Day 166: Gypsy Gem

Fine embroidery is always too hard to pass up. My summer gypsy was hard to pin down for a photo as she wanted to move every which way and pick everything up within a five-foot radius. Uniqueness should be something to strive for and finding unusual clothes to dress her in makes that much easier. The shoes are out of the norm in that most stores wouldn't sell them. They look like something one would find by searching in the places others are not willing to go to, whether that be a thrift store, or yard sale, or a vendor on the street. The dress is from a yard sale and the shoes have been discussed before in 108: Sunset Safari.

New day, new shoes. 

Day 165: Firey Flamenco

I swear this child will become a dancer when she gets older. For every song, genre, and beat, she has a unique style to match. What could be more fitting than flamenca shoes for the little dancer. They were such a lucky find at Goodwill, especially since they were just her size (in children's European sizing to boot). They are actually from Spain, so it's fun to imagine how they came to be in my local Goodwill. Other than an authentic flamenca costume, I can't imagine a better shirt for these heels. The ruffles, the polka dots, and the red roses have the kind of flare these shoes were made to be paired with. To tie it all up, she is wearing her hair in a high ponytail. The shirt and leggings ate both from yard sales.

We all need a little fire in our lives. 

Day 164: Snow White's Successor

I've had this outfit planned for about 5 months, but never got around to actually executing it. Each aspect was carefully chosen based on details from the story of Snow White. The poison apple is fairly obvious, as well as the color scheme of red, blue, and yellow, and the red bow in the hair. However, the earrings were more subtle in that they portray the hours of the day in which people sleep, and considering the apple caused the princess to fall into a sleep-like state, it seemed fitting. I even have red lipstick on to match her description of lips as red as a rose. This entire outfit was inspired by the movie and is a modern take on the Disney princess. My shirt and shoes and earrings are from yard sales, the jacket and capris from Ross and the necklace and ribbon were gifts. 

Shirt:$. 50

Jacket:$7.20

Capris:$7.80

Shoes :$ 1

Make your own dreams come true. 

Day 163: Biking in Beauty

The bike planter was a gorgeous Ross find. The spot wear the pot goes has a bunch of colorful, realistic birds sitting in foliage. I tried to tell her not to sit on the seat, because I didn't want her bending it, but she sat down anyway and slid back. She wound up sitting in the flower pot, though luckily only one flower didn't make it. This girl is all set for spring as this entire scene screams so evidently.  Every time I see these socks, I'm immediately reminded of Tinker Bell. She sure has the mischievous tendencies to go along with such a character. However, to those she cares for, she is forever loyal and loving and sweet, if not a bit of a troublemaker. The whole outfit is from various garage sales.

In order to like yourself, you must first learn to love yourself. 

Day 162: Fruity Freedom

A lovely little girl deserves to wear fruit in all its sweet glory. It is delicious and healthy and so colorful. If fruit is sensationalized rather than junk food, then children will be more likely to make healthy decisions. Of course, such an awesome skirt was made by gymboree, which is an amazing designer of kids clothing. I can spot gymboree clothing from a mile away, as it has a unique feeling to it. A plain yellow shirt to match the bananas and strappy white sandals add brightness and a sense of warmth, perfect for spring. An outfit looks even better when it matches a person's personality and the cheeriness sure is a great fit. Her shirt and skirt are from yard sales and the sandals are from Ross.

The female gender occupies the same amount of space as the other half of our population. If only people would stop disregarding that little fact...

Day 161: Daring Demeanor

These shoes are back again so soon, but I figured if they are what's best for the outfit, then they are what should be in the photos. The dress is a fit and flare, which is great to accentuate the waist without needing a belt. A belt could be used, if so desired, to break up the repeating pattern of the dress, but since the dress is short, there isn't enough fabric to really warrant the use of a belt. I got my jewelry at the same yard sale and despite one having pearls and the other rhinestones, they just seem to fit. I easily could have taken a less fancy route with the jewelry, but the juxtaposition was worth the intrigue. I just got the dress and the shoes at Ross. 

Dress: $ 3.17

All for love and love for all.

Day 160: Simple Sailor

In all this time I've been blogging, I couldn't believe I hadn't used this Betsey Johnson necklace in a post yet. My new seaworthy shirt was an apt candidate to use for the occasion. A bright blue and gold belt and ring tie the accessories together into a cohesive ensemble. The white capris and flats are a smart pairing with the shirt as I was going for a sophisticated, simple look. I've used this ring before, but its loveliness makes up for any repetition. My necklace was a gift and the belt, capris, and shirt are from garage sales.

Now is here. Tomorrow never comes.
