Like many vintage girls, I'm a sucker for nautical things. And leopard print. Together they sing.
Today was my nephew's and cousin's kindergarden graduation, which just happens to be the same school I went to when I was a little girl. It was really cute, and I not only got to see them graduate, but also a lot of children I had known from working at the school when they just started. Seems like yesterday they were all little babies.
It took me a long time to get dressed, because it was one of those "nothing looks good" kind of mornings. But I pulled this pretty little dress off the shelf, and decided to take a chance with a leopard pillbox instead of something matchy, like a cream topper. I really liked the result, one can rarely go wrong with leopard :)
Later Sam and I met my mom at a local Mexican restaurant. I dressed more casual, in sailor denim and a little jersey summer cardigan I got at an estate sale. To make it unique I accessorized with a beret and a fantastic plastic charm brooch my mother got at an estate sale. Yes, my whole family goes to estate sales, we cover more ground that way, hehe :)

I am to a sucker for the leopard print it looks good with anything! Your hat is fantastic x
what a serioulsy cute couple of outfits! I love the leopard skin pillbox. I wish I could pull off hats like you, seriously, you are the hat master!
You are amazingly clad all the time!
I need to find a cardigan like that to go with my similar nautical pants. ~inspired~
Gorgeous! You have such great style and think of such wonderful outfits. I love the nautical theme.
You just look awesome, really inspiring! I'd love a bag like yours, and naturally the loepard print hat too. And the rest of your wardrobe pretty much... :D
Btw, did you know that you and me both were mentioned over at Starlet Showcase a while back? Or pictured at least. For a while there I almost felt like a real blogger, ha, ha. Anyways, have great weekend!

I love both of your outfits, those jeans are freaking adorable and your dress is darling. ♥ Frances Baker is right you are the hat master!
Ohmygoodness! Kitten I didn't even know! I haven't checked that blog for a while, because I always spend so much time going through the photos :)
Atomic mama, I know! It's so odd wearing something lower than my waist, and a pair of red sailor pats would be a dream ;)

So cute! Leopard print gets a bad rap, but I think it's a really classy print if done well.
Both looks are so cute! I too have a weakness for anything nautical. Sometimes it is just so right. I love how you combined leopard and nautical - very chic!
definitely digging the leopard with the nautical - so clever :D!
Fantastic, I lvoe the nautical one, especially the great stripy top :)
You look beautiful in both of these but the nautical second outfit spoke to my heart. Everything is so well put together! :0)
