This past weekend I got to go out in two of my favorite dresses
On Friday after work Tim and I went out to San Francisco for a farewell party for a friend of a friend. While we didn't know the friend that was leaving too well, it was great to add to the festivities and bid congratulations and good luck on things to come to the guy that was leaving for school in Southern California.
Saturday we spend the better half of the day lounging around the house and just enjoying some quiet time at home.
On Sunday, for Father's day, we got to go out with my dad and took him and my step mom out for lunch then went out for ice cream at his favorite place, The Ice Creamery in Castro Valley.
It was a fun weekend with perfect weather and the perfect amount of going out and staying in.
Outfit of the Day:
Friday:
For this night's festivities, since we don't usually make it out to the city too often, nor often really go out at night, I decided to really dress up with my super special Trashy Diva Crazy Circles Obi dress. What makes this dress so special? First, it is 100% silk. But even more so, I absolutely adore the print! Because it's silk only makes the beautiful, vivid, and crazy colors on this print stand out all the more. I was lucky enough to find this dress on ebay one day several months back. It cost me a pretty hefty pretty penny but to me, this dress is worth its weight in gold! I paired this dress with Jessica Simpson Mandalay flats from Macy's which I felt went with the obi style and the black contrasting angles of the dress perfectly. Because it's always cold at night in San Francisco I also paired this with my 3/4 sleeve black mohair cardigan.

Sunday:
For Father's day on Sunday I decided to wear an oldie but goodie, one of my all time favorite dresses, and my second ever Trashy Diva dress, the Trashy Diva Streetcar dress in brown plaid. Now, why they call it brown plaid is beyond me. Sure, it has brown in it, but it always seemed like it most certainly should have been called purple plaid to me. I wore this with black flats which I got from Nordstrom Rack. I actually forgot to bring a cardigan with me when we stepped out with dad. After lunch though Tim and I ran around a bit to take care of errands for which we went back home so I could grab my pink Mak cardigan which I also got from Trashy Diva.

It was a super fun weekend that was made all the more fun by wearing two of my most favorite dresses!
That obi dress is amazing on you, love the colours! The Streetcar dress looks so lovely with the pink cardigan. It sounds like you had a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeleteThanks Kayla! The colors are definitely one of my favorite things about this Obi dress! And the Streetcar remains one of my favorites too! <3
DeleteI really love both dresses particularly the plaid
ReplyDeleteretro rover
Thanks Katherine! Any reason to dress up in big bows for me! <3
DeleteBoth dresses look so lovely on you!! I've never seen that crazy circles one, before!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bristol! So much fun! I always love seeing the older silks on a person. Especially if it's one I haven't seen before! <3
DeleteI love both dresses on you, I think my fav is the plaid one though! ;) I noticed too your wearing those shoes by Jessica Simpson, I've been eying them on other girls, who I also follow their blogs! They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Camilla! I bought these shoes when I found them on sale after hearing about them from the Junebugs and Georgia Peaches blog. When I first tried them on in the store they were as comfortable as those girls claimed. However, there is a design flaw. The back part of the shoe that hold the elastic straps are made with patent leather type material even on the inside of the shoe so it was constantly catching and rubbing on the back of my heel all night long. It only took the walk from the car to the restaurant to realize it was a problem. I think I'll be able to fix it with sticking some moleskin on the inside but it's sad that they made the shoe this way. It would have been the perfect shoe otherwise.
DeleteI adore that plaid dress! Like, truly, adore it. :-) I'll see if I'm able to fit that into the sewing rota sometime this season. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you do Lily!!!! I'd LOVE to see what you come up with! You're dresses are always so amazing! <3
DeleteBeautiful dresses, both of them. I love silk dresses, they feel so luxurious to wear. I vaguely recall the obi dress, but don't think I'd seen the 'brown' plaid one before. I love the bow at the neck, such a great detail.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely weekend.

Thank you Porcelina! This was my first time ever wearing a silk dress! The feeling all night was amazing. Such a great fabric! And Yes! I love the bow at the neck of the plaid dress! I want all the bow neck dresses! hehe ;)
