As Spring nears, we eagerly prepare for the most colorful festival of the year, Holi. Holi, the spring festival celebrated all throughout the world by Indians is also known as “The Festival of Colors”. It’s a joyous occasion which welcomes spring and brightness in every one’s lives. Huge parties are hosted and parks are filled with people of all ages celebrating the festival of colors. What I love most about Holi is the inclusion of everyone. It celebrates love and life, people from all walks of life, different ages and religions celebrate it. It truly brings everyone together. Now more than ever I believe in educating each other about our differences, celebrating and accepting them.

What we love about these dresses is that they are soft, colorful and effortlessly chic. The touches of traditional work paired with modern colors are a perfect fit for little girls with spunk! As a mom I look for dresses that can be used season after season, wash well and are soft on the skin. These dresses go above and beyond in all these categories and are a total parenting win!

The pop of colors on these dresses make them the perfect Holi outfit.
