How cute is my almost-2-year-old daughter? Her dress isn't thrifted, but it was free from her Aunt Chiemi. Aren't we all lovers of hand-me-downs. Free?? Yes, please! Her shoes, on the other hand, are thrifted. I bought them way back when she was too small for them knowing she would eventually grow into them. She finally did! And she is representing the patriotic side of our family on September 11th. Her adorable jean jacket was a gift from her Aunt Christy from Gap. Its 6-12 months but still fits! I recently got my dress for $1.50. I about died the second I saw it because I love the style, but don't have anything in my closet quite like it.
I do think I could easily be mistaken for being pregnant while wearing this dress (no... I'm NOT) but it is SO comfy! I thrifted the black, braided belt and gold bracelet. I tried to use the Sydney technique of tying my belt, but the belt is too short for that... Okay! Okay... My waist is too big for that.
My shoes (excuse the blurry pic) were hand-me-downs from my stylish Grandma. Love her.
And my fall-leaf earrings belonged to Brett's Grandma Ethel while she was still living. I love them.
Kristi's dress is thrifted too! It's actually meant to be worn the other way around, but she turned it around and just wears a shirt underneath. Clever!
This is my belt, but it's also thrifted! I love it because the cream part is elastic. So it always looks good on anyone.
So I wrote you this comment but I dont think it went through. I LOVE your thrifting and it has really inspired me to do it. My only hold up is I have a thing about how clean the stuff is and who once wore it. So do you have any suggestions on how to get over this, and have you had any problems with this?
ReplyDeleteI love all the outfits in this post! I'm so excited to start throbbing again!
