red white check dress Rayna in Gingham XS fitted body Red Gingham Strawberry Baby Dress

The side slit adds a touch of sass while the lining ensures comfort all night long

To complete the look, I added gold jewelry and black sandals with a block heel and ankle strap..and for a fun accessory, Im carrying my Michelle Obama clutch bag

Perhaps the perfect pairing, the shoes lightened the look without interrupting the elegance of the deep, wintry hue, creating an outfit that felt seasonal, sophisticated and modern, rather than heavy or too expected

Or are the ways we are telling kids they are too old to participate more subtle than being stingy with our Snickers bars

Style it as the model does - with strappy flat sandals and a woven straw bag for a breezy, sun-soaked look that feels both considered and carefree
