Betty Le Bon Bon ... Always goes off with a Bang!

This is a ‘what I wore yesterday’ post (with a tangent towards the end. I like tangents). Deadly Dames swing dress from Pinup Girl Clothing, belt came with it. Cardigan was also from PUG, but I don’t believe it’s a house brand. The flats are black/white zebra print with bright pink bows on the toes, bought in an odd little shoe shop just off Puckle St. Accessories are largely Betty Le Bonbon. You can just see my little man’s feet. He’s wearing ugly crocs. You’ll never, ever see me in a pair of those, but despite their lack of aesthetic appeal, GOOD LAWD they’re an amazing little-boys shoe - he can put them on himself with no fuss whatsoever, they’re easy for him to wear, and when he gets them all filthy I can just throw them in a bucket of soapy water and dry them off with no drama. And man does he get filthy. Even though he’s being brought up by a frou frou prissy pants like myself, he’s still inherently boyish and jumps in puddles, loves dirt and mud, and collects snails and other crawly ground-dwellers like they’re going out of fashion. A former neighbour of mine who was also a single mother to a boy once told me this story about opening up her freezer and finding half a dozen snap-bags full of … assorted creepy crawlies her son had found in the garden. She has a look, there’s a grasshopper, a couple of worms, A FREAKING HUNTSMAN SPIDER. Add that to the list of Moments in my Son’s Life That I am Not Looking Forward to.
