Versatile Valentine’s Options for Your Little Darlings

I really, really love a holiday theme and the outfits and flair that go with it. And let me tell you, Valentine’s Day is one of my favorites! Conversation heart garland draped in my windows, glitter heart sunglasses, and pink and red flowers really give us the pick-me-up needed in February. Spring is right around the corner.

When picking out the perfect outfit and pajamas for an occasion like Valentine’s Day, we like to make sure that it is something your little valentine can wear beyond February 14th. Given how quick kids outgrow their clothes, we want to make sure that you get as much use out of your perfect Valentine’s ensemble as possible.

This classic red and white gingham dress is a great staple that can be paired with a red cardigan and a pink bow for now, and then with navy sandals for the 4th of July, a school bus bow for the first day of school in the fall; or worn alone all summer long. This stunning Sarah Louise dress is a perfect special occasion dress that will transition well into spring and would be beautiful for family pictures or a portrait sitting.

Crazy-soft polos from The Beaufort Bonnet Company (in pink and in white) are easy spring staples and fan favorites in the store. Boys love how comfy they are – and mom’s love how nice they look in them. Our favorite button-down shirt is made by a new brand, Brown Bowen, whose wrinkle-free, easy button shirts are life-changing and come in sizes 4 – 18 (we are happy to order for your older boys) – and we have the matching red gingham bowtie for dad. Monday’s Child can’t celebrate a holiday without something smocked. This sweet red polo from Zuccini Kids will make your fire-truck-loving toddler’s day.

  • The latest from Maura
Born and raised in Alexandria and married to a native Alexandrian as well! We love living in Old Town – just a few blocks from the store – with our three little boys and golden retriever Rumpelstiltzkin. Although my first job and real love was retail (the Lilly Pad where Mint Condition is now), I worked in Public Affairs and PR prior to buying the shop, which has really been a dream come true for me. I feel so grateful to work with our customers to find the perfect outfit for their special childhood moments. When I’m not at the store you can probably find me at an Old Town park chasing the boys or on my yoga mat.

A classic children’s boutique in Old Town, Alexandria for 40 years, we carry special occasion and play clothes for sizes newborn to 12. Located in the historic Crilley Warehouse just two blocks from the water, Monday’s Child is your go-to shop for baby gifts, baptism gowns, holiday dresses and outfits, boy’s blazers and ties, First Communion, shoes, books, toys and much more.
