Persnickety Fall Favorites – Gorgeous Girl Clothes

Not many trendy kids clothes designers can put together fashion spreads that are both gorgeous for toddlers and pre-teens alike. However, Persnickety always wows us each season! Their fashions are both whimsical and gorgeous, and they compliment any princess who wear them, whether they are two or twelve. Here are our favorite pre-orders for the back-to-school season.

A Little Touch of Yellow

Yellow is typically a spring color, but paired with the right fashions, yellow makes a gorgeous fall hue too. We love how Persnickety combines a soft yellow and grey hue together in the Persnickety October Sky Edith Jacket . It is such a unique and classy look, and who can resist those three big bows?! It looks gorgeous paired with the Persnickety October Sky Grey/Yellow Lily Skirt or the Persnickety October Sky Grey Double Ruffle Grey Pants. Two different looks and both are equally gorgeous! The Edith Jacket is available in sizes 2-12. Can you imagine your sweet toddler with these gorgeous oversized bows – way too cute to pass up!

And of course you cannot forget to preorder the Persnickety October Sky Yellow Scarf which features that same gorgeous yellow lace pattern over the soft grey fabric. Your princess will look totally chic pairing this scarf over a basic top. We won’t tell her if you borrow it from time to time.

Trendy Girl Shirts

The right top can go with anything. So while we love trendy pieces, we also love classic pieces that can be worn with many other styles. The Persnickety October Sky Cream Play Date Top is one style that virtually matches anything in your princess’ closet. It is a pretty cream long-sleeved top with grey striped ruffles at the hem. Dress it down with jeans or dress it up with a cute skirt or ruffle pants. Available in sizes 3-10.

We have seen the high-low fashion trend all summer long in skirts and dresses. Persnickety takes the same cute look and applies it to a sweatshirt. A sweatshirt as cute as the Persnickety October Sky Grey High Low Sweatshirt shouldn’t even be considered a “sweatshirt”! It is comfy yet highly fashionable. You can be sure your princess will want to wear it all winter long because it is so cozy! Available in sizes 2-12.

Want to add a little flair to any long sleeved shirt? This season, Persnickety has designed Persnickety Autumn Splendor Cream Cuffs . These gorgeous cuffs are ruffled lace goodness that will make any long-sleeved top look fancier. The size ranges are flexible, so you can use these cuffs for 2-3 years!

Skirts with Style

Add a dash of fall color into your little girl’s wardrobe with the gorgeous Persnickety Autumn Splendor Hattie Skirt With Polka Dot Sash. This skirt is bright with its multi-color rose print. It will look darling paired with a denim jacket and brown suede boots. We love how the polka dot sash adds a fun flair. Available in sizes 2T to girl’s size 10.

Another skirt we love is the Persnickety Autumn Splendor Multi Color/Print Paige Skirt. For younger girls, we love mixing up this patterned skirt with other fun patterns for a whimsical look. For older girls, this skirt looks stunning when paired with a black top. It is a great staple piece this fall since it can be coordinated with several different top and tights fashions. Available in sizes 2-12.

Designer Girl Dresses the Wow

We can’t mention all of Persnickety’s adorable girl fashions without their drool-worthy dresses for girls. Their top boutique styles are truly unique and fashionable. The Persnickety October Sky Yellow w/ Grey Stripe Swiss Dress is one favorite pick for the autumn. The yellow and grey print is beautiful, and it looks amazing paired with the grey and white striped belt, collar, and sleeves. Available in sizes 6-10.

The Persnickety Autumn Splendor Pink Tea Party Dress is another back-to-school fashion win. It features soft and girly colors and a modest cut. It is a great choice for school or Sunday morning. Older girls can wear it without leggings, while younger girls can enjoy a more fun look by adding the Persnickety Autumn Splendor Pink/Brown Stripe Triple Ruffle Legging. Available in sizes 2-12.

Back-to-school shopping is in full force. All of our gorgeous Persnickety fashions are shipping at the end of July, with a few fashions shipping out mid-August. Get these beautiful girl fashions at your doorstep before the back-to-school rush begins.

