Red Fans

Although I don't normally do outfit posts on Fridays, I'm super excited to share these photos featuring pieces from Trashy Diva's newest collection, Red Fans! This range just launched on Wednesday, and clearly, it's a total hit (and going fast!). The sweet ladies at TD were kind enough to send me a pair of separates from this new line, and since I'm a newer convert to the world of separates (especially those from Trashy Diva), I'll be reviewing some of the finer details of these pieces in today's post – and showcasing this beautiful Asian fan print against the scenery of Sonnenberg Gardens.

The two pieces I'm wearing here are the Lena blouse and the Honey Baby skirt. I was initially a little nervous about wearing these separates, since I wasn't sure how the length of the Lena blouse would work on my frame. However, my worries melted away when I realized the final effect really looks like a dress, as the blouse is easily able to tuck into the high waistband of the skirt. Funnily enough, I actually decided to untuck the blouse from the skirt after I took these photos, and I loved that result just as much; it shows a tiny bit of skin – the section of midriff that looks good on pretty much everyone – and it's a fun & flirty look that can't wait to wear again throughout the summer.

As with many Trashy Diva styles, I did size up a bit in these pieces. The lightweight cotton (a great choice for summer) has stretch to it, and the Lena top has elasticized panels that provide additional stretch; because of this, I could have potentially worn my normal TD size in the top (which is a 10), but the 12 also fits well, and the adjustable straps are definitely a bonus. I love how the Honey Baby skirt has a contrasting black panel (which makes it pair so nicely with the Lena), and the size 12 fits me perfectly. Although the skirt is a bit shorter than I'm accustomed to, I think it's really flattering – and it has pockets! Of course, I love the look of these pieces together, but I'm eager to mix-and-match then with other items already in my closet. The rest of the Red Fans collection is really lovely, with lots of different styles to choose from. Be sure to check out the full collection here! All I can say is, after trying these separates... I'm definitely a fan. ;)

  3. Very, very elegant, excitingly pretty print at work here. I love the darker colours and classic Asian imagery.

    Thank you for the tip about sizing up. I've long admired, but not yet invested in, any TD pieces and it's very good to know that sometimes their pieces run on the smaller side.

    You look awesome, dear Sammi!

    Big hugs & happy weekend wishes,
    ♥ Jessica

  4. I love this new print from Trashy Diva! The contrasting blue in the overall red with the pops of yellow are a big selling point to me. I love it when a print has lots of colors in it. You look great in this combo. Love looking through all your pics. I'm so excited I just checked out with the circle skirt as I'm just like you and have a ton of things I can mix and match with it. I'm hoping to go back for the Lena top if it doesn't sell out too quickly! Also, that's so fun, we wear the same exact size in TD. :)

  5. Beautiful! There's so many outfits in those two pieces, I bet you'll style them amazingly in the future. Does look very pretty together though. And red is such a fantastic colour on you! You look so stunning.
    Hope you're having a nice weekend.
    Much love,
