It’s no secret that I’m gaga over Tea clothing for children. They offer some of the most unique children’s clothes, all while truly keeping kids in mind and making clothes that are comfortable, functional, and I can tell you from experience that they hold up beautifully in the wash, too. The price points are a bit higher than what I usually buy for Darah, but these clothes hold their value, both in terms of overall wear and even in terms of resale value at consignment sales. So I have found that the money is usually quite well spent when it is spent with Tea!

Tea always has swoon-worthy collections of girl’s clothes (and boys!) for every season, and the holidays are no different. Today I’m featuring a few of their pieces from their new arrivals, and they made me literally squeal with delight when I opened my package from Tea.

First up we have the Wildflower Mini Dress in Shadow, a gorgeous shade of purple that looks so beautiful this time of year. It is paired with the Sparkle Stripe Leggings. These are indispensable for toddlers who love to play. I will say that these leggings are quite thin, so they may be better suited for more mild climates or for indoor play. Darah immediately asked to try this on once she saw it. She started undressing right on the spot! 🙂 What I love about this outfit is that it lends itself well to a variety of occasions. It is dressy enough that it can be worn when we are out and about doing something special, and it is also soft and comfortable enough that it makes the perfect choice for a day at school.

The other piece we received is the Que Bonita Wrap Dress. You guys, when I put this on Darah and then told her to go check herself out in the mirror, she gave such a huge grin, turned around to me and said, “Let’s show daddy!” She knew he would love it, and she was right! We emailed a picture to him at work and he emailed us back a picture of him smiling. This is going to be what Darah wears for Thanksgiving and it will also be going with us for our Christmas break in Southern California (she’ll be able to wear it without any stockings there!).

While I know we got some ridiculously cute clothes from Tea, we barely scratched the surface of all their gems. They have an incredible selection of girl’s dresses that look different from what you find in the department stores, and that are comfy enough that your child will want to wear them again and again. They also have great finds for little boys, so be sure to check that out, too!

Win it!: I am so excited to tell you that Tea has generously offered a $100 gift certificate to one lucky Stuff Parents Need reader! YESSSSSS!!!!
