Tutu Skirt, Diamond Stud Earrings and a Clapper

Bang, bang.  Bucket pounded his truck against the wall.

I asked him what he was doing and he smiled.

Then he banged the truck again.

The lamp turned on and he was so excited.

I realized he was playing with the lights, that stinker.

And yes, we have a clapper

(thanks to a white elephant at Camouflage's work).

TUTU - Thrifted
SWEATER - Caslon, Swapped
SHEARLING BLACK MOTO VEST - Loehmanns
BLACK COMBAT BOOTS - Zigi Girl, Nordstrom
DIAMOND STUD EARRINGS - c/o Anjolee

BLUE STRIPED TOP - Old Navy, $8
BLACK PRINTED JEANS - Foreign Exchange, $10
SPIKEY BALLET FLATS - Target
BARBED WIRE EARRINGS - iSanctuary

This week I wore a thrifted tutu to church with a moto vest and combat boots.  I'm in love with these boots because they're comfortable.  I got them during the anniversary sale at Nordstrom.  The cashmere sweater I got during a swap with friends and the vest is from Loehmanns.  The second outfit is an everyday casual one.  The top is Old Navy clearance and the jeans were $10 at Foreign Exchange.

I also wanted to mention these awesome Diamond Stud Earrings I got from Anjolee.  I wore them with the first outfit because I liked the juxtaposition of something classy with my combat boots and moto vest.  Anjolee customizes jewelry according to preference of metal type, diamond size, gemstone quality and size.  They have a ton of birthstones to choose from and their website makes it really easy to design the perfect piece of jewelry.

Bucket drives the truck he used to turn on the light behind him.

I love my new Diamond Stud Earrings.  They match everything and they always look good.  I also appreciate that they never go out of style, kinda like the Clapper.

Camouflage Cut-Out Sweater, Black Pony Boots and Prayers

"Thank you, God, for my mommy and daddy... And unicorns,"

Pigtails said as we prayed before bed.

I tried not to laugh, then told her to close her eyes.

"Thank you, God, for not letting bugs crawl in our ears and lay eggs,"

prayed Sparkles.  Then Pigtails jumped back in and added,  

"Oh, and thank you for sushi."

CAMOUFLAGE CUT-OUT SWEATER - Forever 21
GOLD SKIRT - H&M
OPEN TOE BOOTIES - Thrifted

FAIR ISLE SWEATER - Romeo and Juliet via Loehmanns
BLACK PONY BOOTS - Steven by Steve Madden (thrifted)

This camouflage sweater is my newest obsession - not only for the print but for the cut-outs.  I got it at Forever 21.  I decided to pair it with something girly, a $6 gold skirt from H&M and some thrifted open toe heeled booties.  The second outfit is something comfy and casual.  The Romeo & Juliet sweater came from Loehmanns and those amazing boots with pony hair and studded buckles I got with Mary Jo from Trust Your Style when we met up and went on a fun thrifting trip to GW!

Since Princess Sparkles started elementary school I haven't had a chance to thrift very often, so going with Mary Jo was an extra special treat.  She saw those Steven boots first and lucky for me, we don't wear the same size.  Thank you, God, for fellow bloggers, thrifting... And black pony boots!

Fringe Boots, Poncho and a Third Child

"Bah-byee," Bucket said

as he swung a purse over his shoulder.

Bucket is a serious observer.

He notices everything.  Everything.

When I told him he couldn't have a cookie,

I found him a few minutes later eating one.

He had pushed a step stool into the pantry and helped himself.

Oh, the life of a third child...

Here are a few outfits from the week.  I was excited to find this sweater at Target on sale.  I had been wanting a winter white one and this fit perfectly.  Last Christmas my sister, Polka Dots, and I decided to give each other presents from our own closets and I got this fab necklace from her.  In the second outfit, I decided to wear my poncho with this Krochet Kids hat I got from the store {Share} and Do Good.

I took on a few freelance writing jobs so it's been difficult to keep up with things like my blog (even my outfits - yikes!).  I squeeze in some writing, then swing my purse over my shoulder and quickly run out for mommy duties.  Now if only Bucket could grab me a snack on the go!
