Outfit of the Day: Red Fans for Dim Sum, Red Roses for the Christmas season, and a Red Beret for Christmas

Wow, it's been a long while since I last posted! 


I hope you all are still with me. :) Sorry for the long and unexpected absence.

I have quite a bit of Outfit of the Days posts, a Black Friday haul review, a roundup of my favorite outfits from 2016, and reviews on two new dress releases from Trashy Diva all in the works and coming down the pipeline! As well as a long backlog of blog posts from people I follow that I'm looking forward to catching up on! Well, I'd better hop to it then!


Outfit of the Day (Saturday, late December):

Late one weekend in December I went out with a friend for Dim Sum. For the occasion I decided to wear my Trashy Diva Virginia Shirtwaist dress in Red Fans. It didn't even occur to me that it depicts a Japanese scene not a Chinese scene-- Whoops! Will I let that stop me next time? Probably not. It's just such a great dress for any occasion. I paired this with brown sweater tights from Target which I got last year, red Ecco flats which I found on ebay also last year, and a beige wrap coat Tim got for me from Target several years ago. For a finishing touch I paired the dress with a red belt from a Hell Bunny dress I have since this dress sadly did not come with a belt.

Outfit of the Day (the day before Christmas Eve):

The day before Christmas Eve another friend and I were planning on going for a hike but it ended up being a rainy day so we scratched that and went out for indoor miniature golf and lunch instead. New plans meant a different outfit and so this day I wore my Trashy Diva Orlando dress in Red Roses. This is one of my favorite dresses for the Christmas season! I wore this with red tights from Kohl's which I got a couple years ago, red Ecco flats which I found last year on ebay, a red toggle coat I got several years ago from Target, and for a finishing touch, a red beret I got from ebay earlier this year.

Outfit of the Day (Christmas day):

On Christmas day I wore a Trashy Diva Audrey dress in black velvet paired with a Heart of Haute Estelle blouse in Cherries print which I got a couple years ago from Cats Like Us. I also paired this with a red toggle coat I got several years ago from Target, beige sweater tights which I got a few years ago from Kohl's, a red beret from ebay from earlier this year, and these awesome Miss L Fire Maraschino heels which I got from them on sale over the summer.

Outfit of the Day: Two Outfits For the Christmas Season

Merry day after Christmas, Kittens!


The turkeys have been eaten, bellies have been stuffed, and all that's left is balls of crumpled up gift wrap and Outfit of the Day pics!


Outfit of the Day:
Christmas Eve:
For Christmas Eve Tim and I invited my mom and stepdad over for Christmas Eve dinner. For this day I picked out a Heart of Haute Beverly dress in Black Cerise Cherry print which I got several years ago from Pinup Girl Clothing. While this dress isn't specifically a Christmas print, I always felt the all over red and green colors in this cherry print dress made it the perfect dress for a Christmas theme. I paired this dress with black crocheted tights from Forever 21 which I got last year, a red cardigan from Nordstrom Rack from several years ago, red Ecco flats, and a gold and silver Christmas cat brooch from Macy's also from several years ago.

Christmas Day:
On Christmas day Tim and I headed over to my dad and stepmom's house for Christmas dinner. For this day I wore a Trashy Diva Orlando mini dress in Red Roses (see my Perfect Pairing here). I was lucky enough to score this dress from ebay a few months back. I paired this with red tights from Kohl's, red Ecco flats, a red cardigan from Nordstrom Rack from several years ago, and my red overcoat from Target also from several years ago.

Matching Your Dress To Your Teaware Part 23: Red Roses For Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!


With Christmas Eve here and Christmas day just around the corner I wanted to showcase a red roses pairing for this year's holiday season.

Red roses are the most sophisticated and elegant quintessential flower for floral prints. It's symbol for love is known worldwide. And while red roses is a common motif for the summer season and for Valentine's day, I think it is also a perfect flower for Christmas as well. After all, it is a classic beauty which should be enjoyed year round and in fact, even has Christmas colors built into it-- classic and traditional Christmas red and green!

I found this lovely Porcelain Red Rose Teapot on Etsy from the shop Willow Tree Chickadee. This teapot features a gorgeous and abundant all over red rose pattern which continues on top the teapot lid. The elegant molded swirls on the handle gives it a bit of a whimsical feel while the lovely handle on the lid is topped with small scalloping that is reminiscent of flower petals. One of the things that I love most about this teapot though is the scalloped edges on the top and at the bottom of the body of the teapot which not only gives this teapot texture but also visual balance. This teapot is so dainty and classically ladylike.

The elegant red roses with their multi-shaded petals and leaves against a classic white background on this teapot are a perfect match with Trashy Diva's red roses print. The cut of this dress features graceful piping along the neckline, flattering ruching along the bust, and a shorter hemline than Trashy Diva's usual hemlines, all elements which give this dress a dainty and classically ladylike feel to it. While red roses are not a typical motif for Christmas celebrations, I feel that this elegant and classic design is perfect for a classic Christmas day celebration. What a perfect Christmas morning it would be to put on some Christmas tunes, preferably to the crooning of Doris Day or Elvis, while wearing this dress and sipping tea from this beautiful red roses teapot!
