Outfit of the Day: Catching up on January OOTDs

Hello Kittens!


Color me a bit distracted these last couple weeks. While it seems I'm always trying to catch up on my blog reading list and reading all your lovely blogs out there these days, I've also been struggling to keep up with a semblance of a blog schedule for myself. Not to kick myself about it or to reprimand myself over it or anything. After all, my motto of sorts especially when it comes to blogging is, do what you want :)

Anyhow, here are a few Outfit of the Days from January!


Outfit of the Day (first weekend of January):

I wish I could properly remember what I did this day while wearing this pretty outfit but alas, it was so far back it escapes me! I think we were out running errands this day. Maybe went out for breakfast? I remember being so proud of my cleverness though because my tights were actually double layered, a sheer white dot tight on top of a nude fishnet tight... My thick sweater tights were in the wash so I had to improvise. For this outfit I also wore my Trashy Diva Streetcar dress in Irish Polka, a vintage cream colored cardigan I got from Etsy a few months back, and forest green and cream B.A.I.T. Ida heels I got a couple years ago.

Outfit of the Day (second weekend of January):

Tim and I are basically mall rats. While I don't dress like I live at the mall, we do often like to go there and hang out. He likes to go into Spencer's and Vans, and I like to get pretzels and check out what's at Hot Topic, Forever 21 and scope through Nordstrom as we walk through. Anyhow, this day was another trip to the mall. We went out to lunch and did our usual haunts that day. It was rainy and dreary and I felt nice and cozy in my Trashy Diva knit Jenny, a vintage Ethel of Beverly Hills cardigan which I got from Etsy a couple years ago, brown sweater tights from Target from last year, a cozy animal print beret from Modcloth from last year, and a pair of basic black flats.

Outfit of the Day (third weekend of January):

On this day, I met up with some friends from college. We usually try and meet up at least once a year to catch up and stay in touch. However, this time around somehow we let two years pass! Anyhow, we met up over burgers and boozy milkshakes at a new restaurant called Broderick's in Walnut Creek. The food was great, the drink were fun, but the company was the best! It was another coldish and wetish day though not as cold or wet as I was expecting. In any case though, I was just not in the mood to don on a dress so I got out my fun wide leg Lorenza trousers from Collectif which I got from Modcloth a few years ago. I paired this with a sweater blouse by Darling which I also got from Modcloth a few years ago. For funsies I also wore this with a pair of black and white B.A.I.T. Idas (though you can't see them well in the pics) which I also got a few years ago. To keep warm I also wore a black cardigan (old) and a knit cap Tommy Hilfiger hat which I got from Nordstrom Rack a few years ago. And though it's not pictured, to get me from the car to restaurant, I also wore my trusty red toggle wool coat from Target also from several years ago.

Outfit of the Day: Wide Leg Trousers Twice!

Hello Kittens!


Continuing on with catching up on my Outfit of the Days I present to you two outfits from the end of December 2016.


Outfit of the Day (Saturday late December):

It was a cold a wet day when I wore this outfit out and I just didn't feel like donning on a dress. In summary, it was the perfect day for some wide leg trousers!

I got these pants, the Conference Room Coffee pants, a couple years ago from Modcloth (still available). They are also known as the Glenda Chevron Swing Trousers by Collectif. They are worn here without the detachable suspenders. I wore this with a Trashy Diva Ashley top in Wine Dots (old from the original run of Wine Dots) which I got last year from a swap and sell group. I paired this with a burgundy beaded cardigan by Free People which I got from ebay last year. For a finishing touch I also wore a burgundy beret I got a couple years ago though I forget where I got it from.

Outfit of the Day (Day before New Years Eve):

The day before New Year's Eve Tim and I went over to a friends house for a UFC viewing party. Once again, I felt more inclined to wear pants rather than a dress this day so I donned on my Collectif Lorenza Swing Trousers which I got several years ago from Modcloth. I paired this with a custom hand knit sweater I bought last year from a gal on a swap and sell group (she also sells through her etsy shop, Ains and Elke StyleHaus). For finishing touches I wore this with a purple beret I got a couple years ago from Nordstrom Rack and a cat brooch I got last year from Miss Polly's Lucite
