Well, it is officially fall and I am overjoyed with that! For me, the one thing that makes me fall feel so fallish is PLAID!  So, I’d like to dedicate this VKRR to plaid! Glorious cozy plaid to wear!

This little plaid shirt was too charming for words!  And so wearable! From Etsy seller, Squail.

This is awesome. Plaid + toy toaster + rooster? Why can’t my real toaster look so good? From Etsy seller, Mozzy Starling.

I want this in my size, please! And double breasted as well! From Etsy seller, Wild Rabbit Vintage.

I was so glad when capes came back in style. And this one with the fringe is pretty darn amazing.  From Etsy seller, Auntie Val’s Closet.

A blue plaid is wonderful thing. And this little Miss Brent blue plaid dress is particularly wonderful. From Etsy seller, Odelette.

Could you just imagine how cozy this flannel plaid shirt would be on your kiddo? And only ten clams! From Etsy seller, Julia’s Child Vintage.

Plaid clearly makes adorable stuffed animals as well–like this amazing little plaid corduroy puppy! From Etsy seller FuzzyMama.

As if plaid blouses aren’t adorable enough, this one has a peter pan collar. And what wonderful colors too! From Etsy seller, Salvage House.

I love a good tie. But add plaid and it turns into a GREAT tie! From Etsy seller, Jenny’s Junque.

Behold the perfect little girl skirt. So lovely. From Etsy seller, Storybook Retro.

Happy Monday, folks!

OK. Soooooo it’s been well over a month since we told you about our next pick for the Little Book Report Club. What can I say? We got distracted..and were hopelessly busy. I’m sure you know the feeling! There was life. And work. And then there was the Month of Color. Aaaaand, well. We suddenly smacked our heads and said, “OOPSY!!!” So we are reading it THIS WEEK! It’s short. We’re gonna power through it and you can too! Pick up a copy of From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler here OR swing by your local book store. It’s sooooo fun, I just know you’ll love it!

Well I don’t know about that Eddie Zima Style, but I DO know we are sure loving polka dots over here! As always, we each have our own interpretation  of things. But we’ve both definitely been inspired by polka dot footwear…they are so fun and whimsical, don’t you think? Dottie was workin’ these sassy red flats:

And Alix was feelin’ mighty fine rockin’ these playful spotted oxfords:

FUN! How are you wearing polka dots? Would you ever wear polka dotter shoes too??

May is right around the corner—are you ready to skip on into spring? C’mon let’s go!
