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.

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.
