Love at first sight for any little girl who has a natural affinity for mixing patterns – and don’t they all? The stretchy striped top and full tulle skirt is a mild throwback to vintage Betsy Johnson outfits (and she did make them for older tots). But the floral, glitter, and bow touches are fit for a princess and sweetly infant-appropriate. Finally, great Easter dress that isn’t all pastel. It’s an unexpected look that lets your tot show off a bit of independent style. Which you want to encourage even though original thought seems like a pain in the butt right now! Your payoff will come when she becomes the world’s next literary genius. And you’ll have the most stylish little girl at the Easter egg hunt. At Nordstrom for $26 (infant sizes only).
Pair with: Mini Melissa’s Mary Jane-style jelly, dressed up with a trio of bows, was co-designed by independent style queen Vivienne Westwood.
At Saks Fifth Avenue for $99.
