Last week I got to celebrate my birthday week!
I spent all week going out to celebrate with different people in my family and because I did I have a lot of birthday outfits to share with you all!
Outfit of the Day (birthday week day 1):
For the first of my birthday week dinners I went out with my mom, stepdad, and husband out to eat at my favorite buffet. I ate way too much as one tends to do at buffets, but I loved every minute of it! For this day I decided to wear my
Trashy Diva 40's dress in Ruffled Feathers because #1 it's a rooster dress and my Chinese zodiac sign is the rooster! How perfect is that for a birthday dress! And #2 it's made from a super stretchy material, perfect for eating a big meal! I paired this dress with a turquoise camisole I got a few months ago from ebay and red Ecco flats I got last year also from ebay.

Outfit of the Day (birthday week day 2):
On the second day of my birthday week my husband took me out to eat at one of my favorite nearby restaurants, the Olive Garden. I decided to go out wearing one of my all time favorite dresses, my Trashy Diva Country Club dress in Butterflies! I love this print so much and really hope Trashy Diva decides to bring it back sometime in the future. I paired this with basic black flats I bought from
Nordstrom Rack a few years ago.

Outfit of the Day (birthday week day 3, part 1):
For Saturday I really had my heart set on going to
Trader Vic's, a tiki restaurant in Emeryville (which was a bit too far to go to during the weekday), but when my stepmom called me up earlier that week and said her and my dad wanted to take me out for lunch on Saturday I couldn't turn them down and so went out to eat twice that day! Because it felt like two totally separate things I decided to go with two different looks that day.
For lunch my dad, stepmom, husband, and myself went out for Mexican. This was the same day my dad and stepmom were going to be heading out to Las Vegas for a Star Trek 50th anniversary convention. Because of that event I decided my Trashy Diva Sci Fi Rockets would be the perfect print for the occasion. I paired my Sci Fi Rockets bolero with a dark blue dress I
made myself a few years ago. To tie the look together I paired it with a red belt from a Hell Bunny dress I had, red Ecco flats which I got last year from ebay, and a Sci Fi Rockets print headband I made from fabric scraps left over after having my Rockets dress altered. For a finishing touch I wore a pair of white sparkly stud earrings.

Outfit of the Day (birthday week day 3, part 2):
For dinner that evening at Trader Vic's I knew I wanted to go in tiki theme. My Trashy Diva Tie top in Blue Hawaii was just the perfect thing! I paired this with the same blue dress I was wearing earlier that day, switching out not only the top but also the belt, shoes, and accessories. I wore a pair of blue heels by Chelsea Crew which I found last year on ebay, a pair of bamboo dangle hoops which I bought from
Pin Up Girl Clothing a few months ago, and a plumeria hair flower my husband bought for me while we were on
vacation in Hawaii earlier this year.

ReplyDeleteThank you Katherine! <3
DeleteHappy birthday, pretty lady!! Such amazing Trashy Diva outfits! That blue dress you made matches SO well with the sci-fi rockets bolero & the BH tie top!
ReplyDeleteI REALLY want to check out Trader Vics. It seems like such a cool place.
Thank you Bristol! I picked out the fabric with the Sci Fi Bolero in mind but it was a special fun surprise to me to see that it also matched perfectly with Blue Hawaii! :D I haven't been to too many tiki places but I know you love them so! I think you would have a great time at Trader Vics!
DeleteHow exciting that you got to visit Trader Vic's - to say that it's a true legend in the tiki world would be an understatement. It sounds like you had a stellar birthday week celebrate complete with oodles of awesome eats. Just the way one's b-day should be observed! :)
ReplyDeleteAll of these outfits are soooo lovely! I especially adore the Blue Hawaii one.
Big hugs & happy weekend wishes,
♥ Jessica
I wish I had a better concept of how legendary Trader Vic's is! It's fun to hear about it from other people like yourself... it gives me a better perspective of it! And yes! I love celebrating with awesome eats! To me that's the best way to celebrate! Thank you Jessica!
DeleteAll such wonderful, gorgeous outfits lovely lady! Happy Birthday to you too! xo
