Stylish mom and creator Molly Mellon shares how her beachy chic style inspires daughter Birdie’s wardrobe, from must have Meems sets to sun ready accessories. Read on for her tips!

As a stylish mom, how does your personal style influence how you dress your daughter?
We’re getting into the stage where Birdie is styling herself (LOL), but it’s sweet to see how certain things I wear have inspired her. She’s always asking to wear my bracelets, hats, purses and necklaces. If I choose a dress for the day, she’ll run to her closet to find a dress for herself.
We both opt for comfortable, breezy pieces that fit into our active, beachy lifestyle.

What’s one must-have clothing item every child needs in their summer wardrobe?
A good hat! Or several.
-
What are your favorite summer pieces from Meems, and how would you style them for Birdie?
I’m loving this Indigo short set. Sets are such an easy way to dress a toddler, and I love that you can mix and match tops + bottoms with other pieces you already have!
-
What are some must have accessories for summer and what are your favorites from Meems?
Birdie and I are loving shell accessories - anklets, clips, etc.
We also always have a pair of sunnies on hand, for style & for our blue sky beach days. Loving the Fashion Tortoise Sunglasses.

How do you keep holiday outfits festive but still comfy and practical for a day full of BBQs, holiday fun, and summer parties?
I try to always check the weather, and bring layers + lots of extra options in the car! Instead of worrying about her getting something wet or messy, we just keep a change of clothes on hand.

Embossed Emoji Terry Poncho
UPF 50+ Double Ruffle Sun Hat
