Outfit of the Day: Hello October

I love October

Not only does October mean corn mazes, pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice everything, Halloween, and the all around spookiness that Halloween and the month of October brings, there's also a crispness to the air even on the warmest days we may have in Northern California. I love the start of sweater season and yet love that there's a lingering to the last days of warm weather for the year. There's also something so cozy about the longer nights as the sun goes down sooner and rises later.

Well, I kick started the first weekend of October with a bang! This past weekend my friends and I got to go to the corn maze and pumpkin patch, pumpkin spice lattes in hand. I even treated myself to a pumpkin and cream cheese muffin while I was it. Such a wonderful month and so many fun things to be done! I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of this month will bring <3

Outfit of the Day (Saturday):

For our outing to the corn maze and pumpkin patch I decided to wear one of my favorite fall dresses, my Trashy Diva Doris dress in Warm Watercolors. I wore this with a pair of brown herringbone flats which I got from the Gap Outlet several years ago since I knew there was going to be a lot of walking on dirt. Also, because I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the weather I brought along a burgundy beaded cardigan by Free People which I got from ebay earlier this year. For a finishing touch I wore this with a pair of brass colored cat stud earrings which I got from Hot Topic last year and coordinated it all with a vintage brown purse I got from Etsy a couple years ago.

I noticed I've been speaking a lot about fall dresses vs summer dresses and dresses that work well for both fall and summer... Well really there's nothing wrong with wearing any of these dresses during any season with the right warm weather styling or weatherization to go along. For me I just really love dressing in theme whether it be a themed event or theme for the season. And so I don't mean to put a label and pigeon hole my dresses. I just really love themes! :D Just wanted to add that little tidbit ;)

Outfit of the Day (Sunday):

In comparison to Saturday, Sunday was a much more relaxed and lazy day. My husband and I went out for lunch and then retired for the rest of the day with our Netflix at home. But seeing as I got out one of my favorite fall dresses the day before, I wanted to follow it with another of my favorite dresses (for fall and summer) my Trashy Diva Country Club dress in Butterflies! Oh Trashy Diva Butterflies how I love you! I paired this dress with a vintage brown with gold beaded cardigan which I got from Etsy last year and because earlier this year I did say I wanted to try and wear some of my fancier shoes out, I wore a pair of brown Mary Jane Naya pumps which I got from Nordstrom Rack a few years ago. For a finshing touch, I kept things simple and wore a pair of gold colored ball stud earrings which I got from Forever 21 last year.

Outfit of the Day: Birthday Week!

Last week I got to celebrate my birthday week!

I spent all week going out to celebrate with different people in my family and because I did I have a lot of birthday outfits to share with you all!

Outfit of the Day (birthday week day 1):

For the first of my birthday week dinners I went out with my mom, stepdad, and husband out to eat at my favorite buffet. I ate way too much as one tends to do at buffets, but I loved every minute of it! For this day I decided to wear my Trashy Diva 40's dress in Ruffled Feathers because #1 it's a rooster dress and my Chinese zodiac sign is the rooster! How perfect is that for a birthday dress! And #2 it's made from a super stretchy material, perfect for eating a big meal! I paired this dress with a turquoise camisole I got a few months ago from ebay and red Ecco flats I got last year also from ebay.

Outfit of the Day (birthday week day 2):

On the second day of my birthday week my husband took me out to eat at one of my favorite nearby restaurants, the Olive Garden. I decided to go out wearing one of my all time favorite dresses, my Trashy Diva Country Club dress in Butterflies! I love this print so much and really hope Trashy Diva decides to bring it back sometime in the future. I paired this with basic black flats I bought from Nordstrom Rack a few years ago.

Outfit of the Day (birthday week day 3, part 1):

For Saturday I really had my heart set on going to Trader Vic's, a tiki restaurant in Emeryville (which was a bit too far to go to during the weekday), but when my stepmom called me up earlier that week and said her and my dad wanted to take me out for lunch on Saturday I couldn't turn them down and so went out to eat twice that day! Because it felt like two totally separate things I decided to go with two different looks that day.

