With the holidays in just a few weeks, our youthful model Charley illustrates just how to do “dress up” the right way. You can’t do any better than velvet to stay stylish and warm when the weather takes a temperature dip. It feels luxurious, and the modern synthetic blends of this fabric are machine washable, which is great for kids on the go during this time of year! This red velvet dress with attached cardigan from Jenny Annie was a terrific find at Goodwill. The color is quite seasonal, but not garish. To make the look party ready I chose a beaded headband with a black flower on it that echoed the floral trim on the dress itself, as just one of the glamorous accessories. But, because she’s quite a stylish girl in her own right, Charley had her own ideas on adding other elements to her festive fashion look. She chose a large sparkly faux diamond ring, and a purple satin purse! Her mom loved that she could use the black flats that were already in Charley’s closet to finish it all off. Sometimes just one spectacular piece like the velvet dress is all you need help make the season as bright as our model!
