Girly Cue

Mellow by Aryn K. Dresses

Young ladies, charm school is now in session.

Lesson No. 1: Dress for success in Mellow by Aryn K. The local line (for dolls ages 2 to 14) strikes a sweet balance between classic and modern with its oh-so-becoming collection of dresses.

Party girls are birthday ready in a puff-sleeved number with tiered pleats. Details like bows and fabric-covered buttons add retro flair to a navy style. Accessorize a cream tunic trimmed in black scalloped lace with Mary Janes and a big smile.

Frock on.
