vintage here, vintage there: family outing

January 17, 2011


vintage here, vintage there
We finally were able to celebrate Ben’s birthday this weekend (more on that soon) and after a bit of a crazy week, it was nice to get dressed and out of the house! I have always been a girl who loved clothes (probably too much), so it is fun to have little girls to play real-life dress up with, though my oldest one is starting to develop her own taste. Still, True gets gets pretty excited about vintage and finding vintage, so it makes this mama a happy camper!

The weather over here is pretty warm, around the high 60’s-70’s, so it allows to bust out all the cute short dresses sans tights. I do really love the winter (at least what we get of it here in socal) and wearing tights, but once in awhile it is nice to just bask in the warm sun.
If you have seen Rachel’s vintage loot, you would get jealous cause you know she finds good stuff! Umm… Missouri, may I please come over? Rachel is such a sweetheart and sent over this pretty dress for True (and a whole lot of pretty for the other girls too!).

I have always been a matchy-matchy kind of person, like the shirt had to match the skirt and shoes kinda thing, but I have been trying to break out of that. I think this funky gal has really inspired me when it comes to dressing. Thus, striped tee and vintage plaid dress on Brave was the way to go!

My dress had to be altered a smidge as it was too long or maybe I am just too short, but now it is the perfect length! The wonderful thing is that it is polyester and so that makes hemming so much easier, at least in my book.
