Outfit of the Day: Two outfits over Valentine's and Valentine's day weekend

Hello Kittens

Though this was a while ago, I hope you all had a great Valentine's day.

Over Valentine's day weekend Tim and I went up north to Davis for a friend's birthday. Because it was a long drive up and just a little longer of a drive to get up to the snow I suggested to Tim why not start a little earlier and play a bit in the snow before the party. It ended up being such a fun detour and a great day over the Valentine's day weekend.


Outfit of the Day (Saturday, Valentine's day weekend):

When I was planning on what to wear to the birthday party I knew right away I wanted to wear my Trashy Diva Hopscotch dress in Hourglass! It's got such a great party vibe to me. However, when plans developed and we made decided to also go the snow that day I considered that  perhaps I should wear something else instead. I didn't ponder this long however as I immediately said to myself, "F*** it. Life is short, wear the dress!" And so that is exactly what I did. :)

I paired this dress with a toasty thick black Trashy Diva knit bolero which I got a few months ago from a swap and sell group on facebook, black fleece lined tights which I got last year from Nordstrom Rack, trusty basic black flats (which I changed out of for the snow), and for a finishing touch a pink beret I got from ebay a couple months ago.

Outfit of the Day (Valentine's Day):

Actual Valentine's day fell on a Tuesday this year. I'm not one for putting things off if I can help it so we went out and celebrated on the actual day. Straight after work, I came home and changed into a dress for the occasion and for going out to dinner that night. I decided to wear my Trashy Diva Lupe dress in Forget Me Not floral as for whatever reason that is the dress I was really feeling for the day. It's sweet and elegant without being too fancy or too themey--- though I do surprise myself writing this as I'm usually a sucker for dressing theme!

Anyhow, it was an unusually warm day that day and so I was able to go tightless (finally!) and only needed to wear my super toasty knit Trashy Diva bolero to keep warm that night. As always, when I don't really put much thought into it, I went with my trusty basic black flats. :)

Outfit of the Day: Two Trashy Divas and Collectif

Hello Kittens

Once again, I'm here playing catch up on my Outfit of the Days. I was almost all caught up too!


Outfit of the Day (Saturday, three weeks ago):

A couple of weekends ago, I wore this Trashy Diva Sweetie dress in Ruffled Feathers. Though I don't really celebrate, I picked this dress to wear because it was Lunar New Years and this is the year of the rooster :D. Tim and I went out to breakfast and then ran a couple errands for the day. I paired this with a Sweetie sweater by Heart of Haute which I was lucky and snagged during a sale on sale a few months ago. :) I also paired this with Miss L Fire Maraschino pumps which I also got on sale at Zulily back during the Summer. For a finishing touch I wore a pair of red stud earrings which I got a while ago from a local retro shop, Vintage Alley, and to keep warm, wore my trusty red toggle coat from Target from years ago.

Outfit of the Day (Saturday, two weeks ago):

The next weekend I went out with a friend wine tasting. I decided to wear my Trashy Diva Streetcar dress in Forget Me Not Floral. I paired this is my red Sweetie cardigan from Heart of Haute (again), brown sweater tights from Target from a few years ago, and a pair of red Miz Mooz t-strap wedges which I got a few years ago from Zappos. For a finishing touch I wore this with a red beret from ebay which I got a few months ago, red floral stud earrings, and an Erstwilder brooch which I got as a present from a friend a few months ago.

Outfit of the Day (Sunday, two weeks ago):

Tim and I went for a walk around the lake. I've been hiking a lot lately and have been trying to work on a style where I still feel like myself but which is a bit more casual than my usual weekend looks. Thank goodness for vintage reproduction companies like Collectif! While almost everything I am wearing here (at least the main pieces) are Collectif, I actually owe this outfit to CiCi at www.cici-marie.com/ She has reviewed both this plaid top and these pants on her blog in the past which has alerted me to their merits. :) I am a big fan of this blog and love the outfits she comes up with! You should check it out if it's not already on your radar. Anyhow, the top is Collectif's mainline cheyenne tai tartan gab jacket which I grabbed on sale a few weeks ago while the pants are Collectif's Rebel Kate Denim Jeans which I was super lucky and found on ebay for a great price several months ago. I wore this with a striped shirt which I got from Target about a year ago and a pair of red Vans. To finish off this look, I wore this with a red belt I took off of one of my Hell Bunny dresses.

Til we see each other again friends! <3

Outfit of the Day: Two From the Week and Two From the Weekend

Last week was a bit busier for me than usual!

