Weekly Wears: Littlest Helper

Okay, this edition of Weekly Wears was equal parts amazing and hilarious.  As you know, we've been packing and moving junk all week.  Johnny was out of the house and the sun was going down, so I asked my sweet little Hope if she could shoot some pictures for me.  She, of course, said yes (because she's an awesome helper) and here's what we came up with:

Dress: from my sweet pal Leah of Sookie Says,  Shirt: UO,  Tights: Target,

Boots: c/o Blowfish Shoes,  Necklace: c/o Shlomit Ofir,  

Heaband: c/o Sunshine and Carousels,  Purse: c/o Francesca's Collections

I'm pretty stinking impressed.  She did great!

Have a great Friday (I almost said Thursday), friends!  I'm off to Springfield (again this week- yes I am insane) for another photo shoot with my gals.  It's going to be a good one!  xoxo Katie

Weekly Wears: Extra Fancy

I have been looking for any excuse to use my new sewing machine lately.  My plush gig is mostly a hand-sewn job, so I've been delving into the pile of fixer-uppers.  I bought this dress online recently and it was most unflattering on me.  And while my sewing machine skills may be slightly lacking, it was fun altering it all the same.  Plus, a bow tie makes every dress feel extra fancy.  ;)

Dress:  Vintage (from Fancy Tree House)

Cardigan:  Free People

Tights:  c/o We Love Colors

Shoes:  c/o Blowfish Shoes

This is what the dress originally looked like:

While the dress looked great on her, it was less than stellar on me.  I removed the sleeves, slimmed the body (because the bust was too big), and changed the neckline.  There you have it-- an unwearable dress turned wearable!  :)

Now it's time to make someone's day!  The winner for the Little Luck Tree Holga giveaway is:

Jo, I've passed your email address on to Shannon!

Have a great day, friends!  xoxo Katie

Weekly Wears: Anchors Away

I have been drooling over these Blowfish Blyth booties since the middle of summer, and I was SO happy when we got the perfect weather for them!  70 degrees, overcast, and totally perfect... oh, except we were supposed to be having a pool party that day.  Hope's birthday party was ALMOST rained out, but it ended up clearing up at the last minute and the kids ended up having such a great time.  :)

Dress: ASOS

Tights: Target

Boots: c/o Blowfish

Just in case you were wondering, I didn't wear this to the pool party.  ;)  Happy Thursday!

xoxo Katie

Music Monday and Blowfish Winner

I could probably listen to Stacy and/or Sherri sing all day.  I may or may not have a teeny bit of a girl crush when it comes to them.  Maybe.  ;)



AND... I'm sure you're wanting to know about the Blowfish Shoes winner. 

Congratulations, Sparklegirl.  You win shoes.  Really good ones.
I'll email you soon.

Happy Monday, friends!  xoxo Katie

Weekly Wears: Pink Parade

This shirt.  I almost left without buying this shirt.  Obviously I would have been a crazy person, since it IS my new favorite shirt!

 

Shirt: vintage,  Skirt: Target kid's clearance

Belt: old standby,  Tights: Ebay,  Shoes: c/o Blowfish,  Barrettes and Necklace: vintage,

Brooches: c/o Under the Shade of a Bonsai Tree,  Rings: Cookoorikoo and unknown

I almost never wear pink.  I don't know why, I really do like the color.  Hope kept telling me all day yesterday how extra pretty she thought I looked.  She's definitely a fan of pink.  ;)

Two things:  don't forget to sign up for the Blowfish giveaway if you haven't already, and I'm now accepting sponsors for the month of August.  If you have any questions, feel free to email!

xoxo Katie
