Hello, and welcome to my blog
I hope everyone is enjoying Halloween week!
🎃👻🎃👻🎃
I chose my outfit today loosely on theme for the holiday,
in a shade of orange, with some black
This outfit is another in my continuing quest
to cover all the bases,
and dress in accordance with current,
erratic weather changes
It has been quite warm and wonderful one day,
(or part of the day),
and cool and cloudy or rainy the next
Today seemed to demand a layer,
so this is the look I came up with
What are your solutions
for changeable bridge season weather?
I chose this black and white check print dress
It is a medium weight knit and is pretty season-less
Also, it is in one of my go-to styles to wear, fit and flare
Layering an orange coral cropped open cardigan
over the dress today
Everything cropped is co-existing this season
with what seems like everything else!
Have you noticed there are a lot of influences
and different silhouettes happening
in a hodge hodge this season?
I'm seeing and hearing:
⭐️The classics are back (think polished and preppy),
and oh my gosh the cardigans-
they are everywhere like never before!
⭐️Eighties influences are big (very maximalist)
⭐️Belts are even bigger, emphasizing the waist
⭐️Western wear is very influential this season,
especially denim dresses and skirts
⭐️Color trends are both bold statement colors,
and warm, rich neutrals, including brown, of course
⭐️Oh, and suede is the textile of the season
Am I missing anything?
I'm sure I am...😵💫
Carrying a vintage black leather structured handle bag,
with unusual rectangular, silver tone hardware
Although large, soft, slouchy bags
are trending this season,
I will likely be skipping this trend
unless I find one that works for my small frame
Oversized and slouchy is for those who can pull it off,
and most of the time, that is not me
More and more I am
carefully picking and choosing from current trends
to find what suits me best
I chose silver tone jewelry for this outfit,
since the bag hardware is silver tone,
and a special feature
Wearing a hinged bar bracelet,
and teardrop post earrings
Another accessory is a black and white polka dot scarf
(ignore the black sash, it was too much and I took it off!) For shoes, I am wearing this jaunty pair of two-tone,
low block heel spectators
They have a black and white cross hatched design
with black toe caps
Sling backs are a trend I can get behind with fervor
as they have already been a favorite of mine for years!
This is going on, but not in full force yet!
Only a few trees are starting to drop their leaves, so far
October 26th was Roger's birthday,
so I baked him double dark chocolate
brownie cupcakes,
with dark chocolate fudge icing-
he is a BIG chocolate lover! 🍫
🧁🎈🎉🎂🎁🎈🥳
Happy Birthday sweetheart!
Thanks for joining me-
hope you have a wonderful week!
