Outfit of the Day: Catching up on January OOTDs

Hello Kittens!


Color me a bit distracted these last couple weeks. While it seems I'm always trying to catch up on my blog reading list and reading all your lovely blogs out there these days, I've also been struggling to keep up with a semblance of a blog schedule for myself. Not to kick myself about it or to reprimand myself over it or anything. After all, my motto of sorts especially when it comes to blogging is, do what you want :)

Anyhow, here are a few Outfit of the Days from January!


Outfit of the Day (first weekend of January):

I wish I could properly remember what I did this day while wearing this pretty outfit but alas, it was so far back it escapes me! I think we were out running errands this day. Maybe went out for breakfast? I remember being so proud of my cleverness though because my tights were actually double layered, a sheer white dot tight on top of a nude fishnet tight... My thick sweater tights were in the wash so I had to improvise. For this outfit I also wore my Trashy Diva Streetcar dress in Irish Polka, a vintage cream colored cardigan I got from Etsy a few months back, and forest green and cream B.A.I.T. Ida heels I got a couple years ago.

Outfit of the Day (second weekend of January):

Tim and I are basically mall rats. While I don't dress like I live at the mall, we do often like to go there and hang out. He likes to go into Spencer's and Vans, and I like to get pretzels and check out what's at Hot Topic, Forever 21 and scope through Nordstrom as we walk through. Anyhow, this day was another trip to the mall. We went out to lunch and did our usual haunts that day. It was rainy and dreary and I felt nice and cozy in my Trashy Diva knit Jenny, a vintage Ethel of Beverly Hills cardigan which I got from Etsy a couple years ago, brown sweater tights from Target from last year, a cozy animal print beret from Modcloth from last year, and a pair of basic black flats.

Outfit of the Day (third weekend of January):

On this day, I met up with some friends from college. We usually try and meet up at least once a year to catch up and stay in touch. However, this time around somehow we let two years pass! Anyhow, we met up over burgers and boozy milkshakes at a new restaurant called Broderick's in Walnut Creek. The food was great, the drink were fun, but the company was the best! It was another coldish and wetish day though not as cold or wet as I was expecting. In any case though, I was just not in the mood to don on a dress so I got out my fun wide leg Lorenza trousers from Collectif which I got from Modcloth a few years ago. I paired this with a sweater blouse by Darling which I also got from Modcloth a few years ago. For funsies I also wore this with a pair of black and white B.A.I.T. Idas (though you can't see them well in the pics) which I also got a few years ago. To keep warm I also wore a black cardigan (old) and a knit cap Tommy Hilfiger hat which I got from Nordstrom Rack a few years ago. And though it's not pictured, to get me from the car to restaurant, I also wore my trusty red toggle wool coat from Target also from several years ago.

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.

Here, I paired the Jenny dress with my Trashy Diva velvet Ginger jacket which I think look quite smashing together!
