Sweater: Tea and Tulips | Pants: Old Navy | Shoes: Night Market in Taiwan | Earrings: Poshlocket giveaway on Beautiful Blendings | Bracelets: Forever 21
Growing up, I was in a family of four, my parents, brother and myself. My brother was 8 years older than me and all his little life he had wished for a sister. He’d throw pennies in the wishing well asking for one (too cute) and his wish came true! My mom dressed me up in all sorts of pink, purple, dresses, bows, anything girly… you name it, I wore it. It’s no wonder that my favorite color is pink and I’m obsessed with bows (case in my point, my former etsy shop).
In my junior year of college, I was known to have lived with two other girls in what was called the “Pink and Purple Palace”. Yes, our pad had a name and yes, we believe we lived in a palace. Our place had a pink Christmas tree, purple couch, pink pillows, purple decor, etc. The alternate name for this place was also the “Jello Shot Factory”, but we’ll keep this blog post PG for now. Anyhow, this vintage sweater brings me back… way back… to all sorts of memories from my childhood/collegehood.
Do you have any clothes that you are still wearing from years ago?
Or pieces that bring your back many years ago?
Hmm, i seem to change my likes and style so often, but i do have a pair of boots that I’ve worn for 6 years! The fact that your brother wished for a sis is the cutest thing ever! And a girly sis you are;)
The photo of you and the baby is adorable 🙂 Love the ribbon sweater
Sandy you are so cute! And yes, to answer your question, I have lots and lots of clothes from years ago. I have really grown much in 15 years, so I’ve kept tons of stuff.

Hmm, I do have a couple Gap shirts (band shirts) from the early 90’s. I also have a bit of a box obsession. I’ll have to send you a photo of my favorite vintage necklace sometimes. It’s linked sterling silver latticework bows.
hmmm I have changed my style as I have gotten older. but shoes have always stayed with me. I am in love with your sweater and your shoes gah so cute
What an adorable look! And your baby is so precious.

Aww how fun!! Those bows are just darling. Bows take me back to frilly dresses and BIG bows in my hair. I swear my mom loved dressing me up 😉
You look gorgeous in that last picture holding little Austin!

We share the same favorite color!
I went back and forth… I was a girly girl when I was really young, then a tomboy, then back to girly girl. Frankly I’m totally okay embracing my girly side!
gah! love your sweater, friend! and you look beautiful. 🙂
Can I live in that palace? What a fun memory!

I love your sparkles and pink shoes, Sandy! What a cute mama you are 🙂
I’d say yes, but truth is I’m not actually wearing them because I can’t fit into them. But I do have them in storage for the day when I can ;o)
loved this post. you are too cute. really dig those pink flats.
I’ve changed my style dramatically since after having kids. When I was younger I HATE wearing skirts and dresses but now love them!
