Mirror Mirror #1

Here's another addition of nursery outfit snapshots.  I can never think of what to title these posts because they are very random, but I think Mirror Mirror fits. Lately I feel my closet has gotten really boring.  I feel the need to throw a ton out and start from scratch, but financially I've got to stick with what I've got.  I was thinking about doing Kendi's 30x30 challenge, but then I realized I pretty much do that without trying.  How do you mix up your outfits on a budget?

All Dressed Up

I fell in LOVE with this dress 4 years ago at St. Vincent's thrift store in Abilene. At the time it was part of their Rent Only costume section . Ugh, so frustrating. St. Vincent's had hundreds of amazing costumes and dresses, and I was extremely depressed I couldn't buy any.  One day, I walked in and saw that all the rentals were finally for SALE! I went crazy and bought a ton of vintage pieces, and this was my top pick.  It didn't fit, had a torn zipper, but I absolutely loved it and still do to this day.   

Last night I was playing dress up in my closet, since I'm trying to figure out what I want to wear for my maternity shoot in a few weeks and this beauty popped out! I put it on and gracefully danced in to my bedroom where Alex was. His reaction..."You're crazy." When Alex doesn't like my outfits, especially my awesome vintage pieces, I usually reply with; "You have no style, Alex. Be quiet." Might be a bit harsh, but he just laughs at me. 

I would totally wear this for the shoot, but the only problem is the color of the dress is almost the exact color of my skin.  I am pale as it is, so this color really washes me out. However, it is such a whimsical dress that could inspire an awesome photo shoot. Any takers?!



Vintage Dress

Oh, this dress.  I saw this colorful dress on the mannequin and instantly fell in love.  The collar, textured material, and pleated skirt are my favorite parts. I already miss my favorite antique and thrift stores in Abilene.  When I came out of the closet wearing this, Alex just started laughing and said, "What the heck are you wearing? You are crazy." Well thank you, I take that as a compliment. Now I just need to get the old lady smell out.
