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.

The perfect days - weather wise - are always cloudy with a touch of wind. There is that scent in the air, something that can't be described as anything other than the wind. There are moments when you swear you need a jacket, but somehow manage to keep it off for most of your journey. On these days I could sit under the shadow of some tree for hours, in fact I have. Years ago I don't think I understood just how much moments like that meant to me. But more and more I've realized how so little can give you peace like this; and whenever the chance comes I know I need to breathe it in. It probably sounds strange to some but cemeteries are the perfect place to breath it all in, to relax. Despite the morbid sound, cemeteries are quiet and those that visit them don't come to shout and jump. They're little safe spots scattered over the globe, ever so silent.