We carry them in sizes 4T to 4 youth, so if you are a mama with smaller feet, you may just be able to wear these sweet boots (typically, a woman’s size 6 is a girl’s size 4, though sizing may run smaller around the ankles – so be sure to check our sizing chart first).

P.s. You can also get these darling boots in burgundy too – Livie & Luca Burgundy Patent Floret Boot. And yes, it is totally acceptable and necessary to have them in both colors *wink*.

Livie & Luca Mint Pio Pio Mary Janes

These Livie & Luca Mint Pio Pio Mary Janes are a conversation starter with their gorgeous sparkly bird decal. The Mary Jane style mixed with the sweet bird are the perfect combo for spring and summer. These shoes are fancy enough to wear to special occasions or church, but they can also look great with casual outfits too, such as a fun tee and a pair of jeans. The best part about these shoes is that there are 4 different color combos to choose from!

These are available in sizes 4T to 4Y.

Cute girl shoe fashions and helping those in need – what can be better. As much fun as it is to fill our daughter’s wardrobes with stunning designer clothes and accessories, it feels amazing to buy from designers that give back to those in need.

Girls’ Summer Shoe Profile

Summer is here and it’s time for some fresh toe-baring fashions.  Breathable shoes are essential in hot weather, and this season there are plenty of trends that look great and are breathable and comfortable.  Don’t forget your pedicure!

1. Thongs.  That don’t flip or flop.  Like these sparkling sandals from Coastal Projections. An ankle strap gives added support, prevents flopping and dresses up the barest of footwear for a nice-looking sandal that looks great with dresses and capris.

2. Squeakers. Toddlers love the noise they make while learning to walk…and run! These cute flower sandals from Pickle have removable, interchangeable flowers and give a little squeak each time she steps down.

3. Metallics. Silver and gold, along with iridescents are the perfect match-everything without being plain white. Not only do they go with all her dresses and outfits, metallics stand out and can go from casual to dressy, day or night. This pair from Lemon Loves Lime is a cork footbed, thong style with a cute embellished seahorse on the top.

4. Sporty. Not mary janes, not sneakers. Often called skimmers, mary janes, ballerinas or sneakers, these breathable, canvas shoes are perfect to wear with pants and shorts in warm weather. The lightweight uppers breathe, and they can go in the wash. Wear with or without socks, for a comfortable, sporty step. Shown here: Deux par Deux Red Lipstick Ballerina Shoes.

5. Flip flops. Okay, they’re the staple, right? Wear to the pool, the beach, the grocery store. Flip flops maintain their popularity because they are just so darn easy to wear. Take ’em off, put ’em on. Comes in 1001 colors. But why settle for plain? These cute flip flops from L’amour Shoes have a very slight wedge heel, patent straps and a pretty flower and come in plenty of colors. Also available from L’amour: a dressier version of the patent flip flop sandal with a satin bow and stitched leather sole. Looks nice!

6. Flowers. Sweet, dainty, pretty flowers. Like these simple sandals from L’amour. Velcro straps and simple one-strap-vamp design are classic; the petals and rhinestones are modern. Plus they are pretty enough to wear to a wedding or garden party. Like everything L’amour makes, they come in plenty of colors, including the traditional summer white.

7. Super-highs. Like these airbrushed sneakers from Penelope Wildberry for Ooh! La, la! Couture. All the airy comfort of a canvas sneaker, with a bit of extra style. Plus these ultra-high-tops have zippers on the inside for easy on and off. Whew! And they look great with skirts and shorts. She’s guaranteed a few stares and compliments with these unique kicks.

8. Ballet flats. And not just any flats, either. Plain is so…plain! How about some shine? Or flowers for your twinkle toes? Today’s ballet flats come in all the soft colors you’d expect, like baby pink and white, but they also look fantastic in metallics or decorated with sequins and flowers. Going to a wedding? How about some pink sequined flats from Coastal Projections or a pair like these pretty gold Pazitos on the left? She’ll like how easy they are to wear and to match to her wardrobe. She doesn’t even have to tie them.

No matter which style she likes best, you can get this season’s best girl’s shoe trends at EverythingButThePrincess.com.
