I was so excited about my new lipsticks I completely forgot to talk about the new fabric I bought!
These three were on clearance at Joanns and will all end up being pretty, fluffy full skirts! My favorite is the purple flowers, I was thinking of making a yellow sleeveless blouse to go with it. I'm already working on a white shirt sleeve button up blouse for the other two skirts.
The aqua gingham and cherry print were so pretty I had to buy them, and they will be dresses. Gingham has become my new favorite fabric. If it is in the wrong color it can look kinda picnic tablecloth-ish though. I think the aqua is subtle and delicate and will be pretty as a dress. I was thinking something along the lines of
Vivien of Holloway's 1950's halterneck gingham dress. I first saw it on
The Freelancer's Fashion Blog in yellow and loved it. I'm not about to pay a crap load of money for a dress though. Especially not the same one another blogger has. So I figured I would make my own! And not in yellow since I already made a yellow gingham skirt. (I'll do a post on that later.)
The retro cherry dress is very common and kinda stereotypical. I really like it though, lol but I want to do something more unique than a halter or wiggle dress. The will be a red midriff and the bodice, short sleeves and circle skirt will be the cherry print.

Today Gabe and I walked down the street to the giant sundial. It was so nice out! I didn't have to wear a coat or a jacket or even a cardigan!
OH! Last night Gabe said mama! I walked in the room talking to Marz and Gabe looked up at me as I walked past him and said "mama" with a smile. Making both Marz and myself gape at him with our mouths wide open! Okay, okay, that was just me hahah, but Marz was surprised too!
There's Gabe with Sophie the giraffe! And here is a sneaky peaky of my new lipstick, which I will be reviewing later.
