It’s time again for some serious back-to-school shopping and I’ve got something that should definitely be part of every girl’s wardrobe””the Bitty Bee tee.

Bitty Bee tees were made to inspire confidence in the girls who wear them. Ana Rada George, a mother of three girls and the founder of Bitty Bee, was tired of the “provocative and belly baring shirts”¦often laden with statements that were negative, offensive, derogatory and objectifying our girls.” So in response to mainstream retailers she launched Bitty Bee, t-shirts that empower girls with messages of inspiration and encouragement.

I was sent both the “Most Likely to Succeed” and “Michiko” short-sleeve tees. Both t-shirts are very soft and the artwork is beautiful, but I have to say that although I love the confidence behind “Most Likely to Succeed,” “Michiko” is probably my favorite, as it is Japanese for “child of beautiful knowledge.” How can you not love the sound of that? The t-shirts are a longer length, so I won’t need to worry about telling my girls to pull down their shirts and pull up their pants (something I have to do a lot more than I’d like). I’m definitely going to love having my girls wear their Bitty Bee tees, and I have no doubt they’re going to love them too.

Just as inspiring as the t-shirts are Bitty Bee’s hangtags. Every shirt comes with a hangtag that features a Fabulous Female“”someone Bitty Bee recognizes for her contribution to our world. And Bitty Bee is contributing as well, for a portion of all sales “are given to girls’ organizations and programs that empower our girls, and challenge and develop them as major contributors and leaders of our communities.” I am all for anything that inspires, instills confidence, and improves the lives of our girls.
