purty in the thirties

I love this dress, I bought it 7 years ago...in Kansas City at this vintage 'warehouse' literally it was a warehouse that was next to nothing in the middle of some run down west part of town. It was only open from 10 to 2 on Saturdays and it was a branch off a tiny store in off Westport Rd...except cheaper:) So I went when I was in town and happened to remember. It was on the second story and there was this elderly gentleman running it. They had the rooms sectioned off in era and it was oh so delightful. Anyway I found this 1930 gem for $10, yessss!
I have been taking pictures out behind my work its rather drab but I like it. Next time I'm going to go to a more greener spot. Well better go do another load of laundry, these things just to clean themselves you know.
Oh and sorry for the boobs, thats what breastfeeding a baby will do to ya. They are driving me nuts, as much as people say you want what you dont have..that is true and I wouldnt miss having big boobs...I want to be able to wear loooowww cut things every once in a while!!!!ugh

SO hey this is what has been going on, a whole lot of fashion blog stalking. I just cant help it, and I want to do it too, but every time I post something, I literally feel like someone in the deep end who cant swim. This is me after work most of these.. And at my work I am so graciously allowed to wear mostly whatever I want. With the exception of anything with holes in it, which is most of my jeans I feel like...no fraying and no sweatpants...is mainly what I cant wear. And right now I am really into wearing my dad's old jean shorts with his initials which sequentially use to me my initials:) I have to wear them but Im almost half temped to put them away for fear Im going to rip it a last one..they are so thin. But alas I cant wear them to work so I will have to remember to take a picture of them next time I wear them.
This outfit Im wearing I feel like it was cuter in my head, I dont know. I really liked the socks with my pea green t-straps.
And also the little mini underneath is a tshirt I cut the top off of cause I didnt like it anymore as a tshirt.

black tank ..gifted (american apparel from a chicago hair show)
off white tank U.O. on sale for $3
up-scaled mini
U.O. sunglasses also $3
shoes from Target $7
Socks from Target $5
Hat vintage
Vintage tie cuff made by me:)
Gold heart necklace gifted

is it too much to ask

That I want my hair to be repunzel-like:)
What I wouldnt give for a little thicker hair and yea and longer.

Is it moo moo or muu muu?

I have been making these vintage tie bracelets for some time now but normally only manage to make them whenever it is someone's birthday or something, kinda makes them more special maybe:) (which I need to make you and your sister in law one Lindsay STILL) But I really wanted to make this for my little friend Bethany for your birthday. I love this tie, it has little grandfather clocks on it. AAnnnnd I never know what to do with the other half if it is too skinny to make into a wallet or something. (that is what i do with the ends that are fat) Sooo I made it into a twisted headband, luckily we both have the same head sz:) She loved it of course and I loved it so much I was really temped to keep it..haha. But for real I have a billion old man ties and I can make my own, (selfish me). Anyway I mainly wanted to share cause when I make something I never take pictures of it and then think of it after I give it away. So here they are.

I just feel like dancing in this outfit. I thrifted this outfit and havent looked back!! I wish I would have taken a picture without the vest on, but oh well. It has a drawstring neck and ties in the back and the back is slit open...just the top not the bottom:)ha
My husband bought me this cute button up sweater on our first Christmas almost 6 yrs ago and Ive held on to it all this time cause A. its from him and B. it makes things 'sweet'.
The wedges I bought at Charlotte Russe for $3 on super sale!! I love it when I stumble upon these things. And the vest I bought on sale at Target a while back, cant remember how much though.
The hat is my husbands and the glasses I bought off a mannequin at a local second hand shop. I know I have a small head but I love these non the less;)
Well my 8.5 month old is climbing up my leg right now so I better tend to him....he's been sickly and feverish all weekend..and I am glad its Memorial Day and I dont have to work and he is feeling much much better and back to normal. He's a fighter boy. He was still pleasant considering he had temps of 102 and 103:( Scarrrryyyy
Alright now he is yelling at me:)

This is the Express tank Im wearing...saw this picture after I got it..and thought yes we have one piece of clothing that is the same:) haha......Karla's closet

I am so embarrassed on how long the gap is between this post and the last. I feel like Ive let myself down a bit.....and anyone who is following this. ALL 3 of you:) But I want to get this puppy rollin.
Right now I have this 8 month old bouncing, crawling, standing, falling baby boy and he keeps me just a little busy:)
I am soooo ready for this summer to start and STAY. I watch the weather daily and in my bathroom I have this temperature gauge thing that tells me what the temp is in my house and outside:) SO I try and judge from that what kind of day its going to be. In this outfit I was loving the warmth that day! SO much I was sweating from running back and forth between shots.. I had to fold up my neck strap on my camera and prop the lens on it so I could get a somewhat ok shot...not in focus but you still get the jist of it right?!!
Well A. I love love love these sandals got them at Target this spring and have gotten so many complements on them, especially from older ladies which I find interesting:) I see this style of shoe everywhere and decided I needed them. I rarely buy anything not on sale, but I got these free,, for my birthday from a friend, with a gift card!! YAYYY! (Thanks Jo Jo Bean)

Skirt is from Forever 21 $12
V-neck from Pac Sun $7
Lace overlay hand me down (Express tank that she cut in half)
Shoes from Target *free I think they were like $22 or something
Bracelets from Barcelona *leather with metal clasps my fav things ever <3 you Rachelle Rose

This outfit isnt super cool or anything, I just really like the pictures and its been awhile since Ive gotten to take pictures of myself.
