Day 159: Killer Kiss


When has chocolate ever let us down? Other than the whole, it'll make you fat thing, does it have any faults? I'm just a little in love with chocolate. Okay, you caught me, a lot in love. If my necklace wasn't a dead giveaway, I'm unsure of what is. It's pretty amazing though, I must admit. The charm is dainty, sterling silver, and just darling. I hung the charm on one of my thin silver chains and let its simplicity speak for itself. I just got this lovely skirt for an amazingly low price and decided on a more modern, professional look, rather than going crazy with the pattern. A black and silver bracelet and some wedge heels, and I'm on my way. The charm and bracelet and shirt are from yard sales, while the shoes are so much a part of my closet that their origin is unknown.

Day 158: Sinfully Saturated


Intricate, detailed designs give me life. The flowers of her shirt appear to be painted on with extraordinary intent as each petal is perfectly sculpted like a work of art. The most a baby will appreciate is the pretty colors, but I'm the one who has to look at the outfit all day, so I might as well love it. The shorts actually came as a set with the shirt from Ross. The socks rarely get worn because she doesn't have many things that match them and for the longest time, one half of the pair was missing as socks so love to do. It will forever be a mystery where socks disappear to when we need them the most. While doing the laundry both socks go into the wash, and only one makes it out. On a happier note, she looks adorable, so all is well that ends well.

Nothing can keep a woman from her wardrobe. 

Day 157: Ms. Meow

New day, new look, new shoes. I'm loving these new Tommy Hilfiger sneakers of hers, from Ross. They have a denim texture and go along with a lot of her outfits despite being blue and having yellow laces. This outfit is the perfect match though. Her jeans are new from a thrift store and have a golden color of the exact tone as the laces and the cats on her shirt. And, with a child who is just going to be playing in the dirt all day, the most I can ask for is that she matches, because I know by the end of the day she'll be a wreck. Her shirt was from the same thrift store and I've been waiting for awhile to find the bottoms that would match wholly.

Children trust your judgment in what you make them wear. Don't let them down.

Day 156: Bohemian Belle


This is a new favorite of mine. It's oh so soft like suede, but is made from synthetic materials. It has comfort, cuteness, and wearability. I wouldn't overheat despite the long sleeves, because it's just that light. And these new shoes are drop dead amazing. I actually exchanged some other ones that were similar, because they hurt my feet, but these aren't painful at all and retained all the beauty. I've worn the ring before, but it fits quite well with this new-to-me necklace and the beads on my dress's tassels. The dress and the shoes came from Ross while the ring was a gift and the necklace was from a garage sale.

Standing out isn't for everyone, but dressing well is. 


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.

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.

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.
