Outfit of the Day: Two Outfits Just before the Thanksgiving Holiday

These two outfits were worn out the weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

On this particular weekend we were having really great warmish weather for being the end of November. Because the warm sun was shining I wanted to take advantage of the great weather since a cold spell was predicted to be on its way.

Outfit of the Day:

Saturday:
For Saturday I went with something completely colorful and very unlike fall and wore my Trashy Diva Sweetie dress in Tropical Floral though I did still have to wear my opaque tights to keep my legs warm. I also paired this with a purple cardigan which I got a couple years ago from Nordstrom Rack and black flats.

Sunday:
On Sunday since I had a feeling it might be the last warmish weekend we would have for a while I wanted to wear my Trashy Diva Jenny long sleeve dress so that I could take advantage of not having to wear this dress with too many layers. It was so great not having to cover up these sleeves with a cardigan (though by the end of the day I kind of wish I had brought my jacket!). I paired this with black opaque tights, a green cloche hat which I got a couple years ago from Nordstrom Rack, and for an extra finishing touch added my 1920's style dangle earrings by 1928 which I got from Mervyn's before they closed up all their shops several years ago. On Sunday we went to the mall for some early Christmas shopping and some lunch and what do you know, I picked up another perfect accessory for my outfit, a cream colored faux fur stole which I got at Forever 21!

Cupid comes in rayon

What does a loving husband get his vintage-style admiring dress loving wife? Why, a dress of course!

My husband and I usually don't do presents for Valentine's day but this year my husband decided to be extra loving and get me a dress I've been spying on Trashy Diva's website. The Trashy Diva Jenny dress in long sleeves is a 1940s style thick knit dress in a dark military green rayon/nylon/spandex blend. Have I ever mentioned before how much I love Trashy Diva! And I love my caring husband who never stops surprising me! :)

Because the fabric is a stretchy rayon knit blend it has lots of stretch, is super comfortable and has a great drape. Also, because of all the detail in the dress, the front pleats along the shoulder, bodice and waist line as well as all the detail in the shoulders and sleeves this dress keeps a great shape even in its knit material. I love the 1940's look of this dress. I took Trashy Diva's recommendation on their website as well as recommendations based on The Full Figured Chest's review of the Jenny in short sleeves and sized down to a size 8 for my 38-30-38, 5'3" frame which fits great! I just hope it won't shrink when dry cleaned.
