Outfit of the Day: Pretty Pink for Valentine's Day

Hello Kittens!

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day! Tim and I just got back from vacation (Vacation Slideshow posts are coming!) and so I've been a bit quiet on the blog. I'm looking forward to catching up on reading all the blog posts I've missed and to see what's been going on in the blogsphere!

I had a dress all picked out for Valentine's day this year and was debating on which restaurant to chose to go out to for the occasion but when the day rolled around all I really wanted to do was snuggle up at home with my hubby, our cats, and a marathon of Netflix! We did make it out to breakfast though so there is a Valentine's Day Outfit of the Day post after all! :D


Outfit of the Day:
On Valentine's day my hubby treated me to breakfast at Panera Bread. I love their bagels so much! Because it was Valentine's day I thought my Trashy Diva Bustle Betty dress in Slap and Tickle print would be a fitting choice. I paired this with a peachy pink cardigan which I got from Target several years ago and a pair of peachy pink flats I got several years ago from Zappos. I forgot earrings though as it was a very low key morning. <3

Busting Out With The Bustle Betty!!!

Hello Kittens,

I have recently become obsessed with a facebook group, Desperately Seeking Trashy Diva, which I found through The Full Figured Chest's blog. The name of the group is pretty self explanatory. It's a facebook group for people looking for and selling their Trashy Diva dresses.

I love that all the ladies in this group are so helpful, so friendly, and love showing off their Trashy Diva dress! I also love that it's a great resource for finding older styles or prints of Trashy Diva dresses. As some of you fans of Trashy Diva might know, once a style sells out from the Trashy Diva website it's usually gone forever (unless you're lucky enough to still find it on another retailers website... though other retailers are rare).

Since I joined I have found two prints I can now add to my collection in the incredible Bustle Betty style.


Dress Review:

I love this 1940's style Bustle Betty dress which is slender without being a wiggle.

This dress features a pointed collar, capped sleeves, flattering darts and pleats all along the bust and torso, a bustle in the back, a slight peplum in the front, and the back of the skirt ends in a slight fish tail.

I first got this dress in the wonderful and fun Mardi Gras print from a seller in the group for a steal! When this dress later popped up in the group in my size in the beautiful Slap and Tickle print I could not let it pass me by!

I love that even though these are the same style dress the Mardi Gras print has a look which is easily dressed up or down while the Slap and Tickle print seems all dressed up!
