Outfit of the Day: Birds and Butterflies

Hello Kittens!


I missed my usual Wednesday Outfit of the Day post but better late than never!

Last weekend I went out for a long over due tea outing with one of my good friends on Saturday. Tea was precluded with a shopping stop at Joanns where I picked up a bunch of fabric for sewing projects which hopefully will happen before the end of this year! After tea we walked around the shops nearby the tea store and did a little bit more shopping-- though mostly the window shopping kind this time around.

On Sunday Tim and I were supposed to be camping but we never made it out there the night before so I was home when I unexpectedly got a call from friends to join them for a vegan lunch. :)

All in all it was a great weekend!


Outfit of the Day:
Saturday:
By now you all might be saying, "again!" when I wear this butterfly dress. But I wanted to give it one last good outing before I send it back to its rightful owner who so kindly let me borrow it. I paired this butterfly dress with a brown bolero by Heartbreak (now Heart of Haute) which was my first purchase ever from Cats Like Us. I also wore this with black flats and a wicker cat bag because I had lots of coupons for Joanns to carry around with me!

On Sunday for the vegan lunch I decided to wear my Trashy Diva Lupe dress in Turquoise Birds. I paired this with a pair of red Miz Mooz Heloise T-straps and for a finishing touch a red hair flower.

Outfit of the Day: One from the Weekend

Just a quick Outfit of the Day post today :)


Tim and I spent all weekend at home cleaning the house. It was one of the hottest weekends ever but we powered through it. There was a lot to go through and we didn't get through as much as I'd hope we'd get through, but I'm glad we got as much done as we did. Anyhow, while I was in scrubs most of the weekend, I did manage to put a pretty dress on when we took a break to get lunch!

Last week I posted about a true vintage version of sorts of this dress when I wore my Vintage Blue Watercolors dress (you can see the post here). I was lucky to find that one before I was even more lucky to finally be able to get this one!


Outfit of the Day:
This is one of my most favorite dresses, the Trashy Diva Doris dress in Cool Watercolors! It has both of my favorite colors in it, purple and blue! <3 And the colors are so amazing in person: so vibrant and saturated! I love this dress so much! I paired this dress with my navy flats.

Outfit of the Day: True Vintage Weekend

I decided to do something a little bit different this weekend and wore all vintage dresses.



Outfit of the Day:
Friday:
On Friday my husband and I took Tim's mother out for her birthday. I wore this gorgeous true vintage dress I found on ebay. What initially drew me to it was that the print seemed similar to Trashy Diva's Cool Watercolor print. What I loved about it even more when it arrived in the mail was the pseudo necktie detail and the cute vintage button there. This dress even came with a belt! It was pretty yellowed with age when I got it but I gave it a good soak in oxyclean and that made it bright again. Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done for the color fading that also came with it though.

Saturday:
On Saturday Tim and I went to our friend's baby's first birthday party. I wore a vintage butterfly (and moth) skirt I recently found through an ebay sell group. I wore it with a crinoline (my first time wearing one out of the house) and paired it with an old shirt I had from Forever 21 and basic black flats.

Sunday:
On Sunday Tim and I took a trip to the river to go tubing with some friends. While I wore my bathing suit for the tubing part of the day, I threw on a vintage blue with blue polka dot buttoned and collared halter dress. I found this dress on Etsy a few years back and was happy to find the perfect occasion to get it out!

Outfit of the Day: Multiple Outfit Roundup

Hello Kittens


A couple weeks ago was my birthday week and I was out and about celebrating with friends and family. While I have a ton of Outfit of the Day pics to share which I've kind of been keeping up with, I haven't been keeping up with my outfit posts completely, so I'm just going to do a bunch of them in this one Outfit of the Day post.


Outfit of the Day:
Sunday:
A couple weeks ago on Sunday Tim took me out to see Ant Man! I wanted to dress in Marvel colors and wore what my friend would call my comic book color dress! The movie was awesome by the way. One of my favorite recent Marvel movies. For this day's activities I wore a Trashy Diva Dottie dress in tribal print. I paired this with a mustard yellow cropped cardigan from Trashy Diva, yellow peep toe flats from Target and a yellow hair flower from Cats Like Us.

On a Friday I took the day off to do my annual doctors visits for routine checkups. For this day I wore one of my most comfortable dresses, my Trashy Diva Dorothy dress in Irish Polka. I paired this with a green cropped cardigan I got from Modcloth and basic black flats.

Friday:
On Friday, I went out to eat with my mother in law and husband to one of my favorite places to eat, the Olive Garden. Picking out an extra special dress, I wore the most special dress I own, a Trashy Diva Trixie dress in Hurricane print which was gifted to me earlier this year. I paired this with a black mohair cropped cardigan and basic black flats.

Saturday:
On Saturday the nearby city of Fremont was having their annual Fremont Festival of the Arts. Like Hayward's Walk of Wine, I always look forward to going to this event. It's fun walking around in the sun looking at different arts and crafts booths and enjoying the day with friends. For this day's activities I wore a Trashy Diva Trixie dress in red gingham which I got for my birthday from my husband this year. I paired this with my red vans and a fun cherries necklace I got from Modcloth about a year ago. In hindsight I should have tried harder to find the shorter socks that are somewhere in my drawers though! :O lol
