Dress Week: Day 7

Mostly Modern, Knits...

Well if this isn't a day late...oopsies. Very eventful day yesterday which just means a lot of people came over and I had no time to blog. Which is just fine with me..sorry readers. But here is my outfit from yesterday. A modern wiggle dress with some vintage accessories.

Corbin was wearing an adorable vintage knit yesterday, I fricken loved it! I have been waiting for him to fit into this sweater since he was born, its a little big on him which is good it means i'll get an extra month out of it..YAY! 

He also turned 4 months old yesterday, he is over 17 lbs and 26.5 inches long..the doctor said he was bigger than his 7 month old..hes going to be a big boy. :)

What I'm wearing
Dress: Macy's Clearance Center
Necklace: Art Deco Dame
Shoes: Mill Street Vintage (back before they were mill street vintage)

What He's Wearing
Vintage Sweater: GRAND knitwear, thrifted
Onesie: Carters, thrifted
Jeans: Koala Baby, thrifted

The end of dress week also means its GIVEAWAY time, there will be giveaways twice, weekly for the rest of the month from me and the great sponsors >>>

Good Luck!

Dress Week: Day 5

B is for Betty Bettie

This has just been a crappy weather week so i went to my "comfy" dress, this kind of low-key paisley dress is one of my very favorites. Its comfortable, kind of casual and pretty flattering and I love the colors, red with a peek of pink and orange. AND...eep I finally found a "Bettie" pin...I've always wanted one and after years of searching I finally gave up on finding a "bettie" in the perfect style so I went with a "Betty" same diff..Well after finding one I really liked I did a search on etsy to see if there was anything else out there and this one popped up. It was very similar to the first one I found but it had the rope detail behind which is a nod to my nautical side and that cute little star..I had to have, it arrived today and I love it!

Dress: Raleigh Vintage
Belt: Miss Farfalla Vintage
Pin: Beth's Everlasting
Shoes: thrifted

Dress Week: Day 4

Mini Paul Bunyan...

I bought this dress as a reward to myself for after Corbin was born. I neglected to remember my bust would be bigger so i kind of have to "make it work" right now. i think it still looks ok though.I bought this little plaid shirt tight after i found out i was having a boy. I think its darling, it reminds me of his grandpa Jim. Paired with his vintage overalls he is like a mini Paul Bunyan, don't ya think?

What i'm wearing
Dress: dear golden
pin: thrifted
belt: thrifted
nylons: i dont remember
shoes: Payless

What he is wearing
plaid shirt: thrifted
overalls: vintage, thrifted
onesie: calvin klein
socks: gymboree

My pin is really special to me, I really want to get it engraved with mine and my husband's name and our 10 year anniversary is coming up, I don't really have any extra money right now so I'm running a sale and hopefully I'll be able to get it engraved :) So please stop by the sale, thanks!

Dress Week: Day 2

Whoa Mama..

Ok, I did step it up a little bit today, this dress isn't breastfeeding friendly so I couldn't wear it for too long but I did get to take a trip to the store in my black wool wiggle dress. One of my favorite pieces I ever thrifted...can you believe I paid $7 for this?

Corbin was sleeping today so I was in kind of a rush to take photos..you never know how long you'll have and I knew when he woke up he would be hungry.

 my other favorite thing I ever thrifted, my 40s bow brooch. I had been searching for one, the perfect one and i found it at my favorite thrift shop..it cost more than the dress..but totally worth it.

=^.^=...................creeper cat

What I'm Wearing:
wiggle dress, thrifted
bow brooch, thrifted
tights, hue, Macy's
shoes..i don't remember, probably Ross

There will be a giveaway at the end of the week, gorgeous things including a 40s fringed shawl.

Dress Week: Day 1

Lazy Day, Dressed Up

Its sunday, i didn't really expect to look "fancy"...but I did anyway because you know what..why not. Corbin and I both dressed up in our summer best, I was wearing one of my favorite dresses that just makes me feel like a MOD mom and he was wearing a baby tuxedo style outfit with a little vest...awww. I love it and its a good thing I put it in him today but he is probably going to grow out of it in less than a week.

What I'm Wearing:
Dress: Small Earth Vintage
What He is Wearing:
One piece vintage "tuxedo", thrifted (look for it in the shop soon)

Dress Week

I don't know if you remember last year, but the first week in June I've designated as "Dress Week" Its a tradition I started and I'm hoping to get more people on board this year...although I probably should've mentioned it before the first day. But if you couldn't tell, I've been quite busy lately so I didn't do a very good job at organizing my event.
I don't even think I've got any pictures from last year, as I do recall I didn't even do outfit posts...but this year I promise to stay on top of it. Since I've only got about a week's worth of dresses you'll probably see some familiar frocks but I'm hoping to have at least 1 or 2 new ones for ya.
So be on the look out Monday-Sunday for Dress Week! :D

Oh, and if you're looking for dresses (and more) I've got the first few items up in the shop from the sales this week and It looks like I've got a pretty "ethereal pink" color story going so far. I'm going to try to do listings every day this week. I've got all the photos done (yay for lovely weekend weather) and I just finished up the measurements for everything too. Here are some of the highlights of whats been listed so far...




There are lots more listed, and tons more to come. Tomorrow I'll probably work on getting more shoes up.
