TRIBAL PRINT DRESS - $30, Heavenly Treasures (call to order) MULTI-COLORED BELT - Style Xpress YELLOW CUFF - Made by My Mom ZEBRA WOOD EARRINGS - $10, Heavenly Treasures (call to order) GLADIATOR WEDGES - Dolce Vita for Target |
My sister, Polka Dots, arrived today from Hawaii (at 5am!) and Princess Sparkles was super excited to see her. Not only does Polka Dots give her complete devoted attention, but she also brings presents. When Princess Sparkles saw my sister for the first time she yelled, "Auntie," and ran up to hug her. Then she got a huge smile on her face and said, "presents?"

Pigtails wearing her "presents" |
Anyway, I'm really excited to spend time with Polka Dots. We're planning on going thrifting today at some of Fair Isle's fave thrift stores. Hopefully I'll get something vintage, inexpensive and super fabulous. Getting a really good deal on a thrifted treasure is even better than getting a present (unless you're Princess Sparkles, then maybe you'd rather have the present).

You look simply amazing! That dress is fantastic on you.
I love her gift to your sister, that is SO adorable! It sounds like a collection of her favorite things so while perhaps not useful to your sister, the sentiment is so sweet. :)
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
The dress is very pretty. I'm also doing 30 for 30 too.

Princess Sparkles is too cute. Little kids can be so generous.
The colors of the dress look amazing on you, and the belt is perfect with it. I can't believe I missed those sandals at Target (sigh). Have a good weekend :)

You are so cute. Damn, I just messed up my newly painted nails.
Oh, I am excited to follow you through the 30/30 challenge.
That is so cool about where you got the dress, what an awesome thing to support.
Please tell me what this 30 day remix thing is, it sounds interesting.

You look great. I love the pop of yellow (kind of looks neonish) from the tribal brown hued outfit.
Your daughter is so cute. That is totally something my son would do. Every day he likes to create 'surprises' for my daughter and I during his quiet time and it is always various combination of his toys under a blanket or pillow case.
Ah, the remix... I have to check it out but I am not sure once again..

Ooooh, you're doing a 30-day remix?? Girl, you have balls. I don't think I could ever do that. I get bored way too easily. I would probably give up after a week. I'm looking forward to seeing how you rock it!

AW SO CUTE! <3 Good luck with thrift shopping! AND how did your mom make that yellow cuff?? I love it! I want one D: :)))
That dress is amazing, and I love that you're giving back by buying it! And I love your story about Princess Sparkles gave your sister a "present"! I remember when I was little I used to give people similar random, found object "gifts". Too cute :)

Good luck with your remix! I love the dress. And Princess Sparkles and Pigtails are just too cute....I am obsessed with tutus. Take care!
Don't you look glam? I'm so jealous you're slipping off to thrift, I would love to take the day off but I think taking the fur balls in for teeth cleaning at the vet is in my near future-sigh.
