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.

Outfit of the Day: Grandparents in Town

Last week my grandparents were visiting from Florida

We celebrated their arrival with a Korean BBQ dinner at my mom's house during the week and then that weekend took them for a day trip to Yosemite! It was great having them here for a visit and it was a great time getting to spend it with them outdoors in the perfect weather we were having that weekend.

Outfit of the Day (Wednesday):

The day my grandparents flew in from Florida my mom hosted a Korean BBQ dinner. For the first day seeing my grandparent I decided my silk Trashy Diva Betty dress in Cherries print would be the perfect dress for the occasion! I paired this with gingham wedges I had just received from Modcloth that day! (Available here on sale now!) I also paired this with a red cardigan to brighten up the outfit some more.

Outfit of the Day (Saturday):

On Saturday for our day trip to Yosemite I didn't really expect to get too much hiking in since we were all going to be there with my 80+ year old grandfather so I figured why not wear something super fun and springy? I decided my Trashy Diva circle skirt in Jade Watercolor would be perfect for the trip! I paired this with a green Tatyana sweater I just got on sale in Las Vegas during our last trip there. I also paired this with Sketcher Go Walk shoes for the bits that we would be walking and, to stay warm, a pair of brown sweater tights I got from Target earlier this wear.  It was the perfect cool spring day outfit for Yosemite.

Vacation Slideshow: Weekend in Vegas

We went to Vegas the weekend before last to celebrate a friend's birthday

Unfortunately, that meant we missed Viva Las Vegas by just a bit but we still had a blast while we were there.

Day1:

We arrived in Vegas early in the morning. It was a bit too early to check in so we dropped off our bags at the hotel and took a walk down the strip. I love going to all the different casinos and looking in the hotels. We met up with some friends later in the day and shopped a bit at Tatyana and other stores at the Miracle Mile Mall, then that night we all went out together to go see Evil Dead the musical. It was a perfect first day to our trip.

At the lobby of the Bellagio. I love popping in to see this ceiling!

Outfit of the Day: Trashy Diva Streetcar dress in Leopard

Outfit of the Day: Stop Staring Bombshell dress

Outfit of the Day (day 1)

For the first day of our trip I wore my Trashy Diva Streetcar dress in Leopard print because after all nothing screams Vegas more to me than leopard! I paired it with a black cardigan for when we were in the cold shade and some ankle strap easy to walk in black flats. For a finishing touch I wore a cat ear headband and some golden ball studs.

At night for the Evil Dead musical I changed into my Stop Staring Bombshell dress. Though I forgot to take closeup pics I wore this with black dot black sheer tights, and my red Ecco flats. For a finishing touch I wore this with a pair of black cat earrings and wore a red feather fascinator in my hair.



Day 2:

The next day Tim and I walked down the strip again to meet up with our friends. We then took a day trip out to Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. It was a section of town I've never been to. It was super fun exploring around there. At night we were planning on meeting up after changing and checking out some clubs but after we separated to get ready we never were able to enmesh our schedules so Tim and I just wandered around a bit on our own instead before calling it a night.

Outfit of the Day: Lucky 13 Hairspray dress

Outfit of the Day (day 2):

For our second day in Vegas I wore my Lucky 13 Hairspray dress. I always thought of this print as a gambling theme dress though now I have no idea why. It actually is a nautical theme. It features a lady like the kind you might see carved at the front of a boat. It also has anchors, but then also some other random things such as diamonds, cherrys, and the number 13. I paired this with a black cardigan, black ankle strap flats and for a finishing touch, a pair of anchor stud earrings.

For the evening I changed into my Trashy Diva Honey Child dress in Smoke Leopard. I paired this with black sheer back seamed tights, my black ankle strap flats, and for a finishing touch a black feathered hair flower and yellow and green snake earrings.



Day 3:

On our last day our flight didn't leave til later in the evening so it was like getting a bonus day without paying for a hotel. We started the morning with a quick jump in the pool then checked out of the hotel. We were able to have the hotel hold our bags for us while we ran around. We walked down the strip again, met up with our friends again for a bit, did some shopping at the Tatyana store at the Miracle Mile Mall, saw the flamingos at the Flamingo, saw the Bodies exhibit at the Luxor, then played in the arcade at Excalibur until it was time to go catch our plane. It was a surprisingly full day! 

Outfit of the Day: Tatyana Ping Pong dress

Outfit of the Day:

For our last day in Vegas I wore my Tatyana Ping Pong dress. After all, in the land where the brand Tatyana was born I had to represent! I paired this with a black cardigan and my black ankle strap flats. For a finishing touch I wore this with a pair of black cat earrings and a black feathered hair flower.
