Y’all I cannot wait to be done with these posts…Today is day 12 of ’13 Posts of Halloween’ and all I can say is thank GOD we’re in the home stretch. I’m worn out. I’ve gone through so much make-up remover. So this post is a huge #mood. Today’s theme is “last minute costumes”. Any of these costumes you can throw together 10 minutes before a party, class or work. Read More >>
October is practically over and I’m sitting here wondering where the month has gone! I already celebrated Halloween this weekend so you could say I’m ready to jump right into Thanksgiving and Christmas. But before I get ahead of myself, I wanted to share one of my new favorite shirts in my favorite fall color and my favorite new booties.
Happy day 11 of ’13 Posts of Halloween’! Today’s post is all about easy costumes you can do with your best friend. Of course I have Allison paired up with me in this post because there’s literally no one I talk to more on a daily basis. In fact she’s literally over at my house right now as I’m typing this. She and I are also the same size in everything which made this post even easier to plan. Halloweekend may be over (unless you’re also celebrating the weekend after Halloween) but there are still 3 nights to dress up and be your baddest Halloween self. Here’s some inspiration for you and your best friend, from me and mine.
Today’s 13 Posts of Halloween post is centered around a ‘little black dress’. All of these costumes can be created using any LBD, I just included a variety of black dresses I have. The bad news that comes with this post is that I had to switch up the location for taking these pictures because it’s been raining all weekend and my tripod broke! I feel like this post is a mess, but I still wanted to include these costumes because they’re really easy, especially if you have something last minute.
Happy day 9 of 13 posts of Halloween! This post is a little different than my other posts, because I’m actually wearing this costume for longer than 10 minutes. I wore it last night for a little Halloween get together with some of my best friends and I’ll wear it today to a bar crawl in Baltimore. The top is actually a body suit from Forever 21 but I don’t have the legs to wear just that so I ordered the skirt from Amazon. And yes…THE BOOTS ARE BACK. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out this post. I’ve wanted to be Wonder Woman for Halloween for a few years now, and I thought now that I have these amazing boots, there’s no better time! (and no….I’m not actually wearing them to the bar crawl…I can barely walk in them).
Last weekend I went to an apple orchard with (who else but) Allison. She had this crazy idea that we should play housewives and bake all these apple pastry things after picking the apples ourselves. We drove 45 minutes to the wrong place but finally made it there. It was actually slim pickings (hahah) since the season is almost over but we got at least 20 apples. It was chilly but super sunny so this wrap/cape thing I wore was a good move. These kinds of shawls are really big at my work so I just bought this Burberry knock-off wrap from T.J. Maxx. I’ll probably wear this with a longer skirt and wear it to work one day, but with the scallop skirt, this is a great apple picking outfit…if you don’t care about reaching the really tall apples.
Wow, I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for a week already. And yes, I am wearing shorts under the shirt in every one of these pictures. Today is day 7 of ’13 Posts of Halloween” and I want to give a personal shoutout to Autumn for taking these pictures for me yesterday right before we went to dinner. Life is really crazy right now trying to get these daily posts out and working full time and making time for friends. But thankfully this post involves the same outfit for all three costumes, just different accessories. See, I’m making it easy for y’all!
If I’m being completely honest, I could have made this entire ’13 Posts of Halloween’ series just Taylor Swift outfits if I wanted to. Unfortunately its a little too late in the game and I don’t have unlimited resources so we’ll stick with these 5. Happy day 6 of my costumes! Whether this is the first post you’re reading or you’ve followed along through these posts this entire time, I appreciate you. And if this isn’t the first blog post you’ve ever read of mine, you know I am 10000%, whole-heartedly obsessed with Taylor Swift. I have been since I was 14. I went to 3 of her shows this summer (you can read about that here) so its no surprise that I am showcasing these 5 classic T.Swift looks today.
Happy day 5 of ’13 Posts of Halloween’! Today’s post I spent a lot of time on because its all make-up focused. Now I’ll be the first to admit I’m not really make-up savvy. I usually just take queues from what my friends are doing and I definitely don’t know what I’m doing half the time! So I’m really proud I was able to pull off these costumes! I decided to link the pictures I found on Pinterest that gave me inspiration because I want to give credit where credit is due. Hope you find some inspiration from this post in the same way I found inspiration from Pinterest! These costumes are really easy if you have a lot of make-up!
