I'm more or less now catching up with my backlog of Outfits of the Day posts
Saturday (last last week):
Still reeling from the loss of B.K. the week before last I decided to wear this super colorful outfit to help pep me up. I had a friend whose favorite saying was, "look good, feel good" and though I was still sad, it did make me feel better to go out in my
Trashy Diva Turquoise Floral Louise blouse and Trashy Diva chambray circle skirt, even if it was just to Panera Bread to pick up bagels for breakfast. I paired this with a pair of nude flats with sparkly bows by Pazzo which I got from
DSW years ago but somehow never managed to wear them until this day! For a finishing touch I also wore a pair of pink floral stud earrings which I got from
Forever 21 a couple years ago.

Saturday:
Last Saturday was Tim's birthday. We went out to his favorite local sushi place, we walked around our downtown area a bit, and then I took him out to see the new X-Men movie followed by birthday ice cream! The weather was perfect! Warm/verging on hot and towards the evening perfectly warm/slightly cool enough to chose to or not to wear a cardigan. Since I've been wearing some of the dresses that I most love lately I decided to finally take this dress out for a spin--my Trashy Diva Sweetie dress in Pearl Harbor! I love this one so much I've been slightly hesitant to wear it for the first time. But what better occasion than the hubby's birthday to wear one of my most loved dresses? To not distract from the gorgeousness of this print, I paired this dress with a pair of nude flats by Easy Spirit which I got from
Nordstrom Rack last year. For a finishing touch I donned on a faux fruit and straw fascinator which I made myself (see the tutorial
here), a vintage straw purse I found last year on
Etsy, and a simple pair of pale pink pearl studs which were gifted to me several years ago by my Mother-in-law for a Christmas present.

Sunday:
On Sunday we stayed home and had a good relaxing day. For dinner we decided to go pick up some sandwiches at Quiznos. Fresh out of the shower I decided to throw on this red Sweet Sway dress by Steady which I got years ago from
Angry Young and Poor. I paired this with red flats by Ecco which I found last year on Ebay and because my hair was wet and I didn't want to bother with drying it or risk it dripping on my dress I wore a red snood in my hair.

Wednesday:
On Wednesday I had some doctors appointments and ended up taking the day off of work. Though it may seem kind of weird, I decided to wear my red Steady dress again one more time before washing it since I had only spend about 15-20 minutes in it a couple days before. Going against my initial reaction of throwing on a black cardigan with this dress, I decided to pair it with a red cardigan. I like the way it ended up together. For shoes I paired this with black ankle strap flats by Blowfish; I think I might have gotten them several years ago from
Zappos.

Fantastic outfits! Trashy Diva should make you a brand ambassador because you model more of, and do more to highlight their awesome offerings, than anyone I know. If was heading up the company, I'd definitely offer you a position as one.
ReplyDeleteI really like the chambray skirt here. Such a classic, versatile-as-a-pair=of-jeans wardrobe basic. I have a chambray 80s does 50s shirtwaist dress and live in it all year round, just as I'd venture to bet you'll get a ton of wear about this beautiful piece.
Big hugs & happy weekend wishes,
♥ Jessica
LOL Jessica. If I were offered I do not think I'd turn them down! ;) I used to think that I tended to wear mostly Trashy Diva because I favored their dresses the most but when I was doing my Spring/Summer closet rotation I learned that not only do I tend to favor their dresses more when picking out what to wear but my closet is also mostly Trashy Diva... I guess that all just follows suit though ;)
DeleteAnd yes, you are right! The chambray skirt is such an awesome versatile-as-a-pair-of-jeans stable! I don't know why it took me so long to add this piece to my wardrobe! I also love how easy it is to dress it up or down. :)
I really love that Trashy Diva sweetie dress in pearl harbour print on you, also love your little fruit fasinator and wicker bag!
ReplyDeleteThank you Camilla! I love that dress to pieces-- hopefully not literally though ;) And thank you about the wicker! I just love wicker for warmer months! <3
Deleteall very pretty I really love the little fascinator
ReplyDeleteThank you Katherine. I was thinking of adding little flowers on it to balance it out a bit better. Maybe but maybe not.. :)
DeleteI'm so sorry about your beloved kitty, Christina. :( I'm glad wearing your TD made you feel a little better!
ReplyDeleteThat sweetie is amazing on you, and I love it paired with that bag!
Thank you Bristol! She was a good girl. Sometimes when I pet her sister who still comes around I like to pretend it's her. I really love the Sweetie. Thank you very much!
DeleteSmashing selection! TD prints are the best. That little fascinator is great, I just made a flower one for a wedding. I think I need a fruit one next! X
ReplyDeleteThank you Porcelina! I totally agree! I love Trashy's Diva prints! How exciting that you made a fascinator for the upcoming wedding you're going to! I hope you will post pics! And you definitely should make a fruit one next! Fruit fascinators seem like just the perfect accessory for summer! <3
