Thriftanista Style File: Zara floral peplum

Feel free to ignore me and keep an eye on V. She photo bombed the entire post.

My outfit is completely thrifted. 

I'm wearing the floral Zara top from the $10 bag sale. I just love that it has a peplum and a tie front. My shorts are from a shorts haul last year when I was on the  hunt for colored walking shorts. The loafers are a DIY project. I added spots to give them a leopard look. I'm ready to transform them again though. I have some ideas...
I wonder if she's instructing bear on how to get to the ball. She is obsessed with it and tries to free it every time we leave the building.

she's done with it

going to play

found a puddle to splash

just rude

(the only pic without her in it BUT there's her stroller)

    Love the top.

    Your child may be talking about you to a shrink some day. "All I wanted to do was play, but Mama kept striking poses..."

    ;) She's precious!

    LOL- I didn't get your captions at first, then I saw your little sweetheart in the reflection of the glass. Hilarious! I really like the colors of this outfit! You should start a link-up for refashioned/repurposed/redesigned clothing. You're so good at it!