For lunch my dad, stepmom, husband, and myself went out for Mexican. This was the same day my dad and stepmom were going to be heading out to Las Vegas for a Star Trek 50th anniversary convention. Because of that event I decided my Trashy Diva Sci Fi Rockets would be the perfect print for the occasion. I paired my Sci Fi Rockets bolero with a dark blue dress I made myself a few years ago. To tie the look together I paired it with a red belt from a Hell Bunny dress I had, red Ecco flats which I got last year from ebay, and a Sci Fi Rockets print headband I made from fabric scraps left over after having my Rockets dress altered. For a finishing touch I wore a pair of white sparkly stud earrings.

Outfit of the Day (birthday week day 3, part 2):

For dinner that evening at Trader Vic's I knew I wanted to go in tiki theme. My Trashy Diva Tie top in Blue Hawaii was just the perfect thing! I paired this with the same blue dress I was wearing earlier that day, switching out not only the top but also the belt, shoes, and accessories. I wore a pair of blue heels by Chelsea Crew which I found last year on ebay, a pair of bamboo dangle hoops which I bought from Pin Up Girl Clothing a few months ago, and a plumeria hair flower my husband bought for me while we were on vacation in Hawaii earlier this year.

Outfit of the Day: Spring Backlog of Outfits

I've been taking a bit of a break from blogging

While I've slowly been working on my backlog of reading all the great posts I've missed from all the wonderful bloggers I follow, I thought I should also start working on catching up with posting some Outfits of the Days from a few weeks ago.

Sunday:

A few weeks ago on a Sunday Tim and I went out for some errands. I think we went out for breakfast, a stop to Target, a quick stop at Ace Hardware and a stop at Home Depot. It wasn't the most glamorous day but I definitely felt glamorous all day in my Trashy Diva Trixie dress in Hurricane Ladies print! This is one of my favorite dresses that I own and one that is very close to my heart as it was actually gifted to me by an amazing person! To really play off the pink colors I paired this with a vintage beaded pink cardigan which I got from Etsy a couple years ago, and a pair of pink and cream Ione t-strap kitten heels by B.A.I.T. which I got from Amazon a couple years ago. For a finishing touch I wore this with a black Hell Bunny cinch belt, a pink beret I got from ebay last year, and a pair of pink circle earrings adorn with bows which I got from Forever 21 some years ago.

Saturday:

A couple weeks ago Tim and I went for a walk around a nearby lake. We went to somewhat nearby Fremont for a walk around Lake Elizabeth, we then went to the mall, and then out to dinner at Red Lobster. I decided this day was the perfect opportunity to wear my Trashy Diva Apple Tart dress in Seersucker. I paired this with a red cardigan I got several years ago from Nordstrom Rack, and a pair of red Vans which Tim bought me as a gift about a year ago. For a finishing touch I paired this with a pair of apple stud earrings I got from Modcloth about two years ago.

Sunday:

That following Sunday it was a hot day. We decided to go to Dave and Busters to have fun and play in the arcade. Seeing as I recently wore my Hurricane Ladies dress I decided to stick to a theme and wear another one of my favorite dresses, my Trashy Diva Country Club dress in Butterflies! This dress was the Desperately Seeking dress that ended all desperately seeking dresses for me. While I still have dresses on my wishlist, after acquiring all the dresses I felt I was most desperately seeking including the Hurricane ladies print and this Butterflies print, I decided to refrain from ever elevating a dress to quite the level of desperately seeking as I had elevated these ones. After all, I have been so lucky in finding all the dresses I was most desperately seeking so I figured it was only right to step back and if I get lucky and find a dress on my wishlist for a decent price and if I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time, I would consider them wonderful little bonuses.

I got this dress back in October and have patiently been waiting for some hot weather to finally get to wear it out! I fully plan on living in this dress this summer!

The day before I had hurt my feet walking around the lake in my red Vans... Wearing shoes that haven't been fully broken in yet and without socks is definitely not a good idea. So what did I do the very next day? Wear shoes that haven't been fully broken in yet with socks. Okay, still not the best idea. And in hindsight my feet probably would have fared better in my usual broken in flats and my outfit probably would have looked better too. Oh well. I couldn't resist wearing my cat printed Vans with this butterfly printed dress. It was too fun a combo. For a finishing touch I paired this outfit with a yellow hair flower I got from Cats Like Us a couple years ago, a pair of golden bronze flower stud earrings I got from Forever 21 a couple years ago, and a new pair of sunglasses I got from Trashy Diva. I love how the bees and brown in the sunglasses seem to scream a perfect match with this butterfly print dress!
