I like vintage looks. I have a tacky gene that loves to mix prints. I have fun trying new things with my hair. I'm a bargain hunter and hardly ever buy an item full price. I love to sew, and feel pleased as punch when I wear something of my own design.

In The Navy
Hoops, Bracelets, and Rings: Gifts from Hubby
Dress, Belt, and Heels: Gifts from Mom
Wow, I just realized I am wearing an all "Gifted" outfit!
I have been searching for Navy heels FOR.EV.ER! Mom asked if I'd like to go Birthday shopping, I of course said, "Yes!" :o) I tried an a couple of cute shoes. I cried a bit over a really cute pair a half size too small. Then I found them. The perfect Navy pumps. The heel is not too high, the T strap is darling, they are suede, and they have PEEP TOES!
Ok, so we couldn't just walk out of the store after only browsing through the shoes! I found bunches of stuff to try on. So much so that my future Sister-in-Law had to take in half of the clothes for me in the dressing room. She didn't even have ONE THING to try on. She handed me the stack of clothes after we got our garment numbers and sat patiently in the empty stall beside me. (I hesitated to type "stall", it made it sound like a public restroom, but that's what they are. Right?)
When I showed Mom this dress, she said, "Sold!" When I told her that I really needed the shoes more than the dress, she matter of factly informed me she was buying BOTH! :o)
This morning my 7 year old gifted me a Lego watch. I may or may not wear it every.single.day! :o)
Hurray for Birthday Gifts!
JJ
PS: Yes, the cute little photo bomber is holding a toothbrush. It's not even his, he swiped his brother's before coming out!
PS(again): His outfit was a gift from my Mom too!!!! I am so Blessed. :o)

Hi JJ and happy birthday to you. Your dress is absolutely gorgeous. I love the golden studs. They add a very classy style to the dress. Love the small golden belt. Your shoes are awesome. Love the straps. And I love your bangles. Looks like there is blue in it too? Your son is adorable. Look at his cute little toes. So cute.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely birthday.

Yes on the blue...they are navy blue leather cords with the gold tubes strung on each, then meeting at a gold buckle in the back. The dress is Calvin Klein and the belt came with it. :o)
