More bathing suits for little girls that are big on style, not skin
I'm so happy to know that our recent post on appropriate swimsuits for little girls was so well-received! Also glad to know it's not just us that's thinking our girls can still be girls for a good while longer--there's plenty of time later for those teeny bikinis (gulp). So here's another adorable option for you, which I fell in love with when I saw it on my niece this past weekend. Thanks to my sister-in-law, I'm so happy to have discovered this boy short tankini for girls at Garnet-Hill. I could not stop shrieking about how cute her 5 year-old daughter looked in the fun, 1940s-style with nautical navy and white stripes. I'm less crazy about the colorful version, because it seems to kill the whole retro vibe that works perfectly with the other fabric.

It's not only made with UPF 50+ fabric, it's on sale right now for $39 down from $54. Grab it now--I imagine you'll get a few summers out of this one. -Liz

Find the boy short tankini for girls at Garnet Hill in sizes 4-12, on sale right now!
