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: Would You Like Cream and Sugar With That?

Last weekend I went to one of our nearby tearooms


I did not go though to treat myself to a spot of tea. Instead, I was there to help serve the tea!

I noticed one day a couple weeks ago walking past the tearoom that there was a help wanted sign in the window. I've kind of been toying with the idea of having the dream of one day opening a tearoom of my very own and seeing that this tearoom was looking for some part time help I thought it'd be a good way to get an inside scoop of what goes into the daily workings of a tearoom. Having a little extra pocket money would not be too bad either. So I put in an application, put on an apron, and started my new part time weekend job last weekend.


Outfit of the Day:
Friday:
On Friday I had some errands to run after work. I really felt like wearing some separates. I paired this brown woolly skirt from H&M from several years ago with a floral 70's style top I got in Korea also from several years ago. The top came with a cute flower and feather brooch. I paired this with brown sweater tights I got from Target a couple weeks ago, brown flats from the Gap Outlet from several years ago, a mustard MAK cardigan I got from Modcloth I think last year, and my trusty red wool coat from Target also from several years ago. For a finishing touch I wore some golden fan shaped earrings I got from Modcloth a few weeks ago. For the somewhat mild Northern California winter I was toasty warm.

Saturday:
Saturday was my first day working at the tearoom. I thought it would be fun dressing the part. I wore my Hell Bunny Emilie dress which I got from JBR Clothing (now Modern Pinup) a couple years ago. I paired this with a mustard MAK cardigan from Modcloth, beige Vera Wang sweater tights from Kohls from a couple years, and a pair of black velvet mary jane flats from Urban Outfitters from a couple years ago. For a finishing touch I wore a pair of cream colored flower studs.

Sunday:
On Sunday for my second day working at the tearoom I decided to keep to the black and white theme of the day before. I decided to wear this Steady Stella Wiggle dress which I got from Unique Vintage several years ago. I paired this with a pair of black with black polka dot tights from Nordstrom Rack from a couple years ago and a pair of black flats also from a couple years ago. For a finishing touch I paired this with a pair of sparkly black bow earrings but I forgot to take close up photos of them.
