Holiday Short Sleeve Applique Tee in Firecracker

Holiday Short Sleeve Applique Tee in FirecrackerA firework bursting across twilight navy. Boom. Right across the chest, a firework unspools into the dark in thin red and silver threads, stars popping at the tips of every streak, with the word "firecracker" looping over the burst in easy lowercase cursive. The tee behind it is a deep, dusky twilight navy, trimmed in burgundy at the neck and sleeves like the last warm color in the sky before the show begins. It is built for the kind of evening kids

They prance in tidy rows across a soft cotton-candy ground

the flowers on her clothes echoing the ones in the yard

nowhere in particular to be

the one who colors outside the lines on purpose

and ducks winging overhead

It is a treasure hunt of an outfit

Sunset stripes in rose

it slips effortlessly into a weekend uniform and pairs as happily with a striped tank as with a plain tee

the gathered skirt swinging mid-spin

all sugar-plum dreams and ballet-night wonder

One snowflake

and its pocket
