Present Picks for Ages 13+

I love a good shopping spree for teens! You can shop vicariously through them and dive into bright colors that normally you wouldn't even think about checking out. Spring is here, and that means you can grab up lots of multicolored prints and patterns in fun feminine styles without missing a beat. If you are trying to stick to a budget, look for simple tank tops or waistcoats that can easily be layered, and you can cajole even the most finicky of teen to wear these tops often and save even more.

(Rock and Roll Print Scoop Tees)
This high-quality top is a steal a way under $20! Head to Espirit's outlet shop where you can find outrageous savings with brand-name durability. A lot of teen tees are pretty flimsy and can fall apart in the wash, but these ones will stand up to regular wearing. Also available in pink and grey.

(Stretch Denim Vest and Delias Cassie Top)
I adore this combination! If whoever I was shopping with could stand it, I would buy a matching one. Now this is one "Juniors" look that is great for adults as well. A trim little dark waistcoat is a nice way to cover up a floral tank just a little to make you look a little more professional for a casual work environment. That large floral print is a great match with a more utilitarian fabric.

(Swirl Soutache Top)
What an interesting top at just over $20. A wide top band at the lower hip is slimming for those of us who might have a slight tummy bump and need something that glide over our torso. Besides that helpful design detail, don't forget that all eyes will be glued onto your upper half with that dramatic black braid detail.

(Wet Seal I Hate Inside Out Top (right) )
This funky top is right for that attitude-filled teen who just can't get enough of logo and saying-emblazoned tops complete with a touch of "personality." The top on the left-hand side shows just how a shirt like this can be styled for young and fresh appeal. Embrace a more lighthearted approach!
