Urban Kid Closet – April 25th, 2013

What is this weather doing, April? I honestly don’t know, with these super-chilly mornings, and windy afternoons… it’s hard to know how to dress.
As I say the word dress, this child’s ears prick up, and she is DESPERATE to wear some of the more summery items I bought a few weeks ago (I really should have kept them hidden) but for this fickle weather, this one works.
This was a Zara online purchase, and sadly, not on sale (Boo!!) but the colour is really flattering on this kid, and I love the crochet applique on the front of this simple short-sleeved A-line dress. It’s lightweight cotton and machine washable – I’m not even going to iron it, ever. And I dig the electric purple and blue stripes in her tights paired with this more muted army green… and it’s a DRESS, so she’s perfectly pleased and all twirly about it.
Also? That faux-leather jacket I picked up for her in the fall DOES still fit, and is looking pretty boss this spring. I dare say, it may still fit come back-to-school time this September. That’s a pretty nifty bargain… which makes the full-price dress feel like less of a failure. 🙂
Yay!
