Little Tastes of Fall

Outfit Details:
Sweater & Belt & Skirt: Kohl's
Dress: Spotted Moth
Hat & Tights & Boots: Target
Necklace: Lace Affair

This skirt was bought particularly for work, but of course it's had some other outings as well. It's a more classic look than I take to, as I prefer things a little more frilly, but this was fun none the less; and it gave me the chance to bring out one of my favorite dresses that I don't get to wear as often as I would like.

 By this time it feels like fall is practically gone, especially as most of the leaves have fallen and Halloween has passed. All it means is that it's nearly time to discover recipes for thanksgiving and that stores (already) have their Christmas decorations out. Still give me fall anytime - I have a serious crush on it.

Happy Halloween!

Outfit Details:
Jacket: Hottopic
Dress & Belt: Kohl's
Red Skirt: Thrifted
Other skirt & Tights: Target
Purse: H&M
Combat Boots: TJmaxx
Necklace: Lace affair

This might not be my Halloween costume, but it's so themed of red that it feels like a costume. My actual costume isn't really finished yet. I still have to hem the skirt, oops! Eventually I'll manage some pictures and share it with you guys, but for now I'm keeping it under wraps. As for this outfit I was clearly feeling the whole red color scheme. Somehow, I don't think this has ever happened before, but my hair managed to match this shade perfectly. I layered two skirts because otherwise it was just too short to wear, but it was thrifted and who can say no to that color? 

Halloween always feels like the end of autumn, and on this day the weather was beautiful - grey, with a little bit of a warm breeze. The jacket that kept me warm, it's been so loved that there are holes in it. I bought it some five years ago at Hottopic and managed to tote it through Europe with me. I don't wear it as much as I used to, but it's still fun to bring out for a cool evening, and - though you can hardly see it - the inside of the hood is red plaid and somehow it's the same shade as all the rest. 

So what is your Halloween costume?

The Apple Orchard



Outfit Details:
Leather Jacket & Cap: Forever21
Dress: Rue21
Skirt: made by me
Belt: Kohl's
Boots: Target

This feels like the last green of the season, locked behind in this apple orchard of ours. This was a nifty outfit for a night on the town and the perfect excuse to bring out my favorite boots. Both my best friend and I own a pair of these boots, that just shows how awesome they are. Somehow, though, we've managed never to wear them at the same time. Since it's the week of Halloween I'll tell you to enjoy your candy treats and cobwebbed houses. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some bats to hang up.
