A Spooky Little Girl like You
Halloween is one of my all-time favorite occasions. I LOVE to dress up in costume. I’m the kind of girl that wears wigs to a concert and noodles, so you can imagine…Luckily, my new husband shares my affinity for playing dress-up and allows himself to be “convinced” to participate.
At our rehearsal dinner, my mom made an extremely lovely video montage of us and we were dressed up in costume in so many of the pictures.
I began to embrace it as our equity. Here are some costumes from years past.
2008 Marlboro Man & Hula Girl
2009 Cavepeople
2010 Little Red & the Big Bad Wolf
This year we are being Zorro & some version of CZJ from Mask of Zorro. What about you?
A Quick Hello
What I Wore: Velvet
(what i wore: boots – ebay, tights – dkny, skirt – jcrew, t-shirt – walmart, velvet jacket – vintage)
—
Last Thursday, as the weather chilled, I busted out tights for the first time. 
What I Wore: Basics
(what i wore: jeans – levi, blouse – beulah from shop ultra, flats – jeffrey campbell)

Casual Fridays cause a slump in my creativity. There is often something freeing (for me) in knowing you must look proper for the office. It sets me exploring different directions for outfits to take. Most Fridays, I try to be comfortable. It’s ok to take a day off, right?
What I Wore: The Purple Power Suit
(what i wore: suit – vintage from cheap thrills, heels – charles david, earrings – mae’s emporium, pinky ring – forever21)
—
I realize that this suit looks quite blue in pictures but I assure you, it was very purple. And delicious. It was $15 at cheap thrills and I absolutely fell in love. Obviously, the jacket and skirt can be worn separately or together. I paired with straight-as-I-can-get hair and black strappy sandals.
What I Wore: The Best Sweater
(what i wore: sweater – vintage from potter’s house, shift – banana republic, croc booties – gianni bini, earrings – forever21, rings – forever21 and vintage)
—
This vintage sweater, complete with sparkles and shoulder pads was $1.50 at a slightly scary little thrift store called Potter’s house. I’m obsessed with it. It’s a delightful color and goes with plenty, plus I get a strange and heady high from this good a bargain.
What I Wore: Trench
what i wore: trench – tj maxx, dress – vintage from grey dog, pumps – forever 21, “just married” necklace – kate spade, earrings – charm & chain
—
One basic that every girl should have in her closet is a classic trench. This is mine.
What I Wore: She’s a Lady
(what i wore: dress – vintage from trendy mindy’s, heels – steve madden, ring – vintage from cheap thrills, earrings – kate spade)
—-
I went into this little consignment store called Trendy Mindy’s a few weeks ago. They happened to have a load of vintage dresses in exactly (if not a little smaller than) my size! This dress has TULLE SLEEVES! Isn’t it divine? This dress was $15.
Happy Weekend
The weather is gorgeous here in Arkansas. I hope you have a lovely October weekend.
