Here on our island we don’t have much in the way of affordable clothes for tweens and teens. So when my girls are craving something new, it means an expensive trip to the big island or (GASP) the MAINLAND. I do my best to divert their attention to the smaller shops, encouraging them to support our neighbours and small community. But when that fails, I have found my saving grace in an online store.
Stylecrush is a store that offers online shopping for tweens and women, based in Toronto that sells gently used clothing for girls and women. The prices are more than reasonable, even with shipping. So I let my girls loose and the items they found pleased them AND my wallet. I even picked up a couple things for myself!
They chose items they could wear to school or out and about on island. I was pleased with the quality items that had little to no wear, and I know my girls will get tons of use out of them. The girls even picked out a few items for ME that turned out to be pretty awesome! The site was easy to navigate, so easy in fact that my kids could “shop alone”.
What makes me feel even better about it though is that we are continuing to support the concept of Reduce, reuse and recycle. By showing my kids that they can find high quality, “previously loved” items, it opens their mind to not always buying “new”, and to finding higher quality items that will stand the test of time (and make it through a season on the farm) We ended up purchasing a dozen items for $100…
Both girls got items they are already loving and wearing (this sweater has been worn the last three days!)
Our order was easy to do online, and the kids FILLED the shopping cart. I did have to “trim the list” down a little bit, but was pretty thrilled that they found so many items in their sizes and styles! The fact that they could sit together, look at all the options and collect the things they loved, all while hanging out in our living room was awesome!

Affordable Clothes for Tweens
As a parent it is also nice to give my kids the chance to feel some independence and explore their own style without “mom” looking over their shoulder,
By understanding the budget that was given to them, they were able to make smart consumer choices, and that is learning that will last a lifetime!
So, we avoided an expensive and time-consuming trip off island, AND the girls were able to get kitted up for the holidays with an assortment of fancy dress, sports wear and play clothes, ALL for $100! And if you ask me, THAT is affordable clothes for tweens ad exactly what we are looking for! This meant we had more time to spend together, OUT of the shopping malls (and without causing the credit card to sweat) and more funds to spend on doing some fun activities together (and looking good while we do them)
