To Dress a Vintage Bump

  



 

Busy weekends with so many things to do!  We had an engagement party on the Saturday, and a family BBQ Sunday afternoon.  Our silly season is off and racing, and I haven’t even thought about Christmas yet. 

What is even more crazy is that all our running around started in the beginning of November…  Whew! No wonder I’m tired already ~ : P

So I’ve got a little secret.

I wore this same 30s inspired outfit two days in a row.  …> >…

Shh!  Don’t tell!  But seriously, two different parties, two different crowds.  No one knows except my hubby and the little one, and they aren’t going to say anything, so we are all good right?!

xox,

Try saying that five times fast!  ; )




 

So this is my take on a sporty 50s look ~ as you can tell by the title of course! 

I think the pony tail, shoes, socks, and blouse are right, but if I wasn’t 20 weeks pregnant I definitely would have changed my skirt for a classic circle skirt ~ the perfect finishing touch.  Unfortunately, I don’t have any that fit at the moment…
  
Oh, the woes and problems ~ right?    > X <

Like the fact that early one morning, my sewing machine started sewing all by itself…..

And it wouldn’t stop!

*dadda-dum-da!*

Time for eerie music and ghost stories?? 

…No, actually, my foot pedal has shorted so now I cannot work on my new dress.  >: P   

Oh well, it’s not all bad ~ I can borrow my sister-in-law’s foot pedal in the mean time, so I hope to finish my dress anyway.  It’s going to be awesome I think, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see what everyone else thinks to really know.  : )

xox,

I have been wanting to write this post for the last two weeks, but as I recently procured a new notebook to replace my old laptop {11” Mac Air – eee!}, I couldn’t actually write it until Hubby set up a virtual computer to host Windows on.  Once he did that, I could finally access Live Writer again. 

Apparently there is not one good PC based blogging platform for Macs at all.  Wordpress is supposed to be the best web-based blogging platform available, but frankly, I really dislike their set up for handling photographs.  Of course, this blog is quite picture-heavy, so that’s kind of a little important!

Anyway, I’m finally back – yay!  : )  

Now to the heart of the post ~ I love how simple this outfit is!  Cute heels, cute dress, a pretty updo, and I am ready to take on the world, pregnant or no!

It’s so easy that I think I’m going to live in floaty vintage dresses this summer.  A forgiving, but cute dress is the perfect uniform when your figure is constantly changing, and even more relevant, when it’s super hot.   >  <

I aim to sew at least two dresses to add to my limited supply ~ as over half my dress wardrobe no longer fits.  I do hope to eke out the ones that do a little longer.  I also may have one or two new items to show you, but they’ll have to wait until later.  ; )

xox,
