Sock Hop Party Theme Part Two

If you missed it, I spoke about this themed party in this post. Though I wanted to share more of the photos from Miss Roo's 5th birthday. It all started with the invitations:

A few retro candies to embellish the tablescape:

 The Sock Hop Themed Tablescape:

 I hit up a thrift shop for some old records to make a 3 tiered cupcake stand. It was a huge hit with parents!
Kids however, were much more interested in the milkshake cupcakes.

A collage of random party decor:

 The birthday girl wanted a poodle skirt. After many failed attempts at cutting a poodle out of felt we settled on a music note. Perfect since our playlist of 50's hits was a huge part of the theme.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this theme! 

Sweet Seconds with Roo - Spring Shopping

Well I hit up a fairly new second hand shop in town. It's called Toys n' Style and believe me when I say the clothing is top notch. I didn't find much that was out of style. Most of the clothes seemed to be in great condition and very reasonably priced. I hope that doesn't change.

Anyway, my fashionista was VERY happy with our finds, and more than willing to do a fashion show!

She got all this and much more for under $50. SO if you are local check them out. They can be found on Facebook here; https://www.facebook.com/pages/Toysnstyle/109976895734607

Sweet Seconds Tokyo Fashion edition

I love shopping but I don't love spending! So when I find a pricey look that I love, I try to recreate it from second hand shops or clearance bargains!

This is the look I saw online and wanted to recreate for Roo. With the turtleneck, the cardi, the dress and tights the outfit was a buget busting $178:

Only since Roo is only 3 I wanted to go for a slightly more fun and sassy version, and lose the romantic feel of the pink turtle neck and add maybe a black bolero, instead of a white cardi:

This is the look we came up with for a cool $13:

Leggings: Second Hand $2.00

Dress: Second Hand $6.00

Boots: Walmart Clearance $5.00
