You've probably already witnessed by now on several occasions that my daughters love to dress 'old-fashioned' part of the time--or as much as I will cater to them anyway! Thank goodness my mom (a.k.a. Grandmom) has swooped in for the rescue with her wonderfully sewn skirts, aprons, and thrift store finds she's mailed up to us--as well as other family and friends who have contributed to the 'old-fashioned-attire' cause!
These are the outfits the older girls wore strawberry pickin' day before yesterday. So here's how we got the look! If you'd like to know how incredibly simple these outfits are, come take a peek!
All we have here is 1.) a white dress with a ruffled skirt on the bottom, or 2.) a skirt with ruffled bottom (see this super-simple way to make a petticoat skirt) and a sleeveless blouse on top--paired with an apron. What's really neat about this is that switching out aprons changes the whole look--how's that for easy....??!! My kinda deal! The pink apron above we just found at a thrift store for $2.
And these other aprons were my Grandma Cady's aprons...
This black apron my mom made very simply with a ribbon threaded through a folded hem at the top....
Throw in the coordinating scarf...and Voila! Here ya go--you're off to go shell peas...or go churn some butter....or just go look adorably old-fashioned!
