little house on the prairie

In this outfit I feel like a character straight out of Little House on the Prairie.  All that's missing are the braided pigtails and family farm.  I bought this blouse at The Salvation Army for only $2.50 and I love its coral colour and girly bow.  This skirt cost $4 from Value Village and I was drawn to its length and nautical pattern.  Sometimes it's fun to play dress up, fashion is about not taking ourselves too seriously and playing with colour, textures and patterns.

    Love this top! It looks vintage but also very "now".

    You look too pretty to be spending too much time on the family farm :)

    I love the gold accents, and the blouse/skirt pairing. It's all very 'springtime lovely'!

    Great finds! That blouse and skirt are so very cute! And yes, it's fun to play with fashion and you're right, we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. I find when I'm being playful I definitely feel best!

    Cute look. I really admire that you wear so many colours all the time. Every look you pull of is really interesting and completely different from the previous one. x

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
