The Littlest Bombshell

I just had to share this sweet little lady wearing her vintage pinafore from my shop. This is sweet Gemma "Bird" with puppy Frances of the Bleu Bird Vintage blog.

 Isn't she just the cutest?! I do believe she's our littlest "Bombshell" so far!

(if you've got photos of you, or your kiddos in a Bombshell Bettie frock I'd love to see and share them!)

  Make sure to check out Mommy Ms James' adorable family "What We Wore" posts, great kid-friendly DIY's and inspiring posts about her life. 

Reminding us that just because you have little ones is no excuse to give up your style!

Have a great night

I'll be doing that probably friday or sunday. I have a fun weekend planned of not working so these items won't be in the shop until next week.

Mod-ish

 Hey I finally stopped being a slacker and wore something cute. I paired this adorable pink, beige, white and bright yellow dress with my favorite new summer accessory, this great headband. Because I wear glasses its hard to find a headband that works but this one is perfect.

Headband: c/o Branchbound
Dress: Small Earth Vintage
Belt: vintage, thrifted
Shoes: vintage, thrifted

I know I've said as long as I've been wearing vintage that I would never alter it, not even the hem....but I have to say I'm sick of buying dresses and having them not fit in a couple places so I'd sell them or they sit in my closet until some day when I'll be able to wear them...I have several skirts I'll probably never fit into but I'd feel bad getting rid of them. And when I got this dress it fit ok but it was just the teeniest bit too small in the arms. It pinched to the point where I wouldn't wear it. 

So my awesome mother in law took the sleeves off and did some alterations for me and now its perfect! Hooray! So when it comes to vintage, never say never. I've always said that once it leaves the shop its up to the new owner what they want to do with it..and since I'm the new owner I guess I should start following my own advice. 

Hope you are all having a wonderful summer so far!
