End of the Year Outfit Roundup: My Top 10 Outfit of the Days of 2016

I really love putting together these end of the year Outfit of the Day roundup posts

While it's hard to chose which outfits should go in this post, I love looking back on the year at my favorite outfits. What I noticed this year in terms of my top picks is that I really loved mixing and matching separates this year. Also, I remember saying at the beginning of last year that I wanted to experiment more with shoes and hats, From this roundup, I'm glad to see I did in fact do that!

And so, without further ado, in chronological order, here are my top 10 Outfits of Days from 2016:

1) Modcloth Charming on the Quad cape, Steady black swing skirt, gifted dog sweater, with burgundy beret, and white and burgundy Chelsea Crew heels
from January 18

2) True Vintage 1960's pink and green sheath dress, with vintage straw purse, and pink B.A.I.T. heels
from March 28

3) Pinup Girl Clothing Orange Border print skirt, Trashy Diva chambray Trixie top, mustard MAK cropped cardigan, and mustard peep toe flats from Target
from April 28

4) Trashy Diva Trixie dress in Hurricane Ladies, vintage beaded pink cardigan, pink beret, and pink B.A.I.T. shoes
from June 13

5) Trashy Diva Louise Blouse in Turquoise Floral, Trashy Diva Chambray Circle skirt, and nude bow Pazzo flats

6) Trashy Diva Sweetie dress in Pearl Harbor, vintage straw purse, and fruit fascinator made by me

7) Pinup Girl Clothing Darling Dames skirt in Venus Fly Trap, Trashy Diva black Trixie top, purple cardigan, and Jessica Simpson flats

9) Target Wrap Wool Shawl collar coat, Steady black swing skirt, Trashy Diva Ashley blouse in Wine Dots, black asymmetric cloche hat, and Naya bow heels
from December 10

10) Target red wool toggle coat, Trashy Diva Audrey dress in black velvet, Heart of Haute Estelle blouse in cherries, red beret, and Miss L Fire heels
Posted January 7 but worn December 25

Going into 2017 I don't have any style goals like I did last year. I'm guessing from my most current outfits that there will probably more mixing and matching of separates which I love. I've also been doing a fair bit more trouser wearing-- perhaps there will be more of that even once the warmer months start to hit?

What are your style goals for 2017?

Until next time kittens! :)

Outfit of the Day: Vintage Butterflies

Hola Mi Amigas

 

While there's a touch of autumn in the air and my mind wanders to the excitement of pumpkin patches, corn mazes, Halloween, and all things plaid and pumpkin spice excitedly looking forward to the fall and all the fall outfits I have to play with, I've decided for the last two weekends of Summer to live it up with the last of summer outfits for the year!

September 22nd officially marks the start of Fall this year here in the northern hemisphere and so this past weekend was the second to last weekend left remaining in Summer. On Saturday I went out with a friend to the Vintage Fashion Expo in San Francisco. It was my second time going and like the first time, going this year did not disappoint... well not at least too much. I was a little sad to see that rather than having two rooms open this year, only one room was open. Also, while last year we were able to go to an impromptu tea at the Secret Garden Tea House just across the street, the tea room was closed for renovations the day we were there. In any case, it was a good vintage fair. I always love ogling all the beautiful vintage items there (even though most where out of my price range for vintage), and I also love looking at some of the outfits some of the patrons and seller put together. Overall, there was such lovely things to look at the Vintage Fashion Expo and it was a lovely day out spent with a friend. Sorry I am always so bad at remembering to take pictures while I'm out. I will really try to be better at this in the future. In any case, here are pics of my Outfit of the Day.


Outfit of the Day:

Whenever I go to vintage fashion fairs I like to try and dress in true vintage for the event. For this day, I did a mix of vintage and vintage reproduction. I wore a vintage 1950's butterfly skirt which I got about a year ago on a facebook swap and sell group (last worn here), paired with a black Trashy Diva Trixie top and a black Trashy Diva Obi belt both of which I got earlier in the year. Because I knew it was going to be cool in the city, I paired this with a 1960's yellow floral embroidered cardigan I picked up at the last vintage fair I attended in Alameda earlier this year. I also wore a pair of comfy black flats by Blowfish which I got several years ago from Zappos. For a finishing touch, I wore a pair of basket weave white and gold tone oversized 50's style stud earrings which I got from Modcloth a couple years ago, and for just a little extra fluff in my skirt, wore a petticoat under my skirt which I picked up on Amazon last year.

Outfit of the Day: Three Outfits for Easter Weekend

Happy Easter Monday Kittens!

I hope you all had a happy Easter for those that celebrate or just a great weekend and start of Spring for those that don't. My husband isn't religious at all and neither of us really know any kids nearby so our Easter was pretty laid back but that doesn't mean I didn't take advantage of the season to dress in an Easter theme.


Outfit of the Day (Saturday):

On Saturday, the day before Easter, Tim, my friend and I met up with another friend of ours and her boyfriend for vegan to celebrate her belated birthday. I decided since it was so close to Easter the Trashy Diva Louise dress in Victory Floral would be the perfect dress to wear. I paired this with a bright mustard colored cardigan by MAK which I got from Modcloth earlier last year and a pair of mustard peep toe flats which I got from Target a couple years ago. For a finishing touch I wore this with a matching Victory Floral headband and a pair of rose gold tinted floral earrings.

Outfit of the Day (Sunday):

On Easter I knew exactly what dress to wear! I've been saving this dress for Easter and so was so happy to get to finally wear it out! I wore a true vintage 1960's pink and green sheath style dress which I got from Etsy some time back. It came with a matching belt. I paired this with my BA.I.T. Ione pink and cream heels which I found on Amazon a couple years ago and a wicker woven basket purse I picked up from Etsy last year. For a finishing touch I paired this with a pair of pink and rhinestone earrings which I got from Forever 21 a while ago.

Outfit of the Day (Monday):

While Easter Sunday was over and done with I decided to wear my Trashy Diva yellow Maria dress out to dinner for my step father's birthday. This dress would have been a great Easter dress as well and so why not wear it the day after Easter? It seemed fitting. I paired this with a red cardigan I got from Nordstrom Rack some years back and a pair of red Ecco flats I found on Ebay earlier last year. For a finishing touch I paired this with nude colored floral stud earrings I got from Forever 21 some years ago.