Outfit of the Day (Tuesday):

On Tuesday Tim took me out for a mid-week movie. We saw Captain America: Civil War. For this occasion I decided to wear one of my 1940's style dresses, the Suzy Parker dress from Hell Bunny (A.K.A. the East Coast Swing dress) which I bought from Modcloth a few years ago. I paired this with a true vintage Ethel of Beverly Hills cardigan which I found on Etsy a few years ago and a pair of basic black flats.

Outfit of the Day (Wednesday):

Then on Wednesday I took the day off of work to get a some doctors appointments done and to go see the dentist. I wasn't really in the mood to put on a dress (shocking!) so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to get out my Collectif Lorenza Houndstooth Swing trousers! I got these a few years ago from Modcloth. I paired this with a blue sweater and purple beret I got several years ago from Nordstrom Rack as well as paired it with a pair of basic black flats. For a finishing touch I donned on a monogram brooch which I got from either Etsy or Ebay a few years ago.

Outfit of the Day (Saturday):

On Saturday my friend and I went out to a vintage fashion faire in Alameda. I usually like to dress in vintage when scoping out vintage dresses but this time I decided on my Trashy Diva Lupe dress in Forget Me Not Floral. I paired this with a black bolero by Elle which I got from Kohl's a couple years ago. For a finishing touch I paired it with a red floppy hat from Anthropologie from a few years ago and red Ecco flats I found on ebay last year. Also because it was Friday the 13th just the day before and I failed to remember to wear anything Friday the 13ie, I wore a pair of black cat earrings by Rosita Bonita which I got from Trashy Diva last year.

Outfit of the Day (Sunday):

On Sunday I left the house for a bit to run some errands. The day started out gray and overcast so I picked out the Trashy Diva Americana dress in Mini Fleur to wear! I love the sleeves on this one-- perfect for a cooler day! I paired this with some basic black flats and for a finishing touch a pair silver fleur de lis earrings which I got from an arts fair from a few years ago.

Outfit of the Day: Our Anniversary Weekend

This past week Tim and I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary

Our anniversary was smack dab in the middle of the week but we decided to go out and celebrate at one of our favorite local Italian restaurants anyway. Then when the weekend rolled around on Saturday, we decided to make a day of it going out to lunch and playing a round of indoor ghost themed miniature golf at a place called Ghost Golf. We were also planning on going to the movies and seeing The Witch but we missed the show time. By then it was pouring rain so we decided to save it for Sunday. And so I have an extra bonus third Outfit of the Day for this post!



Outfit of the Day:
Our Anniversary:

The day of our Anniversary I came home from work and found this dress waiting for me. It was a present from Tim! I threw it on straight from the package even though I didn't have time to steam it first. I was so excited to wear it! This is the Trashy Diva Streetcar dress in Forget Me Not Floral. I tried this one on when we were in New Orleans but didn't have the money at the time to buy it and have been pining for it ever since even though I have this print in the Lupe dress. What can I say, I'm such a sucker for the Streetcar dresses! I paired this dress with a vintage black beaded cardigan which I got a few years ago from Etsy and black mary jane heels by Softspots which I got several years ago from Zappos. For a finishing touch I wore this with some large retro style light blue floral earrings from Forever 21. I really love how the light blue in the earrings brings out the blue in the Forget Me Not Floral print.

Saturday:

On Saturday Tim and I were planning on going out for indoor Ghost Golf and then to see the Witch. I had a dress all picked out for the occasion but when the day rolled around I really was in the mood to wear this Trashy Diva Honey Sun dress in Steel Magnolias instead. It was a rainy grey day and I thought the grey in the dress would really match well with the weather. Plus, since it was a cold day I was really in the mood to layer up and have been waiting for the perfect chance to wear this dress layered up all winter. I paired this with a burgundy beaded cardigan by Free People which I found on ebay earlier this year, a grey knit fascinator also from ebay from a couple years ago, grey tights which I got from Nordstrom earlier this year, and a pair of Chelsea Crew heels which I also got from found ebay I think from last year. To add to the layers, and make this dress a little more modest, I wore a grey cami underneath (also from ebay from earlier this year). For a finishing touch I wore this with a pair of silver sparkle dot earrings I got from our local vintage style shop, Vintage Alley, a couple years ago.

Sunday:

While we were planning on watching The Witch on Saturday it turns out there weren't too many show times for it in our area so we ended up deciding to save the movie for Sunday. I didn't mind. This gave me the chance to wear the dress I originally had planned on wearing, a Trashy Diva Audrey dress in black velvet. I paired this with a black cardigan from the Gap from several years ago, my black mary jane Softspot heels, and a pair of mauve ankle socks. For a finishing touch I wore a black sequined headband and black 1920's style drop earrings though I forgot to take the close up shots of this.
