So there is no denying that summer is officially here!  I am reminded of the hot weather as I feel the warm rays of the sun through the window in our Los Angeles office, and wishing I had an ice cold lemonade and laying out by the pool.  It is that time again, so pull out those tank tops, shorts, and sandals. The best thing about summer is spending quality time outdoors with the family, whether its going on a bike ride, going to a theme park, or enjoying a day at the beach. One of our little models we have for Our Upper School line is all ready for summer as she wears one of our orange tanks and our navy shorts.  Isn’t this pretty much a child’s uniform for summer? What I love about this look is both the simplicity of it and the extra touch, with the stripes and the bias binding on the short.

I think the key for keeping your child in style over the summer is looking for pieces that are simple but that have something else that sets it apart from what others are wearing. I know that as a child I was always a fashionista.  I would wear glitter tops everywhere and jelly shoes with a blinged out rhinestone.  A child of the 90′s!  Kids today though are simpler but they definitely have a lot more style.

Look for summer outfits that are versatile that can be either dressed up or down! Our girl can add a Hoodie for a chilly evening and some Uggs or a cardigan with converse to complete her transition.  But just remember to have fun! kids love summer and being comfortable so don’t over think their wardrobe.  Just make sure they look cute!
