Colourful kid’s clothes!

Can you tell what colours suit your child? Have you ever noticed how certain outfits look really wow on them and how particular colours make them look much happier and healthier? Do certain clothes become firm favourites and people  always comment on them? That’s probably because your child is wearing clothes  that match their skin tone.

I had a colour analysis done about 10 years ago. My mother took 2 photos of me wearing 2 different coloured scarves. In one of the photos I looked really ill and in the other I looked like I had just come back from a sunny holiday! The power that colour can have over how we look is astounding. I have definately changed my wardrobe over the years since having my colours done. It has had a real impact on my buying choices and how I look. I  feel more confident, feel much healthier and get far more positive comments about the clothes I wear.

I can certainly see when kid’s try on Raspberry Red clothes certain colours just lift a child and some colours do nothing for them. Some parents find it hard though to know what colours suit their children, especially when a child has strong views about what colours they want to wear, and want to wear the colour all the time! Girls and pink sound familiar! Chances are if you’ve had your colours done, your child’s will be the same as yours.

Pick the right colours for kids and you can get far more value for money out of their  clothes. Your kid’s will be happier, positive  comments boost confidence  and you will want to put them in the clothes more often! It will also make it much easier to buy clothes!

Spend more.. get more

When I first started buying clothes for my daughters I wanted to pay the least amount possible for gorgeous looking clothes! There were certain brands which in the early days I wouldn’t pay full price for, I would wait for the sales. However now having tried some of them there are certain brands I would definitely pay full price for, as they offer real value for money!  These brands are fantastic quality, wash well, still look good enough to pass on to a sibling and have that something about them that makes them favourites and always gets comments.

Some brands have designed a functional style which they update each year in different colours and patterns.

Some of my favourites include:

Phister & Philina summer dresses which kids can carry on wearing through the winter with a long sleeve top and trousers, tights or leggings underneath. The dress is wide with elasticated arms, so has the growth space to become a great tunic as your child gets older. I have one that has now been used for 3 years winter & summer! I am delighted to say Raspberry Red are now selling Phister & Philina clothes and this dress pictured is now available from Raspberry Red.

Some other favourites include Mini a Ture summer t-shirts, fantastic thick quality cotton, which because of the thickness can be worn in the winter with a long sleeved top underneath. Katvig A-line dresses.

Comfy clothes….comfy dresses….

At home with my daughters we have comfy days when we wear comfy clothes! Nowadays my girls like to wear comfy clothes all the time. These dresses from Keedo are favourites. If they get  to choose what they want to wear, it will be a Keedo dress. Made from jersey cotton, and loose fitting they are comfy enough to wear to the park, yet they look pretty enough to wear to a party.

These Keedo dresses in very cherry, flamingo pink, irish blue, blackberry,wildberry and teal are available at sale price at the moment online www.raspberryred.co.uk
