This past weekend was a wonderful calm before the storm. We didn’t know that by the wee hours of Monday morning we’d be in full on assault from the stomach flu.
Perhaps impending tummy bug can be cause for extra beautiful faces? Because I’m in love.
I’m pretty picky about my kids style. As much as I can be with 3 boys who have opinions about what they wear, anyway. They don’t always mix and match how I’d choose, so I try to have plenty of basics that are styles I like.
Do you look for quality basics when shopping for kids clothes?
(I’m talking basics from Tea today, so don’t miss the big giveaway below!)
A little while back Tea sent us this one piece romper for my girl River and these long sleeve tees for the boys (my third boy had a shirt but he also had an issue with, you know, cooperating, so he isn’t pictured). These are just a tip of the style iceberg that is the whole of Tea, as they are one of the few brands that I can tell relatives wanting to send a gift, “anything from Tea” and I know I’ll like what they choose.
My boys are the rough and tumble sort, and our Tea clothes always make it to the hand-me-down status. You know that means they are pretty durable, right?
Good quality pieces are the key to making clothes last a season, and I don’t know about you but I need more than 2-3 wears out of my kids’ clothing (which is the amount I get out of cheaper brands/stores these days). I really love to find quality basics for the kids, so that I know their styles will last the current season and beyond.
Here are some fun outfits I put together to give you some style inspiration for your little ones, all picked from the line of Tea’s current offerings. The best part of choosing basic, stylish pieces is that ALL these outfits are interchangeable making for plenty of options for your kiddos!
Boys Basics for Fall/Winter Style
Top / Striped top / Levi’s denim jean jacket / Vest / Elastic waist pants / Ankle booties / Side Pocket Baby Pants / PF Flyers Center Lo
You may notice I didn’t choose any jeans here, but only because 2 of my 3 boys won’t wear jeans. They are all about the elastic waist pants, so I’m REALLY glad Tea has those to offer sensory-sensitive kids like mine! Tea has lots of cute pants and jeans for boys and girls.
Girls Basics for Fall/Winter Style
Party dress / Dress / Party dress / Sweater / Cardigan / Skinny stretch pants / Denim pants / Legging / Ankle booties / Silver ballerina flat / Kickers Fanzine
Of course, I want my own version of these girls options for myself! Again, the mixing and matching of outfits is key for making a few quality pieces go a long way. (pssst… if you sign up for their newsletter – just scroll down to enter your email – you’ll get 10% off your first order!)
So how about some Tea for YOU?

I love for my daughter to look girly without looking frilly — these are great!
I love these clothes and I hadn’t heard of the company, thanks!
I love the simplicity if all of these pieces… Makes it easier (as an OCD mama) to let my Kindergartener solely pic out all her own outfits!
all the dresses are drool worthy, love the wrap ones!
The baby boy Alpine Romper is adorable!
I have a boy and a girl…and I LOVE these clothes! Great choices!

My son doesn’t like jeans, either, so it’s always nice to find cute pants he’ll actually wear!
I’ve had my eye on the blue/green Peli stripe hoodie for a while now. I’m planning for my older son to wear it for our family portraits in January. And I love the hikers stripe romper for my little guy.

Lots of cute stuff. I love the mod stripe tee for my son or my daughter. The juniper wrap dress is one I’m sure my daughter would love.
I like the ski stripe polo for boys, although my son would love the mammoth t-shirt!
cute! love the little girl leggings
Oh, I love all of their stuff and it washes and wears so well! We love the girl dresses especially over leggings!
Love the little romper your girl is in!! I love Tea, they are always my first outfits to reach for.
winter mountain pjs- I love tea!
I love their little girl stuff! My daughter is 5 and so soon will be out of the toddler sizes and I’m hugely disappointed with what many of the retail stores offer in terms of size 5+ clothes. Sequins, sassy/rude lettering, and just way too mature looking for my kindergartener.

I like the baby boy off-road wanderer wardrobe set.
i just got the tea catalog in the mail yesterday! i spent waaaaay too much time drooling over everything and scheming of ways to fill my kids’ closets with their pretties. especially loved the boys separates (my boy liked the husky shirt), the tights, socks and ALL the dresses for my girls AND a pair of shoes for me! (i have tiny feet and can wear kids sizes…) my youngest kept pointing at each page saying, “pretty!” in her sweet two year old way. would love to win this giveaway!
I LOVE Tea Collection! I particularly love that their girls’ stuff isn’t just a sea of pink.
