Getting Miss Wiggle-Pot to stand still and take a photos for this shoot was much harder than usual! Most of the time she loves to come and photobomb my blog pictures, however, this time I got lots of cute-but-not-quite pictures instead.
I guess that’s why they say don’t work with animals or children, but I keep finding myself breaking that rule. Oh well…
Funnily enough, she was very happy to come and show me her outfit after she got dressed in the morning. She runs into my bedroom while I’m getting ready for church and says “Look at my pretty!” And proceeds to bend down and point to her favourite pastel pink shoes with the white and pink daisies on the toes, then pick up her skirt and swish it around. She also pointed to her buttons ~ “Look! Buttons!” she says. ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ
I may or may not have proceeded to point my toes and say “Look, Mummy’s wearing pretty shoes and a dress too!” while swishing my skirts. *coughcough* (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
It is so fun having daughters! I find it so amusing how, without very little {or none at all!} encouragement from me, Little Belle has already decided that pink is her favourite color, and that pretty dresses are her favourite things to wear.
And I swear I had nothing to do with the fact that she’s been obsessed with shoes since she was six months old! Unless it’s genetic… Lol.
Mind you, if it changes later on, that’s perfectly okay, but for now I’m definitely loving the joy that we have from sharing fun things like pink and dresses. (♡◠‿◠)
On that note ~ how cute is this vintage pink and grey gingham 1950’s frock? It was an absolute steal on eBay {less than $33.00 including p+p can you believe it!?} ~ a rare, but sometimes lucky find. I just love that this dress has pockets, yes, two of them! I might have had to wait for a year to wear it, but it was so worth the closet space.
That’s one of the problems buying vintage out of season, or in this case, if you’re pregnant! Sometimes you have to wait several months before you can find out whether it fits… And sometimes you know straight away that it’s not going to. I have had one or two like that ~ where I was over-optimistic about how much give the cut of the top had, or some measurement somewhere else other that bust or waist ~ like arm scythes or shoulders ~ don’t fit like you’d expect from the bust/waist measurement.
To that end, I’ve created a new Instagram! @lavenderandtwillvintage where I’m going to be selling off the vintage, or vintage reproduction pieces, that I no longer love, or that don’t quite fit right. I actually have a huge box of clothes waiting for me to do something with it, so I’m exciting to finally be finding new homes for these lovely pieces so that they are no longer languishing in the bottom of my closet!
Please bear in mind, it will take me a while to get everything listed, but I hope you will follow along for the goodies I have in store. ( ^ _ ^)∠☆
