While last weekend was a long one (three days with the Labor Day holiday), it was a pretty low key one.
Outfit of the Day (Saturday):
On Saturday I was out of the house earlier than usual to pick up some bagels for breakfast and then later in the day I went out shopping for jeans at Old Navy and Macy's. It's news to me that major retailers like these are now stocking high waisted jeans! I love that high waisted jeans are back! I hope they will never leave again. Anyhow, when I was picking out what to wear for the day I had it in my mind that this was going to be another modern take on an 80's does 50's look (see my last look
here)... I mean heart printed top, chambray skirt?? Sounds pretty 80's influenced to me. But when I had everything on together I realized it didn't really look all that 80's inspired at all, maybe a little 60's school girl geek chic? Anyhow, I dug it, so that is what I wore for the day.
I paired my
Trashy Diva Chambray Circle skirt with a red and blue heart printed top (gifted a couple years ago from a friend), a red cropped cardigan I got from
Forever 21 several years ago (oh why did I not buy the white and black versions of this cardigan while I was at it!), and classic red Vans. For finishing touches I also added a red belt which I took from one of my Hell Bunny dresses, a new Friday the 13th inspired Jason Kitty brooch which I got from the wonderful Etsy shop
DanielleVGreen about a week ago (thank you
Junebugs and Georgia Peaches for pointing me in her direction and thank you Danielle for being such a wonderful and accommodating seller). I also wore this with red button stud earrings which I got from a local retro reproduction shop,
Vintage Alley, a couple years ago, and a charm bracelet with a Mickey tee charm (I think from Disneyland several years ago) and a cupcake charm another friend made for me several years go.

Outfit of the Day (Sunday):
Sunday was another low key day. In the morning I helped my husband out with some projects he wanted to get done in the backyard and for a reward he took me out to lunch at Chili's. After lunch we wandered around the mall for a bit, checking out the toy store and where they are in the works of putting together the seasonal Halloween haunted house,
Fear Overload. We've never been to this one in the mall before but we are definitely looking forward to making it happen this year.
There was no particular reason why I chose this outfit to wear this day other than I knew Autumn will be coming soon and we are on the last few relatively warm enough days to wear this
Bernie Dexter Paris dress in Turquoise and Red Frenchie (i.e. Eiffel Tower print). I got this dress just recently as an extra birthday gift from my husband which he got from
Zulily. I paired it with a light blue/turquoisey cardigan I got from Target several years ago and red Vans. For a finishing touch I wore my
Erstwilder Farrah the French Kitty Brooch and a pair of red floral studs which I got from Forever 21 several years ago.

Lovely! I like the more casual interpretation of the first look. x
ReplyDeleteThank you Porcelina!
DeleteBoth are such lovely outfits, I really love that Bernie dress on you and the blue cardigan together! That Erstwilder brooch is so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Camilla! I love it when it works out that something new I get pairs so well with something old I already have :) (One of the reasons why though it is so hard for me to get rid of anything) :O LOL
DeleteBoth are so cute I love bernie Dexter
ReplyDeleteThank you Katherine! :)
DeleteFantastic outfits! That red & blue heart top is such a charmer. I love that between its pattern and hues, it works well all year round. So true about charm bracelets often being tricky to photograph in a way that actually shows some of the charms individually while they're on your wrist. If you can rest your arm on a flat(ish) surface such as a railing, tabletop or sofa arm, that, in my experience, can sometimes help.
ReplyDeleteOodles of hugs,

Oh Thank you Jessica for the tips! Will have to try that next time <3
DeleteWohooo!
ReplyDeleteHello there, dear.
This is one of those "in the moment" comments, that came to be as a spur of the moment - the second I became aware we have the SAME earrings. Oh, and what a lovely earring they are! :)
I do love your outfits.
Keep on posting.
Many greetings from Serbia!

Thank you for your reply Marija! How fantastic that we have the same earrings even though we are a world apart! :D So fun! <3
