Outfit of the Day: Final Weekends in August

I'm always just a little delayed posting my Outfit of the Days


It maybe the first weekend of September now but here are three Outfits of the Day from the last two weekends in August. Saying goodbye to August would be a lot more bittersweet if we weren't moving into my all time favorite season, Autumn!

Anyhow, here we go!










Outfit of the Day (last last Saturday):

The weekend before last weekend my friends and I spent a day at the beach. It was a cooler day at the beach but it was nice to be out in the sun and spending time chatting it up with my friends.

For this day's occasion I wore my Trashy Diva Chambray Circle skirt, a yellow Gap gingham top I found on ebay a few months ago, red Ecco flats also from ebay from several months ago, and a red cardigan I got from Nordstrom Rack several years ago. For a finishing touch I wore red floral studs from Forever 21 several years ago, an oversized sun hat (my biggest hat ever) which I got from Trashy Diva earlier this summer, and a watermelon shaped straw purse which I got from ebay a couple weeks ago.

Outfit of the Day (last last Sunday): 

The next day, on Sunday I spent the day out and about with my husband. We were planning on going to the local zucchini festival in town but when we got there decided against it and instead decided to check out the Marina in nearby San Leandro. The marina is a nice nature area with a huge park adjacent to it. There were lots of people out walking the trails, playing in the parks, and catching some pokemon. It was a fun day. I didn't get any pics while we were out there but I'm sure we will be going back again!

For this day's activities I wore a Bettie Page/Tatyana circle skirt jumper in green paired with a Trashy Diva Louise blouse in Crepe Myrtle. I wore this with a pair of basic black flats. For a finishing touch I wore a boater hat I got from Nordstrom last year.

Outfit of the Day (last Sunday):

Last Sunday my husband and I decided to go out for a bit to one of our favorite nearby towns, Alameda, to play indoor golf and then play at the 80's arcade. It was fun to check out this new to us indoor golf place and it was also fun changing venues a bit and going to the 80's arcade in Alameda after spending lots of time playing at the newly opened 80's arcade in our town. 

As I had mentioned in one of my earlier posts, Outfit of the Day: 1987, I have really been in the mood for 80's style. Lately it's been more like 80's everything... 80's music, 80's movies, 80's arcades, and 80's style! This outfit was my fun take on a 2010's version of 80's does 50's. ;) 

I got this fun pastel striped skirt, the Aspiration Creation Skirt, from Modcloth a few weeks ago. It is one of their own branded items. I paired this skirt with the Enchanting Epilogue Sleep top (also from Modcloth from a few weeks ago). When I bought the top I was just kind of adding it into my basket because it was on sale and by adding it to my basket I actually saved more than I would spend on it with a coupon code I had. But when it arrived with the skirt I realized that they matched each other pretty well so figured why not wear it as a day top? I also wore a Gap jean jacket I got at Buffalo Exchange several years ago and a pair of B.A.I.T. Dolly Sandals in Fair Pink which I got a few weeks ago from Zulily. For a finishing touch I also wore my new Erstwilder God of Time brooch, a pair of turquoise heart studs from Forever 21 from several years ago, a Coach shoulder strap purse I got from my mother-in-law for Christmas several years ago, red heart shaped sunglasses my husband bought for me from Vans a couple months ago, and a pink scrunchie I picked up from a local shop recently.

    1. Thank you Camilla! <3 I really love these B.A.I.T. shoes. They remind me of my childhood so much! You should totally get a boater hat. It's a fun accessory especially for the spring and summer months you are going to be going into <3

  4. Really, really wonderful outfits across the board! I adore them all - and am especially smitten with your TD chambray skirt. IMO, chambray skirts are just as versatile as a pair of jeans.

    I'm excited that we're starting to head into fall now, too. We returned home from our trip to Edmonton last night to some seriously lovely late summer sunshine and I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that it lingers for a while. After such a rainy summer, I'll take all the sunshine I can get - even if it isn't uber hot.

    Big hugs & happy summer-into-autumn wishes,
    ♥ Jessica

    1. Thank you Jessica! I totally agree. I have worn this chambray skirt perhaps more than any other dress piece in my closet, more than any other of my Trashy Diva pieces for sure! Such a perfect skirt to mix and match with.

      I am so glad to hear that you had a bit of sunshine when you got home from your trip. I hope the good weather's been keeping up for you. At least for a little while!
