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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
