Playing Dress Up

Why hello, this is Katie of Butterfly Love Snapdragons! I am currently sitting on the couch watching as somewhat of a blizzard takes place outside. Good thing I can cozy up with hot chocolate and pictures to edit! Are any of you getting snowed in where you are?

This is a dress I swapped with the gorgeous Jessi of Haircut and General Attitude. It really is a fantastic piece and was oh so fun to style! I decided it was the perfect time to try my hand at milkmaid braids and I quite liked the result. I also had fun mixing some of my favorite colors. In my closet there is not a single color that doesn't work with sea foam green. I will literally pair it with every color from plum to red and everything in between.

 

I love fur stoles with anything in the wintertime. They are so cozy and something special to any little dress or blazer. They need to be vintage for me to buy them though! 

I find that with the pieces I swap from the other girls I tend to play dress up a bit more and come out with a slightly different style than would normally come from my own closet. I can be more playful and channel that girl's style a bit. I have to get in character, let's say. I always loved that role in my theatre experience. Helping to choose wardrobe items for different characters to wear on stage was just so fun for me. Now I do that in my daily life too-what do I want to be today: a housewife, a 40's secretary, a brash prairie woman (I am a South Dakotan you know.)?

Endless, wonderful possibilities!

 

And here is how the lovely owner, Jessi, as well as Elana from Room 334 styled this beauty! I absolutely love how they styled it,  the dress looks gorgeous on both of them.

I hope you get to do something this week that makes you feel like a kid again. Whether it is an impromptu snowball fight, licking the spoon when you're making cookies, or just watching a nostalgic movie-it's the perfect time of year to let yourself have a bit of fun. 

God Bless!

John 15:5,8

Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.
