Last year, The Rock Look for girls was dark, edgy and all about skulls. It was cool to dress kids like adult rock fans, but those days are gone. This year's Rock Princess is a lot more Hannah Montana (thank you very much). So, put the skulls away because rocking girls are getting a little bit glam and lot more girly. Think bling, think fun and funky and think pink! Yes, mix some feminine colors with some traditional rock looks like black clothes, tight jeans, cool shoes and some glam-rock bling and you've got 2007's, much more fun and age-appropriate, Rock Princess Look.
What She'll Need for the Look
Cool Rock Inspired Tees with a Feminine Flare
Crib Rock Couture
Every Rock Princess needs a bounty of cool tees. Look for rock inspired tees that are age appropriate for your child as well as totally cute. Choose tees in bright fun colors or go ultra-girly and choose a bubbly shade of pink. Reproduction rock tees, parody concert tees and tattoo inspired tees will all be big this season. Most importantly, the tees should be comfortable, fun and express her big personality. Layer pieces over one another for a look that has more depth.

Cool Layering Pieces
Zappos.com
Pull those short sleeved tees from your drawer; they don't need to hibernate this winter. Layers are the key to achieving high marks in fashion this season. And, the Rock Princess knows that those layers are meant to be seen so layer a short sleeved tee over a long sleeved shirt, put a cropped shrug over a top, layer your shorts over leggings. Do whatever feels right and looks great.

Skinny Jeans
LimitedToo.com
For this updated, rocking look, torn and baggy jeans look passe. This year, go with a more fitted leg. If she isn't a fan of skinny jeans, go with a classic fit jean. Choose skinny jeans that go just past her ankle, or a cropped pair that hit her either mid-calf or above the ankle.

Skinny Bermuda Shorts or Cropped Pants

Skinny Bermudas and cropped pants look adorable on girls and are great for The Rock Princess Look. When the weather is favorable, wear them with skimmers or ballet flats, as the weather gets colder pair them up with an incredible pair of knee-high boots. This is one winter look that's 100% hot.

Fab Skirts
girls' fashion
Skirts are a must have for every fashionista. For this look, choose a denim shirt with a dark wash that comes a few inches above her knee or get funky with an interesting patterned short skirt. In warmer months, match her skirt up with some cool shoes that do not require socks; once the temperature starts to drop, get her some fun patterned tights or socks for an extra layer of Rock Princess funk!
