C'mon, cooler weather! Mama needs a new pair of children's dresses.
When I lived in the frozen north, my favorite part of warmer weather was definitely the bright colors and flounces of my daughter's spring wardrobe. But that was before I discovered Kit + Lili and realized that all that vibrancy can be a winter staple too.

These colorful, bold-print long-sleeved dresses come by way of two Brooklyn moms who've made a name for themselves designing the modern, adorable clothes that the trendy moms go nuts for.

The always wonderful boutique Moxie Kids has a great assortment of Kit + Lili in sizes 2-8, but good luck choosing just one that your girl's gotta have. As for me, I'm still here languishing in the warm fall temperatures in Georgia, jonesing for the air to grow crisp and wishing for all little girls to pull on the tights and one of these fabulous frocks.

See? They're so much fun, I'm reduced to using words like frock. -Mir

Congratulations to Heather S, winner of a Kit + Lili dress!
