Little Bow Peep

Outfit Details:

Peach dress with bow: Newman & Hall

Basically Amazing Socks in Ivory: ModCloth

Kimchi Blue white t-bar flats: Urban Outfitters

Painted Heart Ring: Urban Outfitters

I ordered this lovely dress at the same time I ordered this one, both from Newman & Hall.  I'm so in love with their shop!  When I received both dresses, the pink one fit perfectly, and this peach one seemed to have too much fabric at the back.  I was going to get it tailored before I wore it, but after I tried it on for a second time, I realized that I could definitely wear it prior to tailoring!  There is a bit of extra room in the back, but it couldn't keep me from wearing this adorable dress!

Surprise!  Steven showed up when I was talking pictures!

I love this big bow!  I was originally going to call this post "Peaches and cream," but decided against it when I realized that all I needed was a bonnet and a shepherd's crook to look like I was smack dab in the middle of a nursery rhyme.  

I hate taking pictures on hazy, cloudy days.  I know that's probably the opposite of how most photographers feel, but I don't know enough (read: anything) about photography to get the lighting or color balance to be how I want it to be otherwise.

I normally wouldn't include this picture in a post, but this is when I saw Steven arrive mid-photo, and I thought it was kind of cute.

Have a lovely Saturday!

It's time to put on makeup / It's time to dress up right

Miss Piggy Party Dress: I'm Your Present

Care to Dance? Wedge in Petal: ModCloth (also available directly through BAIT)

Lavender belt: ASOS

Lilac Hair Bow: Clip a Bow Boutique

Parasol: Pinup Girl Clothing

I ask you, could there be a more perfect dress for me than a novelty print that involves puppets (ESPECIALLY the Muppets)?  I've been long-obsessed with this dress.  I'm a big fan of Kelly over at I'm Your Present, and she originally had this dress as a one-of-a-kind dress that was far too small for me.  Luckily, she started listing custom order dresses with the same charming fabric!  Her pieces are so wonderfully nostalgic and fantasy-driven!  They also include the cutest things with their orders -- little unicorn rings, stickers, candies.  Just really sweet and adorable. 

Miss Piggy is the ultimate glamour drama queen.  She is silly and girly and I love her.

In other news, today's post marks my 100th blog post!  Crazy, no?  Time has flown since I started this blog back in February.  Appropriately enough, I now have more than 100 likes on my Facebook page!  Hooray and thank you to those who both follow me and have liked my page!  You guys are the best.

Petticoat junction

Outfit Details:

Virginia Dress: eShakti

Red belt: Pinup Girl Clothing (sold out)

Petticoat: eBay

White flats: yeswalker

Heart necklace: ASOS (sold out)

Oh, eShakti, how I love thee.  

I actually scored this dress from eShakti's overstock section.  They make it super easy to search for pieces in your size at discounted prices.  Most of all, I love eShakti because of their amazing customization options!  I think it's pretty amazing that they give such accurate measurements for sizes, and that you can provide your exact measurements so they can make a dress that's specially made just for you!  Sometimes sizing can be really difficult when shopping online, and eShakti has truly made it a breeze.  I also love that you can have pocket, sleeve, neckline and hemline customization for an incredibly reasonable price.  I can't think of any other company that does that.

This dress turned out to be a little longer than I'd expected (though if I'd ordered it at full price, I would have been able to customize that!), but it's perfect with a petticoat underneath.  This outfit turned out to be really patriotic-looking - whoops!  Maybe I'll wear it for the fourth of July or something. 

Whoops, upside down necklace.  I still like the picture.

Obligatory petticoat reveal

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
