My $10 boots from Old Navy!!! |
When I first found out I was pregnant I checked out craigslist and bought a few pieces from a mom in her garage. She threw in some freebies and this dress was one of them. It has chiffon sleeves which I like. I wore a scarf so I could link up to Silverstyle's "Trending Through The Decades" But sadly I missed out :( I also wore tights so I could do Everybody Everywear. Again, too late. The upside is I'm wearing these cute black boots I got at Old Navy for $10! They were on clearance AND I had a coupon. My mom, Fair Isle, told me she could even put faux fur on them, so I'm excited about that!!!
I'm so lucky to have a talented mom like Fair Isle who can sew and make me some really great things (like my scarf and some cool cuffs!). Unlike her daughter, who's not so good at being meticulous (okay, it's kinda an excuse). Just feel like I often mess things up - like missing out on some really cool link ups - though hopefully I did NOT mess up our toilet!
***I am going to link up to "Thursdays Are for Thrifters" from Spunky Chateau!

Hey Girl! I'm sure a pebble won't mess it up. You look awesome. I've seen blue tights, but that's an awesome shade for you. That was so sweet for that lady to throw in extra things. Loving that scarf! You are one haute momma. Hope all is well and Have a great evening!

I missed you this link up! I know you are busy but do enjoy when you stop by. That outfit is so cute! I love the colored tights. My days of those sadly are behind me.
Take care of yourself and happy flushing tomorrow?
A pebble? That's a new one. Hopefully it will be fine. Love these tights! What a cool color and they look great with this awesome freebie dress :)
fabulous outfit. I love the green tights. The black boots are such a great buy! I like how you did your scarf so effortlessly. A creative fall outfit, I like the layering.

Hahaha...a pebble in the toilet! LOL The adventures of life with kids:-)
I am LOVING your super cheap, super cute boots!
I also love the aqua tights. I've had some blue tights from last year still in the pack--I need to break them out this year!
Looking fab as usual:-))
Bummer on the link ups (and the pebble) but the upside is that you are one goooooorgeous pregnant lady! Love love love your $10 boots and the bright tights and the scarf! You are a lucky girl to have a mama who can sew!
I keep those disposable latex gloves handy for such occasions. Which is worse--fishing things out or having something accidentally drag in the bowl. $10 boots! Unbelievable!
I love that scarf! :)
love your earrings, bracelet and boots!
Old Navy has amazing boots for such an affordable price :)

Absolutely love the bright pop of color those tights add to the outfit. Honestly, colored tights are one of my favorite things about colder weather. And they can add a great detail to just about any outfit. You look wonderful, Claire!

I think you probably got off easy with just a pebble being in the toilet...it could have been so much worse :)
I love the color of these tights, especially when paired with the neutral colors in the rest of the outfit. So pretty!
You look amazing! The tights are a refreshing color. I saw those boots at Old Navy but they weren't in my size!They look great on you!
