Halloween Costume DIY.

Halloween Costumes can be easily put together this season. Try these easy combos below for a 

quick costume. All you need is a few simple items from your closet. If you don't own these wardrobe staples they can be purchased for much cheaper than buying a full blown costume. Save your money and buy these items from a regular shop or thrift store. Add accessories from a halloween store to pull your costume together. You can purchase these for much cheaper than buying an actual costume. Don't forget to check your local thrift shops and Target to find items for your costume. Below are ideas for a hippie, cat, barbie, witch, and where's Waldo.

Bell bottoms + Moccasins + Tie Dye = Hippie

Black Jumpsuit + Black Boots + Fur Jacket = Black Cat

Pink dress + Pink Purse + Pink Lipstick + Pink Heels = Barbie

Lace Black Dress + Stripe Tights + Black Booties = Witch

Red and White Striped Top + Blue Jeans + Brown Shoes = Where's Waldo

Autumn Style.

The Fall season is such a fun time to play around with layering and color. Fashion is such a great way to express yourself and the Fall season is a great time to mess around with different textures, prints, and colors.

     1. Mixed textures: leather & knit

This trend can be super easy to put together this Fall. All you need to do is start

with one staple leather item whether it be a skirt, top, shorts, or a small leather panel

on a top or sweater. You can mix this leather piece with a comfy knit sweater to soften

the edgy leather. With this look I paired an a-line leather skirt with an oversize grey sweater.

I topped off these two pieces with a statement necklace to tie the colors together. I also

chose a royal blue flat because this blue is very popular this autumn season. 

2. Fall Florals

This next trend can be accomplished by transitioning a floral summer dress into the winter
or by choosing a darker floral for the fall. This dress has a black base which makes it perfect
for the colder season. Since it has sleeves I didn't choose a cardigan to cover up but instead
a pair of black tights and a knit red scarf for some warmth. I chose a gold bracelet to add a little
flair to the look. These tan ankle boots also work really well with the colors in the dress. 

3. All Over Prints

Mixing prints can be a difficult trend to pull off. To accomplish this successfully pair
two prints that share a similar color. For example this striped pencil skirt is paired with an
abstract print that also features only two colors. This pea green color is less summer and more
fall. When mixing prints consider going for a less dramatic shoe. These black flats bring the look together. You can tuck the blouse in the front of the skirt and leave the back draping out.

4. Biker Denim on Denim

Denim on denim is so chic. And biker staples are everywhere this season. Instead
of choosing a leather biker jacket consider denim. This jacket is extremely versatile
it can be worn over a floral dress or over a basic tee like this look. A pair of denim
boyfriend jeans are perfect for this outfit. The denim on denim works well together because
it features two different shades of denim. Avoid wearing denim of all the same shade. I also
chose a sexy black heel to counteract the mens style denim I chose for the look. 

5. White on White

Who says you can't wear white after labor day? Sure you can! This white dress is so effortless

and paired with a sheer pair of black tights and white ankle boots it is perfection for the fall. I 

also chose a white scarf to bring the look into the fall and make it less of a summer feel. Some

white accessories can top off the look. If its cold pair a white jacket with the look or a black 

sweater if you feel self conscious about all of the white. Layering white on white can be chic.

Colder Weather.

It seems to be getting colder and colder everyday. This is just the excuse I needed to get my Dior grandpa sweater out. I love wearing this sweater with leggings. Its such a comfortable and cute look.

I love these printed trousers I recently purchased at TJ Maxx I wore them with a basic tee and cardigan

this day and used a hot pink scarf as a pop of color. I cant wait to wear these pants again with a colored

blouse and some chunky jewelry. These could also look cute with a short colorful pair of heels.

With my ankle length trousers I wore a button up magenta colored blouse that has leather 

cuffs and collar. I also wore my snake print flats to mix up the look. I always seem to go straight 

to my black shoes! Next time I think I will tuck in a blouse and belt the trousers!

I love my new denim biker jacket. Perfect for fall weather and not your basic denim jacket!

Busy bee.

I've been a super busy bee working my two jobs! Above are two photos of looks I wore last week. Both are a black and red theme which is perfect for fall. The first look features my new houndstooth leggings. I have an obsession with that print! And I paired it with my red bustier and a black blouse. The second look shows my new red midi length skirt. I love the pleats in the front and the zipper in the back. I wore it with a basic black sweater and loafers for a work appropriate look. Hopefully i'll be back soon with a new post!

Tunics & Leggings.

This oversize sweater is perfect with leggings and flats for a fall fashion look. This sweater from H&M and leggings from Target make for a great low price yet fashionable look. These penny loafers make

a more sophisticated look and hair pulled back with a scarf adds some dimension to the cozy look.

This day I wore my liquid leggings which look like a faux leather. I wore an oversize 

shirt from forever 21 which is made from a super soft fabric. My printed scarf matches 

the grey ankle boots for another cozy fall look.  You could purchase a similar 

pull over sweater in the mens department for a menswear inspire look.

My last look features a sheer tunic instead of a sweater. This long tunic from TJ Maxx is perfect with

my velvet American Apparel leggings. I wore them with my penny loafers again and a knit houndstooth scarf. Although I love long sweaters with leggings a sheer tunic can look extremely delicate and pretty. And this orange color is perfect for the fall season. 

Leggings + Tunics + Scarf = Perfect Fall Look.
