When I saw this
Trashy Diva dress came up for sale on a
facebook buy/sell/swap group for a good price, in my size, in a cute print and a style of dress I love. I knew I had to bite the bullet and purchase it for myself! I've actually been wanting to own and wear a
Trashy Diva outfit for quite a while now, I'm really happy to finally do so!
It's called the
Annette dress in Mahjong print.
This dress has many wonderful features including hidden pockets, it is fully lined and has a back zip with hook and eye to get in and out of. It's made from a lightweight cotton voile, and has a knee length gathered skirt. I love the gathered round neckline and the skinny straps that are adjustable with buttons to achieve the best fit.
Note: It also comes with a matching belt, but I choose to wear a black wide retro belt instead from
Pinup Girl Clothing.
I adore the colorful Mahjong tiles on the white background, it's such a unique print for a retro inspired dress.
Currently this dress retails on the
Trashy Diva website for $176 (U.S.) but I was able to purchase it for half that price, thanks to lovely lady selling hers on
facebook! This dress ranges in sizes from 6 up to 24.
Accessories Include:
Heels from
Bait Footwear
Vintage hat is thrifted
Bangles and parasol is thrifted
Sparrow brooch by
Erstwilder
Earrings from
Colette by Colette Hayman
This week's blog photos were taken on my own at a Japanese theme gardens down at
Hervey Bay, Queensland at the botanical gardens. I thought these gardens would suit this Asian inspired print and dress perfectly. There were so many great backdrops to choose from in the gorgeous gardens!
In other news it has been so terribly hot here in Queensland over the last week, it's been one of the longest running heat waves in quite a while. As well as the high temperature heat, we also have the humidity which in an absolute killer! My family and I have been living in air conditioning at home both day and night.
Also it's actually my birthday tomorrow, I don't have anything planned as I'm working. Although over the weekend just gone my good friend took "special birthday" blog photos for me, which I shall feature on my blog next week!
Until next time!
