![Back To School event](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGBedtANAVJuBdHXYvjpapq7GiCrobF7qriBbvEp-6oymDGTnRA90ully-poIJ4Q2A6dSfZaGccHGbvJoKr86LqHtGPG8yWxDxNJPwTIRLOQrlwzNd0ZwHwwg-8Y5pmYD3oYT3QbPVYl0/s320/bts+banner.jpg)
With a new school year upon us, I have been doing what parents everywhere have done for years: go through their kids' closets to assess their clothing situation.
Big Sister E seems to grow taller by the minute and I feel like I'm continually moving things from her room straight into her younger sister's so that she isn't wearing shirts that are too short or pants that are too tight. Plus, with Little Sister B heading off for her first introduction to preschool this fall, I want to be sure that her wardrobe has pieces that will provide comfort as well as style. A girl's gotta look good, right?
Fortunately, there isn't even a second thought for me to know where to turn to find the perfect combination of high quality, fashion, and utterly unique in the best way possible clothing: Tea Collection.
![Tea Collection logo](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdHlkFJfIaOSHawXfitSbumbt9YYaMLMStryGiPlAkMajZNE3srdIjgXs3h3_8lOO4E8313aCYgrw6mZDZvOz1W1VNPEQk6hSOAXUbPwAf9cB_gf2lsfY0XPKeTJPcJJbeYkCS5gB5B1o/s400/Tea+Collection+logo.jpg)
As Tea bases their clothing off of the beauty that they discover from traveling and experiencing cultures from across the globe, the end products are are not only distinctive and beautiful, but can fit right into the lifestyle of the "little citizens of the world" for which they are designed.
With their newest line inspired by Modern Mexico, I couldn't help but be inspired by the bold colors and great graphic prints adorning every page of the Tea Collection catalog that appeared in my mailbox.
![Tea Collection catalog](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPh8Na6O7oorsieOOpzZlg9KbxaxSJ3VzT4cA7YVwK9lUKIYP5D_UD-7gwbrUD72BsXEdVNWAadZFH8KK6WQiypihNHYXXXTy-56XspBfC2wxk9miTsJU3PMDeZFh6fSFsMpglWR6QNJI/s400/Tea+Collection+catalog.jpg)
One of the features of Tea clothing that I have always loved is the versatility and the way that it offers mix-and-match possibilities that can easily go from playdate to dinner out without any problem.
So of course I knew that it would be perfect for Big Sister E and Little Sister B to head off to school... and, when a selection of items (ordered prior to all of the new Modern Mexico items being added to the site - darn!) for the two of them arrived, I knew I was right.
![children's clothing](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg8EruIZqJ8xU61-ivt7T1UZy8ft_hihrwMYJ70VCXzHRYBzx_PIS_drpAgm3KP36Jx78nyNSFMZ1iHY4ahjWwGX6JlstBF0a0dN_crYFFf9vb9PkhNKhtsAmmz6C87WsbHFhdAls_GGE/s400/children%2527s+clothing.jpg)
First up was Little Sister B and the Flamenco Dot Drop-Waist Dress, Skinny Stretch Leggings, and Etched Print Ruffle Top (no longer available as a top but still available as a dress in very small sizes).
![girl's clothing](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGNYKXDL2xnVYYnRXksusb87eJDd2gpfirqHZljykLN-7Myi_gzbvoaho76SUBSTXANzc2kbvyJlTOK9uIA37dqh28pl8pefwa7XLLrN0aYOtvN2nwWi6gkbQVsttDFjVKEVynsJXvafo/s400/girl%2527s+clothing.jpg)
Little Sister B has worn the pieces together...
...as well as mixed with other items that she already owned and each time Tea has completed the look. And we've received compliment after compliment on just how adorable that look is!
![girls dress](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz59exMRU2dQgJxqGRYEPxpnEzvZZK46miB6yEkcaiKjro_xvaf2Eg7gc-LEWegWR4ob2OyhB3vBOk7cBcCBd4ClmFfEraJSvT-lhZZ0fl4nUyVY9NSX0pPrcP52f_fj3FKEVq6ZAsaQU/s400/girl%2527s+dress.jpg)
I made sure to order Big Sister E's clothes slightly larger than she currently wears to ensure that she would be able to wear them all year and was happy to find that even though they are slightly loose or long, they are still incredibly cute.
Whether she is matching pieces together and going for a more casual look...
![back to school clothes](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia19An9pD_O3pU5skYZvLLrg6xuLJchCMrLgUQbnZCrEd6HDTWUwe2iLUqVJ_rZFG5o-XKSNLRUwHVQjuOdeFcESChQNOywBrP1dAgBRrZsfVwgbf9Vzebf0GBFM3WOp9ZE5iMujUZIho/s400/girl%2527s+clothes.jpg)
...she has told me multiple times how much she loves her new clothes. Each piece (as well as all of Little Sister B's) have been washed and worn and the 100% cotton always remains extremely soft. As with any of our prior Tea apparel, they all come out of the dryer looking just as new as the day they arrived!
We've been able to use these clothes in the warmer weather days as summer comes to an end but I also know that the girls will be able to put on a long sleeve shirt underneath, a sweater on top, or their great leggings on and be ready for fall. The versatility and the cuteness just can't be beat!
![sister hug](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFVx52UCTZCle17pJ1WlJlFmN_GYoRGbWobq38dAiLmS4Jj_8AUI9WX9In4WFp_huKCgPEh8j855KZ-xueK7FeU23jYUGlwypT2va9EwQAHljRKwLfcX1kO5r0a4A07JHqcV51QiEqIpw/s400/sisters.jpg)
