Zaara's Closet

How cute is the Kate Mack tutu skirted swimsuit (US$43.2 in Britchin’ Post for sizes 2T, 3T, 4T)? Of course you could pay only USD16.84 for the Old Navy tutu polka dot swimsuit for a similar visual effect. Or you could spend even less and get the bursting bubble pink tutu from Old Navy (US$6 for sizes 6m to 4T). Only remember, you get what you pay for. I bought this last year in yellow for Zaara and the color turned muddy after a few washes. But hey, if she can wear something that costs only US$6 four times, that’s not so bad, is it? But there’s no beating Kate Mack when it comes to tutu swimsuits. Just too cute!

There was a time when I steered clear of black outfits for Zaara. But I have bought a few and found that she can totally work the color (although I would still not put a black dress on anyone younger than 4). But black interspersed with other colors (especially white) is fine and so cool. Dutch brand Claesens, with their typical clean lines, excels at it. I love their Black Heart Zipper Dress (US$23.8 for sizes 2-14 at Britchin’ Post). I wouldn’t mind one for myself ! Also love the polka dots and stripes Sporty Tankini with hot pink details and criss-cross straps (US$27.3). Maybe I am too conservative, but I much prefer tanikinis to bikinis.
