Vintage 70's Dress and a Hat Obsession

Bucket has a serious hat obsession.

Or maybe it's just wearing things on his head.

He loves his sisters' headbands, a tiara, or even his pajama pants.

He also wore my bra the other day.

But let's not talk about that...

70'S DRESS - Hand-me-down (made by my cousin)

Here are some outfits from the week.  The dress is a hand-me-down from my great aunt.  Her daughter (my 2nd cousin) made it for her in the 1970's.  I was thrilled to receive a vintage piece like this and wore it to a family event.  They immediately recognized the dress and were excited to see it passed down.  The second outfit is a Target one.  The pink jeans and striped shirt both are from Target and the black shoes I got online from Urban Outfitters for $10!!!

There's something special about wearing a real vintage piece, especially when it has family history behind it.  It's definitely a one of a kind.  Kinda like a little hat loving boy I know.

 

Stripes, Neon and Getting Rich

"Mommy, I want you to be one of those store ladies. 

The ones who scan things,"

Princess Sparkles said.

I asked her why and she replied,

"Because then you get rich and I want you to get rich."

Yeah, me too...

Here are a few outfits from the week.  I decided to do a "white outfit" thanks to "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds.  But rather than the dress they chose I decided to wear white jeans and pair them with a neon yellow chevron top and my GS Lillian statement necklace.  I also wore my green Target jeans, which I rolled, and added some thrifted navy stripes.

I think I said I was going to wear fun summer dresses for the week.  Well, I didn't do that but I did wear lots of stripes and jeans!  I love my thrifted finds and my Target clothes.  I think even if I was a rich store lady I would still go thrifting and buy stuff on clearance!!!

 

The Good, The Bad and Some Printed Jeans

"Mommy, I'm the goodest,"

Princess Sparkles whispered to me before bath time.

"I think I'm on Santa's good list."

Sparkles has been obsessed with "Santa's list" after viewing it at Disneyland.

I told her she should be as long as she listens to her parents.

Then she looked over at her crying sister and whispered,

"But I think Pigtails is on the bad list."

I know, another pair of printed skinny jeans.  This time in a camouflage colored ikat print.  I love these.  Not only did I get them for cheap, they're also comfy and match with everything!  The necklace I got from my friend, Share, who started "Share and Do Good Things."  It's made by oh so mere who is raising money to on a humanitarian trip to India!  You can read all about it on her blog.

 

 

The goodest and the other two :)

 

The great thing about wearing a simple outfit like jeans and a t-shirt is you can really play up the accessories.  I love this long necklace, it's colorful, fun and it's going towards a really good cause!  If Santa had a list for jewelry, this necklace would definitely be on the good one!
