What I'm Wearing: Tench Coat Christmas gift {H&M} // Polka-dot 1940s Swing Dress made by me {pattern review} // Emerald Green Cardigan Target // Seamed Tights F21 // Oxfords F21 // Friendship Bracelets made by me // Vintage Pin Antique Mall // Pearl Clustered Earrings Claire's
Hello everyone! As you can tell we are back home; have been since Sunday evening. I might do one or two more posts this week. But most of the posts coming up at the end of this week (and all of next week) will be scheduled {along with more guest bloggers!}.
For Valentines today I decided to dress 1940s. Gabrielle did my hair last night {with a curling iron}! Yes, my hair really holds curls well overnight. And then I wore a red tint on my lips & a touch of rouge on my cheeks.
Today I've been making a ton of friendship bracelets in a bunch of colors. This is in fact, my first time ever making them. I used to wear them about ten years ago - and loved them! They have to be my favorite type of bracelet as they don't make a bunch of noise, or feel funny on my wrist. In fact, I forget I'm even wearing them.
I absolutely loved this, Ashley! I would totally wear it!
