Thrifted Tuesday: Sunflowers and Gingham

I make this pose a lot! 
We have been taking a lot of family walks lately.  Now that Cameron is home he can join us at the bird sanctuary in the afternoon, where we go several times a week so David, my father in law, can get some good exercise in.  Each day, he walks a little bit further and it is amazing to watch.  Cohen loves running up and down the, ahem,"troll bridge", thanks Dora, and feeding itsy bitsy spiders bread instead of the evil geese.  Between playing with the kids every morning at the gym nursery, and this walk, he keeps a pretty consistent nap and sleep schedule.  I love that he gets to play with kids everyday and also get outside and enjoy nature every day as well.  He loves learning new things and getting out and about like this is a great way to explore the world around him! 






These pants.....I can barely fit in to them and last year they were loose!  Hopefully I will be able to shed some inches with all of this walking and gym time.  I went through a slugsworth period pretty much all winter and it is taking its toll!  I thrifted them last year and they are my go-to summer pants, so I need to get comfortable in them again!  

I thrifted this top recently and fell in love with the print.  Since it was a bit large, I decided to tie the front ends together to give it a more tailored fit.  I love the cute little sleeves!  I am dying for a yellow dress or skirt in this pattern!  

My mom found a huge loot of picnic baskets at a yard sale and this little purse was a apart of that find.  It's a little wooden clutch that is full of charm and I love her so much for giving it to me!!  

Notice my sunflower crown?  Its kind of hard not too I'm sure.  I was bored one night and wanted to do something crafty, so I made three different flower headbands from old headbands I wasn't using.  Wearing flowers in my hair is my favorite, it adds the perfect amount of whimsy when you need it.  Cam called me his sunflower princess, and any time I get called a princess, its a good day.  

On Mommy:  Top and Jeans (thrifted!)  Flower Crown (DIY)  Flats (Threadsence)  Clutch (Yard Sale, from my Momma)

On Cohen:  Shirt and Jumper (thrifted!)  Curls (I have no idea)

The Dress, The Shoes






Necklace (Yard Sale)  Dress ( Dear Creatures)  Shoes (Swedish Hasbeens)  Knee Socks (Modcloth)  
I haven't posted an outfit in so long!  My main go to photographer, my husband, is finally back in town for a while from Wisconsin and at my disposal to take photos whenever I wish! Yay!  I wanted to model my Mother's Day gifts, aren't these shoes darling??  He did a great job adhering to the list.  Today I felt like a babydoll in this outfit, which I loved.  I adore this flowy, cutesy dress and when I paired it with some knee socks I felt the outfit was perfectly charming.  Our town has a huge yard sale weekend every year and I made a point to go and find something I loved.  I came back about 5 dollars poorer and a key necklace, a retro vintage bag, and a couple of sewing hoops richer.  I love living in a place where yard sales are taken so seriously!  I think every house for 10 miles was having one.

We had a wonderful weekend that began with picking up Cameron from the airport!  The next day we went to the zoo with my family and Cohen had a terrific time.  Having him makes those kind of outings 10 times more exciting than they normally would be.  Last night we had a delightful double date at Buffalo Wild Wings with Derek and Carlie.  I needed those laughs that can only come from Cameron's exaggerated story telling.  I missed him so much!

I hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday!  Im linking up with:
