Treasured Forever

 

Feeling a bit nostalgic today thanks to this Trashy Diva romper. If you're a fan of this brand, you'll remember that they released Pirate Treasure six years ago. It's my favorite novelty print they've ever produced and I have multiple pieces in it. Well, they decided to bring it back and I couldn't be happier! To celebrate these new cuts in my favorite print, I revisited the place where I shot the original version (you can read that HERE) and was instantly reminded why I treasure Pirate Treasure so much.

Romper- Trashy Diva

Shoes- Swedish Hasbeens

Bangles- Trashy Diva

This version of Pirate Treasure is produced on my favorite fabric of all time: stretch rayon. The original version was on flat rayon, which provides no stretch. In the post-pandemic world, I reach for stretchy things almost always so I'm glad they decided to make the change for the reprint. The colors look exactly the same so you can mix and match your pieces from the original run.

I chose the 30's sport romper from this collection because it was a new (to me) style and totally different from what I normally pick from Trashy Diva. It has breast pockets, a zip front bodice, flirty above the knee length shorts with pockets and a matching belt with bamboo buckle. I waffle between a 4 and a 6 these days and checked out some reviews from the locals who tried this collection on in-store before settling on the 6. The 6 was a great fit for me! The bodice was long enough that it wasn't uncomfortable, which is usually the case with my extra long torso and rompers. While I feel like I could have taken a 4, the extra length in the bodice is what I needed and can easily belt the waist for that tailor-made look. Overall, I love the 30's sport romper and I feel like this will be a staple in the summer!

The new Pirate Treasure collection is available in four dress styles, two rompers, a caftan, four tops, a pair of pants, a blazer, shorts, a turban headband and a scarf. There's something for everyone! Some styles (like this romper) sold out but they're holding preorders for sold out sizes and styles. Make sure to check out the entire collection HERE!

Sometimes you can completely change your mood by putting on a specific outfit. When I took these pictures, I had just overcome *that* virus and hadn't felt human in almost two weeks. This gorgeous Vixen by Micheline Pitt dress had arrived when I was sick and I was too weak to even think about trying it on. The minute I was well enough to put this on I felt transformed! It was like the last few weeks were a distant memory.

Dress- c/o Vixen by Micheline Pitt

Shoes- Remix Vintage Shoes

Bag- Witches by Helena Garcia

The Vacation dress is one of my all-time favorite Vixen styles: ethereal puff sleeves, gathered bust with a fitted bodice, swishy skirt with hidden side pockets and a back zip closure. This vintage yellow rose print is from the Cinematic Chic spring line and I absolutely love this color. I wear almost everything in a size small in Vixen and I'm wearing a size small in this dress. I do want to mention that while it fits, it's definitely smaller than the rest of my Vacation dresses in other colors so make sure to keep to your usual size or size up if needed. This dress is available in sizes XS-4X and you can find it in multiple colors and prints on the Vixen website!

Also, happy Halfway to Halloween! I can't wait to pack some snacks in this coffin wicker bag and have a spooky summer picnic with Bianca!
