For the last year I’ve been obsessed with buying vintage clothing. I love the fit, the fact that I am shopping consciously, and that I have unique pieces that I can pass down to Emma. I feel like there is a story to tell with every vintage piece I buy, even if it is just a simple top or belt. This particular dress I purchased from Poppycock Vintage on Etsy and when I saw it I just knew it would be the perfect 4th of July dress. I paired it with a belt that I actually got from another Etsy store that I absolutely love called Soleil Collective. Both of these shops have such amazing finds and the sweetest shop owners. It is such a pleasure and so special to shop at small businesses, you see how much love and passion goes into what they do.

This particular evening we went to Fossil Creek Reservoir which is right by our house. Emma and I got to play dress up and my husband captured some sweet moments that I hope she will cherish forever.
