Vacation Slideshow: Fun in Florida, Part 1

Hello Friends!


Happy (American) Thanksgiving!

Sorry for the long silence on the blog. As you might have guessed from this blog post though it was due to a wonderful fun filled vacation!

Earlier this month Tim and I got to take a vacation to Florida for my cousin's wedding and as we do when we are in Florida, we went around a lot and had a lot of fun!


Day 1 (Wednesday):

Outfit of the Day:

The first day of the trip was just flying so I was sure to wear a comfy dress. I opted to wear my Trashy Diva Circle Day dress in Venice Nights. I paired this with a navy cropped cardigan by MAK which I bought a couple years ago from Modcloth and a pair of comfy black ankle strap flats by Blowfish which I bought a couple years ago from Zappos.

Day 2 (Thursday):

Thursday was a slow and relaxing day. We spent most of the day at my grandfather's house, then went and picked up our rental car, and went to the mall for a bit with my grandmother.


Outfit of the day:

For this day, our first day in Florida, I wanted to wear my Pinup Girl Clothing Jenny skirt in Orange Branch border print. I paired this with a black top I bought several years from Target and a pair of black ankle strap flats from Zappos.

Day 3 (Friday):

The Friday we were in Florida happened to be Veteran's day. We completely forgot this and didn't realize until we got to the beach and saw that absolutely every parking spot in our usual parking structure was taken! And here I was thinking that it was going to be a slow day at the beach! In any case we had a wonderful day at Hollywood beach-- one of my all time favorite beaches ever. We got to do something I've been really wanting to do, parasailing, and we got to try out the new flowrider, the simulated surfing machine, that just opened at this beach about a year ago.

Outfit of the Day:

I had a completely different outfit picked out for the day but since we were at the beach all day I ended up just wearing a lightweight jersey dress I like to wear as a beach cover up. I bought this one a couple of years ago from Nordstrom Rack.

Even though this happened later this same day, I'm going to put these photos right here.

Before the day was through Tim and I went to Santa's Enchanted Forest, a south Florida Christmas tradition. Tim said it was one of the most bizarre things he's ever seen, like if he somehow went into the future and saw a crazy version of what someone thought Christmas should be like. I used to go to this every year when I was little growing up in Florida. I mostly remember going and getting my picture taken with Santa. Even though I thought I remember loving this place when I was little, my mom says this place scared me.

Outfit of the Day: Out and About

Like most of my Outfit of the Day posts this one is a hodge-podge of different outfits I've worn recently



Outfit of the Day (last last Sunday):

Last last weekend, Sunday was a very relaxing day for my husband and I. It feels like its been a while since we just got to relax and lounge around the house. Therefore we took full advantage of it when we had a free day on Sunday. While we weren't planning on leaving the house we did get hungry and decided to go to El Pollo Loco, a local fast food place, to pick up Mexican style tostada salads-- one of my favorites! I didn't bother with contacts or even putting on make up but since I had to change into day clothes I decided to throw on a dress I haven't worn for a while, my Trashy Diva L'amour in Red Waterlilies. I paired this with my red Ecco flats because they matched and luckily were right by the door. :) Now how's that for throw on and go? I love dresses for that reason!

Outfit of the Day (Saturday):

This past weekend on Saturday I went out for brunch with some friends from high school. It was supposed to be a group of six of us but turned out to only be the three of us. No bother; it was still great to get to see some old friends, one I've known since middle school who I haven't seen for years and years, and another from high school who I've been lucky to have been able to keep in touch with pretty frequently. We went out for vegan brunch which was actually a lot more tasty than I was anticipating though it did leave me hungry. For this day I decided to wear a dress I haven't worn for ages, the Floating on Flair dress by Knitted Dove which I got from Modcloth years ago. I paired this with a navy cropped cardigan by MAK also from Modcloth from several years ago and a pair of navy flats by Rocket Dog, also from years ago from Zappos. For a finishing touch I wore a pair of cream colored flower studs from Forever 21, also from a few years ago.

Outfit of the Day (Sunday):

On Sunday Tim and I didn't have any plans. We were up pretty early because the cats were making too much noise so we decided to get out of the house a bit and check out the mall and the outlet mall. I decided to wear my new Pinup Girl Clothing skirt, the Jenny skirt in Orange Branch Border print (you can see my recent review here). I thought since we were going to be out shopping it might be fun to wear this skirt and keep my eye out for more tops I can pair it with. I didn't have any luck looking that day but I don't mind it paired the way I did with a Trashy Diva Trixie top in Chambray. To balance out this look I wore this with a matching mustard colored cropped cardigan by MAK (which I got from Modcloth a while ago) and a matching pair of mustard colored peep toe flats from Target from several years ago. For a finishing touch I paired this with golden and white metal basket weave earrings (Modcloth, from a few years ago) and a white and yellow orchid hair flower (Ebay, from last year).
