Day 155: Socially Superb

My little social butterfly is ready to take the world by storm is this outfit. It's casual, fairly simple, and she is a child that can turn heads with her personality alone. Gold, butterflies, and flowers are her ensemble's tying factors and she rocks them quite nicely. Her shoes are new from Ross and are ready for the new transition in sizes, even if I'm not. Children will grow whether we want them to or not. It's not our decision, but we can still mourn the loss of all their adorable clothes. Her shirt is from a yard sale and the gymboree pants are from a thrift store.

Dream of a bigger and better wardrobe. 

Day 154: Sky Serenade

Pinstripes are so awesome. Rare, but awesome. For some crazy reason, clothing manufacturers think it's a good idea to have the majority of stripes on clothing go horizontally. And while there are girls who would appreciate looking a bit bigger, most people have the opposite issue. Vertical lines are a simple way to give the illusion of being taller and more slender. Finding cute clothes that include vertical stripes, or any that have them is quite the task. I found one in this lovely dress though, which I'm pretty excited about. With my suede, brown boots I have a bit of a country air, but that is nothing to complain about. I just got these bell earrings and necklace too. They tinkle just the tiniest bit so that it isn't bothersome, only endearing. I don't usually wear clip-on earrings as every experience with them has been painful, but these were great. They didn't hurt, didn't fall off, and were obviously cute. I got the dress at Ross, the necklace and earrings at a yard sale, the boots were a gift and I found the bracelet in the street years ago.

Tame your mane to match your ensemble. 

Day 153: Vogue Vixen

This hat... I cannot begin to express my love of this vintage hat. I was yard saling in one of the ritzier parts of my town and came across a garage sale with amazing prices. The hat had a $1 sticker on it and I was fully prepared to pay that. Heck I would have paid $5 for this thing, but to top off my day, the person running the sale was walking around shouting that everything was half-price. I paid for this faster than you could say vintage. My shirt is from a yard sale from the day before and my shorts have already been featured. But, they have red plaid and of course had to be used again for that. The jewelry set is from the hat day, and though the jewelry is a bit more orange than the red of the shirt, the vintage style absolutely makes up for it. The silver and gold belt (garagesale) goes along with the look of the jewelry so everything ties in wonderfully.

Self-love is first and foremost. 

Day 152: Slytherin' Snake

I about screamed when I got this snake bracelet as a gift. Everything about it, from its rhinestone-encrusted head to its tiny fangs are marvelous. The necklace is pretty fantastic too. The stones lining its serpentine body are marcasite which is made from a mineral called pyrite. Pyrite can be located all around the world, but very little of that is able to be made into jewelry, as there is a distinct cutting process used with many specifications for the stone that is to be cut. In other news, I got one of my awesome deals at Ross on this shirt, and these boots had a dang good price at a yard sale. The shorts are also from Ross, but though they were still cheap, they weren't $0.42 cheap. Both the belt and necklace came from garage sales. Altogether, I'd say this outfit is a modern, dangerous look (Thanks to the snakes). By the way, the title is a play on 'slithering' and 'Slytherin'.

Hone your style so that it may never dull. 

Day 151: Lime Lov

First things first, the title is meant to be like that. It's an inside joke in my family that involves this little one. At least the lime is self-explanatory for her beautiful ensemble. She should be walking along the beaches of Hawaii with that island dress and those hibiscus socks. Normally, I don't like plopping random colors into outfits, but considering the flower on these socks match the color and theme of this dress perfectly, I let it slide. Not to mention, this amazing button flower over the paisley pattern is spectacular on her. Her hem is a nice extra layer that adds dimension to the overall look. Her socks are from a yard sale and her dress is from a thrift store designed for children.

Fashion is your friend. 

Day 150: Mediterranean Missy

The cool tones in this photo mixed with the bright flowers, yellow paint, and metal, are synonymous with pictures pasted across the Internet of days spent in countries along the Mediterranean e.g. Italy and Greece. It has taken me such a long time to get a photograph of her in this shirt though, because every day that I put her into it, she would stain it with a food or drink or some other thing that only a child could manage to find. Luckily, Shout exists and it works wonders. Her shirt has a pleated bodice, and the embroidery on the end wraps around the entire hem beautifully. Underneath are her stretchy jeans and of course her black boots with tiny rhinestones in the center of each flower. She is such a doll baby, I just can't handle her cuteness. Her shirt is from a thrift store, her jeans a yard sale, and her boots Facebook.

Great style does not just happen, one must work for it. 

Day 149: Bow Bearer

It's all in the fine details in terms of matching today. I could have taken the easy way out and used pink or white for her shirt and socks, but what fun would that be? There are many secondary stripes on her shorts in purple and green that keep to the theme in a subtle way. The ruffles of her shirt bow coincide with the ones lining her shorts's pockets. Matching doesn't need to be blatantly obvious, but there should be a bit of it going on in an outfit. I love that her socks look like purple Mary Janes. It's too bad the ground is so dirty and dangerous to walk on outside while barefoot, or even with socks, because how awesome would it be if we could actually decide if we want to wear shoes or not. Unfortunately, that probably won't be happening soon. Anyways her entire outfit is from various yard sales.
