The perfect pint-sized party clothes

The perfect pint-sized party clothes
We have a bunch of special occasions coming up--Father's Day, our favorite sitter's graduation, the grandparents' anniversary. My eyes have been open to some especially special occasion clothes for the kids. You know--something fancy. Without sauce on it.

CMP highlighted the fabulous Kico Kids a while ago, and their new spring/summer line proves to be the perfect place to find special-occasion kiddie couture. They have twirly princess dresses, fabulous bolero jackets, and even a two-in-one flower girl dress (it converts into a cotton shift!), which manage to be sweet, fashion-forward, and timeless, all at the same time. Plus: comfortable, made with kid-friendly (ie, soft and non-itchy) fabrics.
The boys' gear is just as yummy; I'm totally in love with the cotton linen tuxedo yoke long-sleeved shirt and trousers with tuxedo rope piping. 
High-quality fabrics and beautiful, detailed design can come with a higher price, but every once in a while, special occasions provide the excuse to seek out the extra-special. -Lexi
