Spooky Style in Saddle Shoes

I had too much fun wearing this outfit all day! But that's what fashion is all about, right? Here's my interpretation of a festive Halloween outfit - a bit retro style - without the embarrassing tacky embroidered sweater vests. Black and orange with a skull scarf throw on for good measure. 

I went shopping on Wednesday and came across all these little gems: the skater skirt, the saddle shoes, and the retro glasses. I cannot believe I got those shoes for $10!! They're so comfortable and it's nice wearing something other than boots, sandals, or ballet flats. I also like that they have a lot of personality but they can match practically anything. Best part of all - I'm about to start swing dancing lessons soon and saddles shoes are perfect! 

For Halloween night, I watched scary movies on the big projector screen at my favorite bar.  My friends and I played rummy while trying not to scream at the scary parts. It was a cozy evening. What did you do Halloween night?

Casual Skulls and Stripes on a Lazy Sunday

This past Sunday was a pretty lazy day which was perfect. We had a huge Saturday helping with a zombie charity run (pictures to come) and then a friend organized a scavenger hunt birthday party. So I wanted to keep my clothes easy and comfortable the next day. I kept the color palette simple but played with patterns. I love the ease and movement of the tank top tunic and long cardigan. Both items skim over my curves just in the right way. The tank top works well because it almost flares out at the bottom but the top part is very close to my body and the ruffle/zipper detail draws the eyes up. Finish the look with comfortable riding boots and lipstick and I'm ready for Sunday Funday! 

Both tops are from my very stylish friend, Sasha. I keep wearing so many of her clothes on my blog that I'm starting to think I should give her her own source when listing my resources!
