Two Spring Fashion Trends For Your Lil Ones

I always try to follow the current trends and translate them into wearable items for kids.  If we can be fashionable...so can they!  In fact, most of the time, my lil ones look better than I do!  :)
Here are two trends this spring that you can easily translate to your lil ones.

Color Blocking -

This has been all the rage in the fashion world.  It can be very easily translated to kids.  Here is an adorable color blocked dress from Children's Place.  It comes in different colors.  

You don't have to go out and buy something to color block.  It can be as simple as putting a lime green shirt with a pink short.  Get the kids involved and have them put their two favorite colors together.  So what if it doesn't match!!! Let them be creative in their own fashion.  For those of you who sew...or would like to venture in that direction...here is a GREAT tutorial on how to make a color blocked sundress from Skirt As Top: http://skirtastop.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/sunshine-dress-tutorial/


Pastels-                                               
Custom Tutu Dress

I was so happy when this trend came back in full force.  They are so girlie and spring timish.  Don't be afraid to incorporate this in your lil boys wardrobe as well.  I have quite a few items in pastels in my shop.  Two items from my shop are pictured here.
