Peaches and Cream

I recently acquired my first two peach colored items of clothing and wondered why it took me so long. The color is perfect for warmer weather and very flattering to my skin tone.  Unfortunately my life is not full of events that require much dressing up because I have quite a collection of formal attire. These impractical dresses are too pretty to pass up. I think I'm just going to dress up more often. Life is too short not to. Here's to dressing up more and the lovely color peach. There are quite a few ways to wear this wonderful 1960s dress. I got it last week at Crimson & Clover Vintage of course.
 Alaric found this amazing 1980s shirt at Crimson and Clover.
This afternoon was spent lounging at the river and watching Bea and her cousin play. The weather was absolutely perfect and it was good to spend some time outside before it rains tomorrow. We spent some time discussing how enormous the oil spill in the Gulf is. It is something that has been on my mind lately. the environmental impact is going to be huge and since nothing like this has ever ever happened all the results are difficult to project.   I am wearing the sweater I won from Rare Treasure Vintage.
shorts and shirt: secondhand


shorts:diy

Wolves!





Here are some pics from yesterday which we spent relaxing for the most part. Usually I wear this dress while going out but I felt festive despite not wanting to do anything. Having a day off is important. The dress is an authentic 1960's uniform from Bows & Arrows.  Alaric's shirt is from Crimson & Clover. Today we ventured out of the house and found some amazing stuff while going thrifting this morning. In the afternoon we visited a bird sanctuary and had so much fun birdwatching.
