gaga… from activewear + dance to bath/beauty + accessories, the gals add this goodness to the cart ASAP!

Since both my girls are active everyday after school with gymnastics and dance lessons, their bright and bold options for dancewear always make them smile and they are easy on the wallet for this mama who loves clothing that is not only budget-friendly, but made to last as well! It sparks their creativity, let’s them express themselves and gives an inspiring view of the future of female… check out these new arrivals that absolutely make a bold colorsplash with FUN:

First let’s start off the the awesomeness that is this Orange and Pink Ombre… the Gym Shorts +  Sports Bra got Carson’s attention when she saw the all over shimmer design with a pop of playful color! Made with plenty of stretch for moving and grooving at dance, the bra features a fun cutout back band for a little extra statement on style and the shorts are equally cute as they are comfortable… approved by the little diva dancer herself!!

Caroline’s love of all things science and the planets couldn’t be more aligned than this brand new debut in the form of this Blue Galaxy Leotard + Gym Shorts duo. Her favorite colors are blue and purple so this all over pattern definitely got the seal of approval from CC. More shimmer and shine with loads of stretch for helping her master her back handspring, my little gymnast is always the star of the show in these pieces!

Must Haves from More Than Magic

Finally, let’s talk about two trends that you’re going to see on repeat all season long… both in the form of adults but also TWEENS, too! Tie Dye + Fall Florals = standout style where your little women can ensure they are the head of the class in everything they wear and allow them to show off their personality!

Carson gets her love affair of all the jumpsuits + rompers from her mama and this Tie Dye Jumpsuit is one that all the girls are going to want to wear on the regular! At $18, it’s made of super soft, breathable cotton with a hint of spandex. And the tie-waist front accent is just too cute. And of course they have options to layer like this Cropped Chenille Cardigan or Open Front Cardigan for cooler weather coming up!

As for the fall florals, my little boho beauty loves ALL the style of this Skater Ditsy Print Swing Dress… with a sweetheart neckline and flowy silhouette, it’s the eptiome of feminity with beautifyl ruching detail and puff sleeves, too. You can totally dress this up or down for any occasion and will be a seasonal standout that lets her personality shine!
