My Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 2)

You can read part 1 here in My Beautiful Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 1)

I LOVE THIS HAT!!! I'm a big fan of Vintage clothing 

(Let me rephrase that, Certain kinds of Vintage clothing! :)

And while I've had several winter vintage hats this is the first on I've had the would

 work for spring and summer! 

I found it a a church sale last year for a great deal (Along with a few winter hats) 

and just couldn't pass it up! :D

It's kind of looks like a sailor hat from some angles...... 

I did my hair in a low side bun  because of the netting on the side.......

I really enjoyed REALLY dressing up for once! :)

I LOVE the 40s - 50s look of the hat! 

I used a large Bobby Pin to hold the hat in the middle of the top and a couple of 

small ones on the sides.

Did you dress up for Easter?

My Beautiful Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 1)

Here is my Easter Sunday Outfit! :D I don't mind telling you that Easter Sunday is one

 of my FAVORITE Sundays of the year (I think Christmas is the only one that ranks

 higher :) But Valentines day is a close second!) 

First thing I want to say is Thanks! to my Mom for taking most of these pictures! Easter Sunday is very busy and it felt like too much work to get the tripod out and set everything up :P 

Thanks Mom! 

As you've probable figured out I LOVE to dress up! :) I guess I'm still a little girl in that way ;)

Okay, on to the outfit! :) 

The Dress!

A couple of weeks ago one of my good friends said she had cleaned out her closet

 and had some things she thought I might be interested in (They were dresses she made herself!) I (of course!) said yes! (you know how much I LOVE clothes :) 

This dress was one of them! Yay! Instant Easter dress with a few added accessories! 

The Jacket!

My Mom picked this jacket up at one of our thrift stores last week and it went just perfectly with the dress! (It added to the 40's 50's feel of it)

The Shoes

I found these shoes at a church garage sale a couple of years ago

 (I have no idea how much they were :P) and again they have the vintage look!

I LOVe the back of the dress! :)

I added a pair of vintage looking pink rose earrings too. 

And last of all here is THE HAT! I LOVE this hat! :D This was the one thing about my outfit that was truly VINTAGE! And..........You can read about that in Part 2!

My Fun Fall Outfit Post 3 (Green, Black & Boots!)

Hi Everyone! 

Sorry but this one is going to be short and sweet!

This is an outfit that I wore last week as a trial for a Sunday outfit.......

I was surprised how well it came together! 

I also must tell you that there will most likely NOT be another outdoor outfit post until spring, unless it is about a coat! :) 

I was crazy enough to go out to get pictures and I only lasted about 5 minutes. (I told you I was crazy) BTW it was about 35 degrees out at the time!

You all had better get used to seeing our hallway (as it is the only place that works for pictures)

Don't you just LOVE our pine trees! 

Okay......So on to the outfit!

This is a dress that my Mom gave me earlier this year and this was the first time I got to wear it!

It is REALLY comfortable (feels kind-of like pajamas)

I paid $0.50 for this hat, and I LOVE it!

The scarf is my first attempt at making a infinity scarf (no I didn't follow directions! :)

The belt was a gift from my Aunt!

I paid $0.50 for these shoes at a church garage sale............

And now for my favorite!

I found these boots  at a garage sale for $3.00! (this is more than I usually pay)

they were brand new and I just couldn't pass them up :)

Needless to say I was THRILLED! 

Well...........I got them home and happened to look at the box..........And the price tag that was on the box........It said $90.00! I couldn't believe it!

Now they are my favorite shoes  

----------------------------------------------

1. Hat; No tag $0.50 at a church sale

2. Infinity Scarf; made by me 

3. Earrings; Gift 

4. Necklace; Gift

5. Belt; Gift

6. Dress; Spiegel ~ Gift

7. Heeled shoes; $0.50 ~ Naturalizers ~ church garage sale

---------------------------------------

I might be off-line for a few days because of travelling to help our grandparents (my Grandpa is having surgery)

I hope you all have a great week!

My Fun Fall Outfit 2 (Burnt Orange and Cream)

This is the outfit I wore to church yesterday!

I was looking for a outfit that looked fall-ish but was still cool and summer-y 

(sorry about my strange words :)

It was supposed to be in the eighties and sunny! 

(It turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL day by the way!)

I chose this Orange dress because it's Linen which is nice and cool!

I didn't want to wear brown or black with it (it would look to winter-y (sorry) :) 

so I decided on cream!

I LOVE these shoes! I think I found them at a church garage sale for about $1.00?

They are Italian leather and SO comfortable! 

They are also size 38 (if you know anything about European sizing! :) Which BTW I don't)

Don't you LOVE all of the fall leaves in our yard? !!!

By the way, the reason the bottom part of my hair is SO messy is this is about 2:30 in the afternoon and I fixed it at 8:00 in the morning + I stood outside at church for about 1/2 an hour :( Oops!

The earrings were a gift from Mom & Dad on my last Birthday! :)

And the necklace was also a gift from them (Christmas two years ago!)

P.S. This is an old picture (just about Christmas time last year)

-------------------------------

1. Dress; American Living; 100% Linen! Gift

2. Shirt; Designers Originals; Cotton. Garage sale $0.50

3. Shoes; Spring Step;  Made in Italy! Church Garage Sale $1.00

Necklace; Gift from Mom & Dad

Earrings Gift Again from Mom & Dad! :)

------------------------------

I hope you all enjoyed My Fun Fall Outfit 2!

Thanks for stopping by.........I hope you'll come back soon!

My Fun Fall Outfit! (First Ever Outfit Post!)

Hi Everyone! 

This is my first ever outfit post. Yay! First off these are my Jeans that I re-purposed!

 The posts about that are Re-purposed Jeans Tutorial Part 1 and

  Re-purposed Jeans Tutorial Part 2 

Everything I am wearing is from a garage sale or thrift store, except

 the necklace!

My necklace was a gift from one of my friends two Christmas's ago

(I wear it a lot!)

I got this vest for a GREAT deal at a garage sale. You can read about it in My Garage Sale Finds!

My green sweater is one of the recent finds (for fall and winter) and I LOVE it!  

My earrings were some that I bought from my Mom at

 our garage sale :)

Here is the ring I ALWAYS wear on my right hand.......It is the symbol of Christ

 (His mark on me)

This is my purity ring, 

In our family on our 13th birthday we are given a 

Purity ring for girls and a Purity badge for boys 

(the badge is gold plated and they can choose what goes on it)

and we can also choose our own rings.

For my ring my Mom gave me a choice between a "Claudaugh purity ring" 

or one of her rings, do you want to guess which I chose? :)

Mom's ring was also pretty special because it was one that my Dad 

gave to her as a gift! It's a 18 caret gold ring with little tiny diamond chips.

 It means WAY more to me then on of the other ones would have! 

I've had these shoes FOREVER and they are so comfortable!
