Magical Merchandise: Retro Rewind

Happy Monday!  Today, I wanted to do a special edition of my Magical Merchandise Monday posts in honor of Dapper Day.  I thought this was the perfect opportunity since the unofficial event was this past weekend (on the 23rd & 24th) at Disneyland, and it's coming up next weekend (on the 30th & 1st) at Walt Disney World!  So let's dive in!

Over the past few weeks, two of my favorite retail shops have released retro themed Disney clothing collections and I wanted to share them with you!  They're so fun!!!

The first new merchandise that jumped out at me was the Disney Retro collection from Torrid.  They have slowly been adding items over the past few months.

One of the first items released in the collection was the Disney Villains Sweetheart Tie Front Dress.  I'm not really into the Villains and their evil ways, but I love the style of this dress.  The blue details at the chest and waist really pop too!

This Lilo & Stitch Swing Halter Dress was cute... but I didn't absolutely need it.

I also like this Alice in Wonderland Cheshire Cat Dress.  I'm also not really into Alice in Wonderland stuff... but I love the colors of the Cheshire Cat and the cut of this dress.  If it goes on sale... I might have to get one.

I'm obsessed with all things Tangled and this V-Neck Romper jumped out at me.  I've never actually worn a romper so I'm a little hesitant about it, but I might try one out!

The Minnie Mouse Tie Front Romper also intrigued me.  I love the red tie detail at the chest, and the built in yellow belt look at the waist.  Also, it's not easy to find stuff in Minnie's retro colored outfit.  This might have to be another thing in my wardrobe that I get out of my comfort zone in order to wear!

I love this Retro Mickey Mouse Bathing Suit!  They literally released this last week in what I'm assuming is the last wave of retro merchandise.

Last week, they also released two pairs of shoes that I wasn't expecting!  If you like the Cheshire Cat dress or the Villains dress, these shoes match them perfectly!

My favorite piece from the Torrid Disney Retro Collection is the Pixar Up Shirred Bust Skater Dress.  I love Up and I knew that I had to get this as soon as I saw it.  It was actually released on our first day in California, and I was thrilled that I was still able to order it once I got home from CA.  (This was part of my Torrid order where I used my rewards from Torrid and my Discover card so my order ended up being completely free!  I also got a St. Patrick's Day Mickey shirt.)  It arrived about two weeks later and I tried it on and it fit perfectly.  I love my new dress!  It's so fun and colorful!

The second Disney Retro Collection is another collaboration with Her Universe and Hot Topic.  The items were available on both websites and they proved to be very popular; I'm hoping this means that they'll make more collections with styles like this!

The first item from the collection was the Little Mermaid Dress.  I like how the top of the dress looks like Ariel's sea shell bra top.  The pattern at the bottom is cute too!

The other dress in the collection is the Lotso Bear Dress.  While Lotso is technically a villain, he's also really cute!  I love this cute patterned dress!

I also fell for this Steamboat Willie Vest.  It's unisex, and I'm tempted to get one for both me and Eliot.  I'd love a more fitted one to wear with a black undershirt.  Then, Eliot could also have one to wear and match me in the next outfit in the collection...

Guys... there's more Steamboat Willie stuff!  I love this button down shirt.  This is fitted for women, but I'm tempted to size up to get one for Eliot too.  It's so cute!

My absolute favorite piece from this collection was the Steamboat Willie Suspender Skirt.  This was the most popular item in the collection and it sold out pretty quickly on both sites.  Luckily for me, I was paying attention and I nabbed one of the last ones in my size from Hot Topic before it sold out.  My skirt arrived in the mail earlier this month and I love it so much!!!  The little buttons have anchors on them and it's perfect.  I'm dying to wear it on our next Disney Cruise!  It would be perfect for it!

And there you have it!  Aren't these new styles perfect for Dapper Day?  I hope Torrid and Her Universe make more retro clothing!  These outfits are also the perfect way to bring a little bit of magical retro style to your everyday wardrobe!  °o°
