What she Wore and a Pre Tutorial

Shirt.old navy  Dress.Vintage  Shoes.Old Navy Leggings. Cut off Target Socks

 

I go this wonderful idea to use cut off target socks from Rachel over on Smile and Wave. Lately I've been layering them with with tights as it's still to cold for just leg warmers, but I'm sort of fearful to send her with this mix on to school. Being a former preschool teacher I know how confusing and difficult it can be when you have to change a childs diaper when there wearing a wonky outfit:)

So........ I've developed an easy way, with minimal sewing, to turn the cut off socks into a pair of leggings!! I've already created a few pairs....and of course I didn't take pictures as I was so excited of how easy and quick it was!! So I'm trying to back track and take pictures that can still explain the process! Hopefully I'll get the new tutorial posted by Friday!! In the mean time go find some old knee socks or go out and buy a pair for just $2.00 or less at Target..... and start digging out all you little one's old tights!! This will be easy I promise, and you'll have tons of new leggings just in time for spring:)

Future Crafter

During the Holidays me and little girl spent a lot of time crafting!! Here's a couple of necklaces she created with some of my vintage plastic beads. I let her pick out the beads and the order she wanted them in and I strung them for her. I think we have must have a future DIY craft star on our hands:)

A Week of Vintage

I found tons of  vintage goodies this week!!...and .......I found one of the most fabulous little vintage shops!! They have so many wonderful items and at such great prices, and when I say great prices I mean GREAT prices!! 95% of their inventory is under $9.99 and most of the items I found were around a dollar or two! Honestly their prices were better than estate sale and thrift store prices, and they stock almost 5000 new items a week! They had a set of 4 vintage floral glasses for $1.39 and I bought a vintage Christmas table cloth for $4.99. I'll try and take some pictures next time I'm there, which will probably be in a couple of days..haha:)

Anywho, sorry for the rambling:) I just knew that you all would share my excitement more than husband did..LOL:)Here are a few of little girls finds for the week, I'm totally jealous of her little cardigan...I think I want one for myself:)

Vintage 50's cardigan. thrifted Janie and Jack top. Jegging from Walmart

Vintage Oshkosh Jumper. Vintage Carters Button Down

Okay...and...seriously I don't know what her deal is with all the paci's lately? For some reason or another she now has to have 2 rather than just the 1...you know one for the mouth and one to rub on her face:) However she's just a closet paci user...LOL...as she doesn't use it at school:)

Thanksgiving and What she wore

I hope everyone here in the states had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday!! I'm such a nerd but not only was excited about spending time with family but I was also really excited about little girls newly found vintage Mary Poppins dress!! I'm not much into characters but when it comes to vintage illustrations...especially on children's clothing...well lets just say that I almost peed my pants when I found this dress!!

 

...and I tried to get a picture of me and her together as I really never take photo's of myself...but  she wasn't having that as you can see by the picture;) 

What she Wore: That 70's Show

 I know it's kind of funny, considering all the pretty dresses she has, but this one of my favorite vintage outfits for little girl! It's great comfy everyday vintage wear and it reminds me of one of my favorite TV show's, That 70's show!! I love the look of high-waisted wide leg jeans paired with a simple vintage velor sweatshirt:) Little girl was not really feeling much like having her picture taken today hence all the blurriness and all the pacifier's...haha:)  Tomorrow I've got a great vintage dress planned for little girl to wear to Thanksgiving diner! I got it couple of weeks ago and I've been dieing to share it with you guys!! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!:)

What She Wore

Vintage white dress from a recent estate sale and jeggings from Walmart. Below is a little dress I picked up from my parents house last night that was either mine or my sisters? I believe it's a Polly Flinders. I'm so excited for little girl to get to wear this!

...On a little side note I keep wanting to mention Rachel and Ruby's exciting new blog feature. They are doing a weekly "Vintage Here Vintage There" feature in which they are sharing secrets to their kiddo's and their own great vintage style! So if you love vintage clothes be sure to stop by and check it out!!

What She Wore: Easy Peasy Vintage

I've always wanted to document some of my daughters fun vintage outfits like some of my  lovely fellow bloggers do:) So last week I finally got my daughter to stand still long enough to take a picture where you could for the most part see her outfit..LOL:) There's an adorable little Scottie dog on the front that's still sort of hard to see. How I LOVE easy vintage outfits, you know the one's that aren't fussy and they can actually go outside and play in! I believe this little top is from the 50's as I found it at an estate sale with a bunch of other 50's style outfits, including the little red dress below...hello Christmas dress:)
