Print Gathered Romper in Thistle Ice Cream Truck

Print Gathered Romper in Thistle Ice Cream TruckDing ding, here comes the ice cream truck. Ding, ding, here comes the ice cream truck. A soft lavender ground is alive with the sweetest summer scene: retro trucks rolling by, swirly soft serve cones, sprinkled sundaes, and cherry topped popsicles galore. It is the print equivalent of a warm afternoon and a dripping cone, the kind of fun that gets a squeal of delight. The ruffled, smocked neckline keeps it sweet up top while the bubble hem leaves

It is the print that earns a grin at the breakfast table and a giggle at bedtime

the deep almost-black that hides every smudge of a well-played day and pairs with anything in the drawer

This is the gentlest print in the bunch

all set against the palest sky-blue

the drawstring ties off the rest

Tiny silver pins on smoky charcoal

their tail feathers fanned out in cheerful bands of mustard

Run a hand across it once and you understand the whole appeal

the powder-blue sleeves bright as a winter sky above the water

some scattered with little dots

the open scoop back keeps her cool through the longest rehearsal

and the ice cream truck without slowing down
