Hot Stuff for Cool Girls

The Donuts Dress is a confection that will win raves from tweens who breathe fuchsia and pink. Made by Dirtee Hollywood, it’s crafted from ninety-five percent polyester and five percent spandex so bye bye wrinkles and hello great fit. Donuts’ top ends in pink trim; the dress itself is covered with what else –– depictions of girls’ favorite sugary, round sweet. The Cupcake Dress is similarly styled with the top straps in gray or black and the body design featuring predominately pink and yellow cupcakes.

For a sophisticated take, show the Cube Stars dress that pairs a gray star-sprinkled bodice with a multicolored cube patterned skirt. “Don’t Quit” is writ boldly on the black and white striped top of a dress ending in a pattern of the night sky. “I Love Candy” is printed across the chest of a fleece sweatshirt sized from 7/8 up to an XL 16; it looks cool paired with tights or leggings. Speaking of leggings that no tween can ever have too many of, a pair in cotton, polyester and a touch of spandex sports Spring Flowers in black, pink, purple, gray and other colors in an allover pattern.

Top anything with a fierce cotton sweatshirt with a kangaroo pocket and long sleeves appropriately known as Denim Sky. T-shirts are always winners with tween girls; this company offers Applause in navy and black with three printed figures bearing the “applause” sign; QueenBee for a girl who is ‘out there’ and proud of it; and Pigeon with a cap sleeve and cute bird motif.

“So What?” reads a yellow-and-black striped tank with a slightly cropped bottom, while a pink and red tank proclaims “Selfie”. A white T has the merest hint of a sleeve and a curved bottom hem, but who needs anything more when its message in multicolored letters is “#HAPPY”. “Dance” is the word on a pink and gray T that could top a short skirt or jeans.

These clothes have attitude to spare, as in the line of cool beanies, one with printed electronic motion buttons; another with “INVINCIBLE” on the turn-up and a third with “INSANE” written upside down. Fun and cool, Dirtee Hollywood hails from sunny California where thinking is free and fashions are just slightly nutty in a ultra-cool way.
