Spooky Season

Two days until Halloween and I am feeling the autumnal vibes in this novelty print dress and again sporting a fall time kerchief as seen here , here , and here .  cardi- Banana Republic Factory , dress- Disturbia , kerchief- Etsy seller Indian Cotton Aura , necklace- Boheme  seller As You Are Botanicals , shoes- Anne Klein I'm considering what other times of year it feels sartorially appropriate to don this macabre frock? Perhaps in the deep winter. But I will also note that I love the pairing of this dress and necklace which is an enclosed pansy. And now for some poetry.  From "May" by Fannie Isabell Sherrick: The shadows are but passing thoughts That mark each shining hour. The pansy nods her purple head, And sings a silent song; Her life is full of sunny hours— The days are never long. What a juxtaposition of the spring time flower with the raven, skull, and amber tones of the dress.

Fall Feels Folk Frock

Peak foliage color is here and Halloween is upon us. I took a moment to twirl around a field in this peasant dress last seen here .  dress-Anthropologie(similar vibe here ), kerchief- Handker Bandanas socks-Kansas City Kitty(fun option here ), boots- Colombia Sportswear , rings-Ana Luisa(more options here ) & Nordstrom(more options here ), bracelet- Slide Jewels If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen the reel I posted of the "twirling" pics. If not, I think you can feel the autumnal fantasy with this dress and location.  And now some potential shots for my folk/spoken word poetry album. 😀

Simple Scarf Style

 I've been really rocking the scarves and kerchiefs here this fall. For this outfit I'm wearing a scarf from my maternal grandmother.  She passed in 2012 so it's a really lovely memory to have and share with my girls. I love the dynamic print with it's light blue and darker contrast with gold chain details.  sweater-Gap(similarish here ), pants-Boden(similarish here ), sunnies--Coach via Groupon , earrings- Amazon , scarf-Vintage, ring-Jewel Mint (more options via Poshmark ), bracelet-homemade, loafers-Anne Klein(similar here ) This will probably be the last wearing of these linen pants this calendar year. The transitional dressing season is coming to an end as we are deep into October with chilly autumnal mornings and temperate afternoons. I haven't fully turned over my closet, but am slowly putting away the warm weather wear for my favorite outfitting season--Autumn!

Sweater Vest Season

If you are a lover of all things fall, like me, then I'm sure you're excited for sweater vest season. Similar to sweater weather, the vest season comes both in the autumn as well as spring, seen here . Sweater vests act as transitional pieces, as well as gateways into full sweater-dom for fall, while helping us peel off the chunky sweaters of winter-to-spring.  bodysuit-Gap(similarish here  but most similar here ), sweater vest- Banana Republic Factory , culottes--Mango(similarish here ), sunnies--Coach via Groupon , earrings- Amazon , kerchief-- Esty Seller Indian Cotton Aura , bag- Everlane , pin-Michael's(similar and even more progressive here ), boots--Marc Fisher via DSW , ring--this past year's Yart Sale And yes, if you look closely I am wearing one black compression sock and one navy, which means there's probably ANOTHER pairing of black and navy socks that I'll have to find in a sock drawer clean out. UGH! However, this an outfit fairly easy to recreate...
