Polka Dots!

The other day, I wore my favorite dress I've gotten from Laura's Vintage. My mom bought it for me while she was here visiting this summer and it's all my I Love Lucy dreams come true.

I wore it to the vet for my miniature schnauzer Pearl's annual exam (it went well, free of parasites and her seizure med levels are good!). And then, I went to Panera with my husband for lunch afterwards. It was such a nice day--70s! 

 I love how this dress plays peek-a-boo with my back tattoo.

Back In Your Own Backyard

Or park! My husband and I decided to go to the dog park at Washington Square Park today after taking our miniature schnauzer, Pearl, to the vet this morning for her annual checkup.

It was quite hot and humid and Pearl didn't even pay any attention to the other dogs because she was so miserable. So, we decided to head home and chill out in the A/C. But not before we took a few photos of my outfit for today!

And finally, the infamous tartan pants are from LeBunnyShoppe on Etsy! 

It's been quite a while since I've updated because of just being busy and not thinking to photograph my outfits! I'll try to be better at that from now on.

My Oklahoma Trip!

Some of you might know that I went to Oklahoma to visit my mother last month around the time of my birthday. I met with a ton of my friends and family but sadly didn't meet up with everyone that I wanted because of limited time. 

My main activities were shopping and eating. I honestly didn't do anything else. Haha.

I bought all my vintage from Cheap Thrills (my absolute favourite vintage shop in Tulsa) and  the shoes were from Ross Dress for Less (I wish there was a Ross in Upstate New York). And my mom gave me the Silvertone radio and Starline suitcase!

I also bought some embroidery patterns and supplies from Owl&Drum.

Not to mention, I celebrated my 28th birthday while there and my chinese food takeout wished me a Happy Birthday. 

Sorry I haven't updated with a recent outfit post in a while. It's been terribly cold and I've been a baby about taking photos outdoors! But, I'll post more regularly soon.

Younger than Springtime.

Today, my husband and I helped at my in-law's church for Lemonade on the Lawn after service as a favor to my mother-in-law since she's up in Maine at the moment. It gave me the opportunity to wear my favourite sheer 1950s dress! 

 

The coral colour really reminds me of the decade and pairing it with light accessories is essential. I went with the nude shoes because I felt black would just make everything look too heavy.

Love how my tattoo looks through it!

I love the rhinestone buttons and it's so great that they're nice and clear instead of how old rhinestones sometimes get cloudy with age.

 

Pearl didn't seem too enthused to be in my outfit photos. Ha, she had a pretty rough morning because of her separation anxiety of not getting to go into church with us. But she was an honorary guest at Lemonade on the Lawn in her bag!

My Pearl's TV

My schnauzer has a favourite spot in the apartment. In fact, we set up her fluffy bed right in that spot so she can leisurely sit and enjoy herself.

She even looks back at me if I don't go look with her and is extremely pleased when I stand beside her and look out with her. It's like the best thing in the world I can do and she often snorts (which sounds exactly like a doggie laugh) when I go over with her.

 All the dog figurines on the lamp next to her get to enjoy the view, as well. I mean, why make them watch the actual television all day? The window is so much more awesome.

And as a bonus, I'll add a photo that my husband was kind enough to take of my outfit yesterday where Pearl got to try to pose in!

I wore this lovely outfit yesterday to meet up with a beautiful recent bride to drop off her edited photos of her wedding from this last Saturday! I'll make a separate post just for those!
