Little Chief: 5 Months

Holy Moly! Where did my baby go? Corbin is 5 months old now, he is wearing between 9 and 12 month clothing, he is trying to sit up on his own...but he gets so excited he just knocks himself over so we usually practice sitting up on the bed. He loves to play with his feet  now and does raspberries like daddy, drooling all over the place. He can suck his thumb whenever he wants and he actually has a sleeping schedule now!!! WHAT?! I know!

It has been CRAZY hot here, like nearly 100 and super humid so it just makes it even more miserable. I do not enjoy heat. I would like to live somewhere that it was 67 degrees all year. But then I would miss having the snow, so you gotta take the good with the crazy nearly unbearable heat. 

I spotted this outfit on etsy before Corbin was born and my dad bought it for him. I LOVE it!

 Its wool, 1950s sweater and shorts set. I was hoping it would fit for thanksgiving..but yeah..I didn't expect to have such a giant boy already.

 also..I love putting him in separates because then his little belly peeks out the bottom..SO CUTE

 His minnetonka mocs fit him pretty good too..they're still a little long but wearable...and how could I not pair them together?!

Sweater Set..uh. I dont remember. oops
Mocs: thrifted

Where's the Beef?

If you're wondering where my firework and patriotic outfit pics from yesterday are..well truth is, I didn't wear red  white or blue yesterday. My favorite dress the one I wear every year isn't breastfeeding friendly so I just didn't bother. I did dress Corbin up in a cute 50s red white and blue sweater though..and really, thats better than seeing pics of me anyway..haha.

He's almost 5 months old now...but I'll save that for another post.
What He Wore:
Vintage 50s Sweater, thrifted
Railroad stripe clam diggers, Macy's

Sorry, no fireworks though...The county I live in has banned fireworks..but our city does a big display downtown..i just didn't feel like dealing with all the people.

The hubs and I did go thrifting yesterday. Mostly as retail therapy because of the drama that is happening right now in our lives. Money issues, paypal issues...its just bad all around and I'm just so DONE with everything. But yesterday I did find some amazing pieces and some just plain funny pieces.

 i so wanted to buy this stroller.. but my priority is shop items ...and bills

 this boob necklace killed me!!

Found this little beauty for you yesterday, 26 waist, 36 bust!!!

plus lots more and yes, i did buy myself a brooch...i couldn't help it. But look for the dress & more on monday! 

The 4th of July SALE is still going through Friday!

 Hope you had a good holiday!

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. :)

Dress: Macy's Clearance Center

Good Luck!

Dress Week: Day 6

Oh So 60s..

I'll admit it, I'm not the biggest fan of 60s "MOD" fashion...ok, thats not true. I do love the style but it doesn't really work well with my body type. I (personally) think it works best for thin, not so curvy women with nice thin legs...I have none of those things...but I do love this dress. The pattern is awesome, it looks like pixels. I'm borrowing it from the shop today. I had a hard time adding it to the shop because it does fit well and the colors are fantastic..so until it sells, I may borrow it a few more times.

 

60s Dress: borrowed from my shop (which is currently running a sale)
60s Sweater: bought a long time ago from ebay, i think the shop is closed now.
60s Brooch: taken from my shop, you snooze you loose...it to me. haha
80s Shoes: ebay

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

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.

wiggle dress, thrifted
bow brooch, thrifted
