Darling Clothing for Little Girls

by Katie Wallace | Updated: August 1, 2016

If you have little girls, you know all about tea parties, twirly dresses, and living room fashion shows. Matilda Jane Clothing makes it easy to embrace the magic of childhood with darling outfits that mix and match. Many styles even grow with your child! Dresses that transform into tops let your little ones wear their favorite pieces longer. My two girls, just 2 and 4, are already swapping clothes, and Matilda Jane makes that so much fun!

Whimsical Patterns and Playful Designs

What I love most about Matilda Jane Clothing are the whimsical, playful patterns. One dress can feature 6 to 8 coordinating prints, yet everything comes together beautifully. Adjustable straps, ties, and button loops allow dresses to grow with your child, and many can be paired with leggings for a completely new look. My girls were overjoyed dressing up in Matilda Jane for a tea party with their WellieWishers American Girl dolls, complete with tiny cakes and afternoon giggles!

Matilda Jane also offers solid-colored dresses that are full of charm, from ruffles and tiered layers to cute bows and ties. Everything coordinates perfectly with matching hair accessories and leggings.

For toddlers, Doodle Pants knit leggings are one of our favorites! They coordinate with Matilda Jane dresses and feature adorable characters on the rear for an extra dose of cuteness.

Afternoon Tea Guests

Every little girl needs a WellieWishers Doll from American Girl, a fuzzy kitten, and a favorite Matilda Jane dress! The WellieWishers collection includes five friends, each with unique outfits and coordinating Wellie boots. WellieWishers make the perfect companions for dress-up, tea parties, or just cozy imaginative play.

Timeless Styles for Every Occasion

Matilda Jane Clothing isn’t just whimsical, it’s timeless. Ruffles, pockets, buttons, and bows let girls embrace their girly side while exploring, twirling, and adventuring. The Fall Collection is filled with favorites like the “Oh Dear” tunic with lavender, aqua, and printed ruffles. Alternately, the “Happily Ever After” skirt has layered tulle and charming mauve pinstripes.

I even treated myself to one of my favorite Matilda Jane dresses. The “Splendid Dress” from the Once Upon a Time collection is a showstopper with bright blues, pinks, and fuchsias in a beautiful floral pattern. I love that Matilda Jane offers styles for moms too, many of which coordinate with little girls’ outfits for twinning moments.

Back to School in Style

Matilda Jane also makes back-to-school fun and stylish. Coordinating backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, and pencil cases feature the same whimsical patterns as the clothing line. This allows little girls to carry a bit of magic with them every day. From soft florals to playful dots in pinks, greens, and aqua, these items are functional, beautiful, and perfect for your darling girl.

Matilda Jane Clothing is a celebration of childhood whimsy, timeless fashion, and high-quality designs. Don’t miss browsing their latest collections to find outfits your little girl will love!

Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldsch Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldschooling!

These tips make traveling with kids ALOT easier!

๐Ÿ“š Schoolwork: Our kids complete lessons in their workbooks several times a week. While traveling, we often bring along Math-U-See workbooks, language arts, and spelling. This keeps our kids moving forward and feeling productive. 

๐Ÿฐ Field trips: We go on excursions to amazing castles, fascinating museums, and interesting cultural centers. We talk about geography and science as we explore amazing places!

๐ŸŽง Downtime: We often have rest time while traveling. We read books or listen to audio books and music. ย 

๐Ÿ’ถ Allowance: We give our kids weekly spending money. They can earn this by doing chores at our Airbnb. I also pay our kids to participate in family photos, often $5 each per city! This results in great attitudes when taking photos in Paris, Rome, or London. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜€

With these tips, our travel life easily becomes regular life, and we get to see amazing destinations and make memories together!

Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But weโ€™ve had to buy some household essentials for our stays. We usually bring our own:

trash bags, cleaning supplies, laundry soap & stain remover, sponges & dish brushes, extra toilet paper, sometimes cute decor! ๐Ÿ˜† 

The reason for this is that Airbnbs are usually not stocked with household supplies. I have my own go-to to favorite products for wiping countertops and doing laundry. 

Additionally, when we travel, we often stay in 5 to 10 Airbnbs, and itโ€™s nice to have our household essentials with us. 

Which household essentials can you not do without while traveling? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿงป
