My mom wasn't really one to hold on to a lot of our childhood things. We were a military family and we moved a lot so my mom was really good at purging all of the unnecessary. But she did hold on to special things for us to have later on.
One of them was this dress. My MawMaw Anna made it for me when I was a baby. My sister and I both wore it. And now our girls can wear it. I love the fabric of this dress, I love the snap straps. I'm gonna try to knock it off and make her a few more like it because it's perfect for throwing on when it's warm out. Also it looks great over a tee.
Luke had hockey practice that night and it gets cold in there so she wore a sweater over it. This girl is so darn skinny, the sweater is a 6month one that she's been wearing for a year and a half!!
On August:
Dress: Vintage handmade
Shoes: Toms-Silver Sparkles
Purse: Olivia tote from Barnes and Noble
On Luke:
Tee: South of the Border
Shorts: Old Navy
Shoes: Converse from the GapKids

Yay!!! Another hockey mom!!! My son plays hockey too. :) That dress is adorable. And extra special because it was made for you. How great is that.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish my mother had held on to more of our clothes! How incredible to be able to dress your little one in something made for you. Love.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is really cute! She looks so cute sitting there with her purse!

So adorable, and such a sweet history to the dress.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your kids are SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with those Tiny Toms! I want some for my daughter, but I am horrible at guessing sizes (even when I measure). I might just have to go for it, though.
I love you daughter's dress. Some of my favorite things that my daughter wears are my old clothes, not only because they're cute, but they're special, too.
Thanks so much for linking up! :)
