If there’s any secret to a well-dressed babe, it’s a well-organized mama. I find myself planning so far ahead, buying clothes out of season so that they’ll arrive on time or buying items at the end of the season for the following year in order to stay on top of festivities and holidays. I already purchased this $18 bow-shouldered dress for her for the Fourth, and she’ll wear it with a big navy bow and her water-friendly Salt Water sandals.
For the days around the fourth, I took hearty advantage of Jacadi’s red collection this season; I was especially drawn to cherry print goodies like this pair of sneakers, which I can’t wait for her to grow into. (I have it on good authority from a longtime Magpie reader that Jacadi’s sneakers are the absolute best-made ones you can find for a new walker — they hold up in the wash, come in great colors, and apparently sell out quickly. I like these in gray and these in either color.)
If you’re looking for something subtler for the occasion (not over-the-top red-white-and-blue), I love this or this.
And if you want to go all out in traditional smocked glory, look no further than this for your baby girl — I’ve purchased from this store before and have been extremely impressed with the quality — and this for your baby boy.

P.P.S. I’m dying to buy mini one of these. She loves to load up her v-tech walker with toys and dolls, but they always fall off, which ends in tears. Problem solved.

Darling suggestions, as always!
Thank you! So fun to dress babes 🙂
Dying over this perfection. About SWS— not great for chunky feet! Also— so happy you are putting the little pictures to go with the item description like you used to!! SO SO helpful.
Yay! Good to know about the photos — thanks for the feedback! xo
Omg that Zara dress. I love.
I’m going to have to check out those Jacadi sneakers. So many baby shoes for new walkers are so unattractive, and while I know it’s most important for her to have good foot/arch support…..still.
Do you like the Salt Water Sandals? I’m still a little hesitant – wondering about the buckle and whether the baby will stay still long enough for me to get the shoes on (probably not).
Yes, exactly — the cherry print ones I got in particular offer a lot of support, and are so, so cute, too. A little spend-y, though.
I do like the SWS, and mini has kept them on her feet while in stroller/held quite easily. My only bugaboo with them is that the leather material is a bit stiff and I have been worried it will cut into her skin. (It hasn’t, but it doesn’t look comfortable.) xoxo
