End of the Year Outfit Roundup: My Top 10 Outfit of the Days of 2016

I really love putting together these end of the year Outfit of the Day roundup posts

While it's hard to chose which outfits should go in this post, I love looking back on the year at my favorite outfits. What I noticed this year in terms of my top picks is that I really loved mixing and matching separates this year. Also, I remember saying at the beginning of last year that I wanted to experiment more with shoes and hats, From this roundup, I'm glad to see I did in fact do that!

And so, without further ado, in chronological order, here are my top 10 Outfits of Days from 2016:

1) Modcloth Charming on the Quad cape, Steady black swing skirt, gifted dog sweater, with burgundy beret, and white and burgundy Chelsea Crew heels
from January 18

2) True Vintage 1960's pink and green sheath dress, with vintage straw purse, and pink B.A.I.T. heels
from March 28

3) Pinup Girl Clothing Orange Border print skirt, Trashy Diva chambray Trixie top, mustard MAK cropped cardigan, and mustard peep toe flats from Target

10) Target red wool toggle coat, Trashy Diva Audrey dress in black velvet, Heart of Haute Estelle blouse in cherries, red beret, and Miss L Fire heels
Posted January 7 but worn December 25

Going into 2017 I don't have any style goals like I did last year. I'm guessing from my most current outfits that there will probably more mixing and matching of separates which I love. I've also been doing a fair bit more trouser wearing-- perhaps there will be more of that even once the warmer months start to hit?

What are your style goals for 2017?

Until next time kittens! :)

Tea Time At the Golden Tea Garden

Hello Kittens!

This weekend I got to get an itch I've been feeling lately and went out to tea with some lady friends. It feels like it's been forever since I've been out to tea but it's probably really only been about a month or two. ;)

For our tea time ladies' day out tea date we decided to go to the local tea house, the Golden Tea Garden in Hayward. I haven't been here for a while for tea and the last time I was here I was actually giving a helping hand in the kitchen! So it was especially nice to pop in for a spot of tea and see the ladies that work there.

My friends got champagne with their tea while I opted instead to go for the full high tea service without champagne. For my tea I picked a tea called Roastaroma which was super earthy and full which was surprising for an herbal tea! It had chicory, barley, chocolate, and cinnamon flavors to it. The service of our tea was impeccable and everyone really enjoyed the warm towel service they do their before our teas were brought out.

It was a wonderfully overcast day, a perfectly cool day for a tea, and it was a great way to spend the morning-- sipping tea and eating scones, tea sandwiches, and sweet treats while having lively conversation in the great company of friends.

As always, I'm looking forward to my next tea outing and looking forward to coming back to the Golden Tea Garden again!

Outfit of the Day:

For our tea outing I decided to wear my Trashy Diva Doris dress in Cool Watercolors. I paired this with a blue Sweet wrap cardigan by Heart of Haute which I bought from them last year. I also paired this with a pair of blue Chelsea Crew heels I got last year from ebay. For a finishing touch I wore a blue fascinator I got from ebay, also last year, a pair of purple bow earrings I got from a local vintage shop, Vintage Alley, and an Erstwilder Rosy Lee brooch which I bought directly from Erstwilder a couple months ago! Amazing customer service from them by the way! When this pin was out of stock on their website they went out of their way to help me look for another vendor how had it and when they couldn't find another vendor, they let me know later on when they happened to find this last one hiding in their warehouse!

Outfit of the Day: Fancy Birthday Dinner

Salut Mes Amie

Earlier this week on Monday Tim and I went out for a special fancy dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday. We went out in a big group for this get together. It was nice getting to celebrate with my friend and getting to see a lot of our other friends as well.

Outfit of the Day:

For the day's festivities I decided to wear my Heart of Haute Monique dress in Peacock Royal. I love the colors on this dress and love how pretty the print is. I paired this with a light turquoisey-blue cardigan I got from Target some years back and a pair of Chelsea Crew seafoam green heels which I got from Modcloth for a great price during their end of the year sale last year. For a finishing touch I wore a pair of light blue tear drop earrings and wore a peacock feather hair piece.

Outfit of the Day: Double Belated Mother's Day Dinner

I know this blog post is a little late but it's not entirely just because I'm posting it late!

Mine and Tim's mom both prefer to go out and celebrate Mother's day away from the crowds and on non-mother's day. So the week before last week, after all the hustle and bustle of Mother's day was over our moms got to go out and have their own Mother's day celebration.

Outfit of the Day:

We took my mom out to her favorite Chinese restaurant. For this day I wore my Trashy Diva 1940's dress in Olivine Floral. I paired this with my purple cardigan, a modest tank for underneath, and my Sweetie Chelsea Crew heels. I've been avoiding wearing bright colors lately because it just hasn't felt right, but for my mom I took this dress out for a spin.

A few days later it was Tim's mom turn for her dinner. Tim's mom's choice for dinner was Applebee's. We started the night off with come cocktails then enjoyed a good dinner. For this night's activities I wore my Trashy Diva Doris dress in Cool Watercolors. I couldn't resist once again pairing my purple cardigan with my dress! To go perfectly with this dress, I also wore my blue Chelsea Crew heels. Got to love a good dress, a good cardigan, and good pair of Chelsea Crews ;)
