Don’t forget about sunglasses! They’re stylish of course but also very important for protecting little one’s eyes.
For girls, go for the drama, with oversized, heart-shaped frames. Or, get her ones that have shooting stars on the edges. Let your little girl chose a pair that reflects her personality!
