You literally never have to grow up, especially not when fashion has your back. The new Care Bears x Unique Vintage collaboration proves just that. (Offered in sizes 2 to 26.) Unique Vintage merged its retro style with everyone's favorite childhood stuffed bear to create a nostalgic, yet surprisingly grownup capsule collection. One would never suspect a line starring pastel bears would translate into an adult closet, but it definitely can be done.
The vintage-inspired collection has 10 pieces that span across apparel and accessories. "Our UV girl loves a nostalgic moment and the Care Bears x Unique Vintage collection really embodies the colorful, fun nature of the Unique Vintage brand. Even more, as a brand that embraces inclusivity and diversity, we felt like Care Bears was a great match for us," Katie Echeverry, CEO and Founder, Unique Vintage, tells Bustle.
Walking down the street with a Care Bears tin lunchbox as a purse definitely spells out fun. The entire collection is playful and eccentric, and will make you miss your old grade school days.
Warning: after you buy one of these Care Bears outfits, you might start immediately wishing you had a sticker book and Lunchable boxes surrounding you. It will be hard not to want to be a kid again with this fun line. Check out some of the options below.
Funshine Bear Print Darcy Swing Dress
This dress is an ode to the yellow Funshine Bear, who has a sun on his belly and can light up a room with its light.

This swing dress has a blue skirt and yellow bodice, which is "lit up" by the Care Bear in the motif.

Can't Bear It Tee
This tee spotlights everyone's favorite grouch, Grumpy Bear. On the tee, he's standing on a cloud while sullenly drinking his coffee, ignoring the happy sun shining behind him.
