What a crazy few weeks it's been! We celebrated Christmas and Thanksgiving last week and I'm starting my new job this week. Lots going on but I've missed blogging! I'm glad to be home and at my comfy little desk again.
I have been having a blast with my new tripod and remote. It makes outfit photos so much easier, especially because it entertains the kids. I set my tripod up, get into position and Rhys snaps away! He's my official Junior Blog Photographer, and isn't he great!? This is his first selfie.
Just testing the light....
On Thanksgiving, I wore a dress that I have never had a chance to wear. I found it in a dark, dirty warehouse, piled up with other clothes and with some sad stains and rips. I finally got around to fixing it on Thanksgiving day. It still has a strange black mark on one of the lapels that I cant remove so I may have to bedazzle it to match the rhinestones on the collar and hip. I never thought that bedazzling vintage was a good idea but here, it might work!
I also wore my vintage mink stole, which I think I have worn in public maybe once. I found these little fellas a while back at a flea market. There are so few occasions that are fancy enough for fur that I may just start wearing it to the grocery store
Outfit
1940s dress- warehouse sale
1940s mink stole- flea market, Wentzville, MO

Super cute! Rhys sweater is adorable too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a girl, I would always buy all the minks I found at yard sales. I liked them better than stuffed animals. I think I need to go find them...
ReplyDeleteoh that is so sweet! My kids love my furs, especially the ones with faces! I love to make the little clip move so it looks like they're talking. My son laughs so hard!!
DeleteI love the dress! What a cool find!! And what a cute selfie! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear what happens at the grocery store:) I think some people just take it too serious. I wouldn't buy a today's fur but these are just a piece of history now. I own one fur trimmed coat from the 30s and a couple of fur trims. I also love your hair color. Very lovely dear Brittany.
ReplyDeleteI agree, there are too few occasions to wear furs! My poor foxes have been neglected so far!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is darling! I love the color and it's perfect for the holiday!

You look wonderful in that dress! And your junior photographer is so cute, he looks like he's having a great time snapping pics! :)
ReplyDeleteYour kids are too cute! And you look soooo glamorous! I guarantee you will be the best dressed and most fabulous mommy pushing a cart at the grocery store. I'm a stay at home mom, and sometimes I go a little glam even to ballet class, because there seriously are too few occasions for fur and glamour. Your hair looks great too!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteStunning! x

You look amazing - especially in those self-shots. And the last photo is one of my favourites^^ The fur matches the colour of the dress perfectly. Your son looks adorable and so eager to get a perfect shot with the remote^^ His sweater is just too cute^^
ReplyDeleteGive your darling little photographer a hug from Denmark. He's too cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that dress! The color looks amazing on you. And those furs....stunning. I
ReplyDeleteYou are a such a lovely lady, Brittany!
ReplyDeleteI adore fur stoles, but I can't help but feel like a bug under a microscope when people stare at me. And it's funny because I have been a vegetarian and currently only eat fish and chicken because I am a pretty big animal lover (but I needed more sources of protein in my diet).
Also, cutest selfie ever! LOL
Gadzooks, darling gal, you look ravishingly beautiful and just as sophisticatedly elegant and mink fur is soft. Gorgeous ensemble - I love your darling little photographic assistant, too.
