On National Barbie Day, we wear pink
Not all Wednesdays do we wear pink. Sorry Regina George, but we’re only sticking to the rule because today is National Barbie Day! Turning the clock back to 1959, Barbie debuted on this very day (March 9) as an 11-inch tall bombshell at the American International Toy Fair in New York. Ever since then, the plastic doll has become a household name. Well-loved for its ability to inspire imagination and creativity in kids of all ages. To commemorate how far Barbie has come, we’re donning our kids in the Mattel doll’s most emblematic shade — sweet pink. In case you’re searching for inspiration, below, we’ve included a few ootd suggestions that’ll guarantee steal hearts.
No Frill, No Chill
A big yes to H&M for bedizening this bubblegum dress with plenty of frills. It is by no means ordinary, the details on it are not the typical ruching. Constructed with multiple small, flower-shaped fabric appliques, the pattern conjures fantastical vibes. Together with the flare bottom silhouette and the peek-through opening at the back, they create a masterpiece like no other.
Oh, Snap
Searching for something pink that won’t ultimately sacrifice your kid’s comfort? This salmon-colored matching set from Gingersnaps is your fail-safe port of call. Made of Cotton Viscose, wearing the fabric is akin to donning silk. But that’s not the main star of the show, the peplum top is. Adorned with ruffles at the side, this set oscillates between home and dinner.
Hoodie Rookie
Going full force pink isn’t the only way to wear this trend. There’s also the more subtle approach of layering your outfit with random pink items. Say, having your child tuck a white shirt and patterned skirt underneath this rosy number by Old Navy. Not only does a zip hoodie offers a touch of edge, but it also protects your child from nasty hauling winds and bitter colds.
Always On Guard
With everyone going to the beach these days, it’s only fair for the kiddies to have a brand new swimsuit. And how timely it is for Barbie to come through with a very pink rashguard set. Your kid can now show her love for the doll by wearing Barbie herself on her sleeve *cough* chest. As for the fit, the swimwear features a zipper opening and tie-knot ribbon on the waist for an exact fit.
Jog With Clogs
These days, casual’s the way to go, which makes why Croc’s Funlab Disney Princess Clogs are such a need. Its comfy rubber soles ensure your child’s feet are well taken care of, be it when strolling around the house or taking walks in the outdoors. Rain or shine, Crocs can endure it all. Your kid will love them even more now that it lights up.
