JAX + Mimi

I know we JUST introduced you to JAX earlier this week, but we are so excited for you all to meet our newest dress style, Mimi, releasing  on the website Monday 6/24/19 at 7pm CST!

Almost all of our Merce & Me styles are named after family members...and Mimi is no exception! Named after Merce's paternal Great Grandmother Mimi, this dress is sophisticated in a casual sort of way, structured while comfortable, easy to dress up or down, and made of high quality knit to stand the test of time and playing children. This is the perfect dress style to have Mimi's name.

Our absolute favorite part of this dress is the back. That sweet little cut out and tie closure just melts our hearts. And some light smocking in the back helps with fit as she grows!

Red White and Blue is always near and dear to us, so it's just fitting for the debut of Mimi to be full-on RWB!

This little beauty is Merce's cousin, and wearing a size 4 Mimi at approximately 44", 45# with her Hazel socks worn straight up, and red Old Navy clogs.  That amazing bow on her head is a Jack & Jill set from Bugga Boo Boutique.  If you haven't had a Bugga Boo Bow, you are totally missing out....they are like little works of art!

We also love how our Bettie Buttons shorties in Royal and Red perfectly match this Mimi dress, along with our Red Rosie Ruffle shorties and red Ava Ruched Capris! So many options for layering so she can wear all  year, and as a tunic when she hits her summer growth spurt.

This 10 year old gorgeous girl is another one of Merce's cousins and took a different approach to Mimi, showing it's versatility perfectly. She paired with Royal Bettie Buttons shorties, a patriotic necklace from My Little Sugarbug Boutique, one of our white 5" Bestie Bows, and white Chucks with little gold stars. She is approximately 51" and 80# wearing a size 8. Let's take a closer look at the necklace AND this gorgeous girl. Those freckles!! 😍

 Merce absolutely loves the necklaces made by Jennifer at My Little Sugarbug Boutique. She loves the fun bright color combinations, and especially loves the breakaway clasp that she can put on and take off herself.  And there's no shortage of Red White and Blue designs in her Etsy shop, which makes my heart happy!

These girls were SUCH troopers! If you are familiar with Oklahoma at all, you know the wind is two things: always blowing, and unpredictable. We had a bit of both come visit us in this shoot.  Merce might get the award for craziest hair here, but we are loving her choice of our red stripe baseball socks and chucks with her Mimi!  Merce wears a size 10 Mimi at 75#, 54".

Mimi releases Monday, 6/24/19 at 7pm CST along with the debut of our brother line, JAX!  We may be partial, because these are two of our three favorite kiddos on the planet...but we think Mimi and our blue JAX Tattered Flag tee look pretty darn good together.

Meet JAX.

Omgosh. We have been SO busy at Merce & Me! Our products have grown and expanded, we are now available in brick and mortars, an amazing custom Back to School fabric is in production, and we have a new line coming Monday, 6/24/19....JAX.

Jax is one of Merce's older brothers. He's an athletic, intelligent, goofy young man with tactile sensitivities that have limited his wardrobe to Under Armour and similar athletic wear.  So when we say something in our JAX line is soft...that means it's been approved by Jax himself.  We understand not all kiddos have the same sensitivities, but we hope that if it will work for our Jax, it will work for many others out there whether they have sensitivities or not.

Our first product line for JAX is an entire collection of Flag Tees! The first colorway, Blue, will release on Monday 6/24/19 at 7pm CST.
That's 5pm PST
or 8pm EST.

And who better to model our first collection, than the man-child himself?

After putting his hands on many MANY tees, this guy chose a Bella + Canvas tri-blend tee to house our designs. We are super excited to be able to choose a print shop right here in our hometown to allow us to have a complete hands-on experience while supporting local small business!

When it came to the design, Jax was totally opinionated....so was his older brother.....and his father. Several design-fails and rejections later, they all agreed on this one:

We thought this super lightweight, ultra soft tee would be perfect for summer and 4th of July!  And blue is always a win with Jax, it matches his eyes. But don't mention those beautiful peepers to him, he gets all full of tween angst and drama, rolls those baby blues back up into his head and walks away.  He gets that from his father of course.

JAX won't stop with these tees. We have more in the works for Fall and Winter, including items to coordinate with our Merce & Me line! 

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but I'm terrible at keeping my own secrets. If you tell me YOUR secret I'll take it to my grave. But my own? Nope. Can't keep it.  So let me leave you with this....a future JAX release. Yep. That's olive green, otherwise known as OD in our milhouse. It's his favorite, hands down.
