Life With Pie

I know what you're thinking- didn't she just do a pie themed outfit? It's an old (but still true) adage that one thing leads to another and this is certainly the case wtih novelty pieces such as my Cherry Pie Bag from Betsey Johnson.  It seems that now that I have this bag, my brain is searching for other pie-themed things with which to pair it.  

After searching for some fabric to make my own dresses, I found some Cherry Pie by Gail Cadden for Timeless Treasures fabric on Etsy, and bought it.  I then remembered how Retrolicious always has fun novelty prints and stopped by there only to find a dress already made in the exact fabric I had just bought.  

Honestly, there are times when I don't mind doing the work myself so I can save some money, but sometimes I would much rather just pay someone else to do all the work for me.  This is one of those times when I would much rather pay someone else to do the work and I do love supporting smaller brands like Retrolicious.  So, I bought the cute little skater dress and I have the fabric too so I can make my own one day.

While I was at Retrolicious, I also got a cute little red plaid top, which I thought would go nicely with the dress and another little cherry dress from the same fabric collection, which I will be featuring soon.  (Gosh, times like this I really miss Fabric.com, but I guess I'll save that rant for another post.)  It goes with the bag but isn't quite as on the nose as the pie themed stuff and both these cotton dresses are perfect for summer.
