Last weekend was a well spent one
On Saturday Tim and I took a walk around one of our nearby lakes, Don Castro Lake. This is one of my favorite lakes to walk around because the footpath becomes very narrow in places and is little more than a patch of worn bare dirt surrounded by trees and lush undergrowth for the better part of the path. Walking along this quiet lake, tramping through this densely grown footpath, it is easy to forget we are so close to civilization, and not hard to image we are deep in a forest somewhere.
On Sunday, we changed it up a bit by going to the nearby historic waterfront town of Alameda where we met up with a friend and saw the new Key and Peele cat comedy movie, Keanu, at the newly renovated historic Alameda theater. We all enjoyed the movie a lot. And then, for an extra treat, enjoyed playing at the 80's arcade, High Score, across the street.
It was a great weekend and was definitely good to get out in a relaxed kind of way.
Outfit of the Day (Saturday):
For the walk around the lake I picked my Trashy Diva Dorothy dress in Irish Polka. I love how easy to wear and how comfortable this dress is. Because we were going to do a lot of walking, I paired this with black Sketcher Go Walks, my go to shoes for heavy walking while in a dress.

Outfit of the Day (Sunday):
Because we were off to see a cat comedy I knew I had to dress in cat theme. I figured my Trashy Diva Cage dress in Smoke Leopard would be the perfect dress. After all, it was a gangster themed cat comedy. ;) I paired this with a black knit bolero by Elle which I got from Kohl's a couple years ago, and a pair of basic black flats. For a finishing touch, and to add some fun little cat details, I also wore this with a pair of oversized cat cameo stud earrings I got a couple years ago from a local retro shop, Vintage Alley, and a cute kitty brooch by Lumpy Buttons which I got c/o Cats Like Us last year. I also added a black sequin headband to my outfit to jazz things up even more.

I love both dresses, particularly the second look. Did you like the movie? It looks very cute and I want to see it when it comes to dvd
ReplyDeleteThank you Katherine! Yes! It was a really good movie. A lot better than I was expecting from the previews. :) Plus, it was cute with the kitten running around :)
DeleteI love the first dress :-)
ReplyDeleteI have very big wood just a stone throw from my home, so it`s been a similar experience that you feel like the civilization is gone, lol
Thank you Claire! It's so great being around these patches of woods. I'm glad places like these exist so close to neighborhoods :)
DeleteLove the leopard print dress on you and the neckline, such a great look on you! xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Camilla! :D <3
DeleteOh I have the Dorothy dress in tropical print, it is my go to dress for summer as I always wear it to the beach! Love the neckline on the second dress and the adorable brooch - very appropriate for the outing.. I love to team with the theme too. Gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteThank you Kayla! It's a great dress isn't it? So comfortable! I love the tropical print in it! That purple contrast at the ties is so pretty! And yes! Dressing in theme is so much fun! :D <3
DeleteAren't 80s style arcades the best? There's one still (it also has go carts and a miniature golf) about an hour away from us and the epic wave of nostalgia that it brings back is always a blast. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty outfits! Love your felt kitty brooch. What an adorable accessory.
Have a stellar first week of May,
♥ Jessica
Thank you Jessica! And wow! Your 80's arcade sounds epic! Ours is really small with no cards or miniature golf but has a lot of the old original games :) I'm glad to hear you have such a fun place not far from you! Hope you have a fantastic first week of May too! :)
