Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!

Just a quick pop-in for Halloween! This year is pretty low-key. The area of our neighborhood gets no trick-or-treaters (despite our lights and candy bowls) so we're keeping it really low-key. I couldn't resist the temptation to dress up, and decided to channel a gender-bent Beetlejuice vibe! 

Wig // Walmart

Hat // H&M

Dress // LuLaRoe Carly Dress

Necklace // Wild Earth Long Station Necklace by Chloe + Isabel

Earrings // Wild Earth Drop Earrings by Chloe + Isabel (discontinued)

What I Wore: Blue Velvet

Originally this outfit was part of the Six Blogger Style project I was working in collaboration with 5 other amazing bloggers. Unfortunately, most of my full posts from that project were lost in my conversion to Blogger from Wordpress. I still have the images I saved, though! So I will be sharing their photos and linking to their blogs respectively at the bottom of this post. The theme for this particular month was Velvet!

It's time for another round of Six Blogger Style! You may notice a little change-up; one of the original members of the group has left to pursue a more cohesive blog as well as focus more of her time on her new online shop. We all miss Lauren dearly and continue to support her as she branches out and grows!

In her stead is Dominique, who I will warmly introduce shortly when we come to her outfit for this month!

This month, the vote was decided to tackle a staple for the colder months on the cusp of fall and winter: knitwear. It's a broad topic, and there are so many ways to wear it. Let's get right into it, shall we?

What I Wore: Market Days

I looked all over the place trying to find a simple trench coat. Who would have thought I'd find one for just $10 at a thrift mall? This gorgeous vintage London Fog trench probably dates somewhere in the 80's. There was another one in the same booth that I may snag if it's still there when I go back. The one I'm wearing came with a removable insert, which I took out for the day.

Nerdy/Geeky Fall/Winter Fashion

Hey everyone! I’m happy to present a new guest post on the blog today! E. L. blogs over at E. L. Lane Writer, and I’m glad to share her nerdy-style take on cold weather fashions. A girl after my own heart! Enjoy!

The weather is cooling down a bit in Miami, and this is when Floridians dust off their furry boots and leather jackets. I took advantage of the cooler weather we had a couple of weeks ago to put together my new favorite nerdy/ geeky fall/winter outfits.

I call the first one...

What I Wore: Later Gator

I'm still getting used to this whole "style-blogger-taking-random-outfit-photos" thing. It's part of the reason most of my outfit posts so far have been against the brick wall on the back of my house (surprise!) I've been trying to get better lately, keeping my tripod in the car and packing my camera every time we go out. Finding locations is hard, though, especially in the city. I look totally stiff and uncomfortable in these, but that's because even though we were way off the busty road, cars still slowed down as they passed by as if they'd never seen a girl running back and forth from her camera every 10 seconds. I have my "easy" excuse prepared, you know the one that's true just not the whole truth. (Telling someone that I'm a photography student who is practicing self portraiture is a lot easier for most to digest than "Hey, I'm a blogger and I take photos of myself wearing clothes!”)

We’re here, we’re ambitious, we’re all mixing prints!

So far we've styled Floral Sundresses and Ankle Boots for you all. The vote this month was divided but we landed on the challenge of mixing prints. It’s something I’ve wanted to try for a while but this finally gives me an excuse to experiment and do something different.

We’ve returned to hot weather here in Georgia, despite the blissful chilly snap we had for the past couple of days. I’ve already begun my Fall Transformation, though, and since it’s nearing Halloween I wanted to wear something a little “darker” than I’d usually choose. Even so, I just had to go with an iced coffee (because it’s hot and I’m weak.)

The One My Soul Loves

Photos all taken by the amazing Brittany at Brittany Martorella Photography

Love is full of clichés, and there's nothing wrong with that. He really does know me better than I know myself. He is my light, my best friend, my home. He gives me butterflies and drives me absolutely insane, sometimes at the same time.

I could prattle on forever with quotes from literature or movies about love and how profound it is. I could compare our love to that of the greats, the idols of romantic relationships, but none of that really seems accurate.

What I Wore: Sweater Weather

When the Georgia heat lets up its relentless reign over the south for a day or two, you rejoice and take advantage of it. The high yesterday was a cool 75 degrees, and that wasn't until 4 or 5 in the afternoon. That left most all day in the 50's and 60's. I gladly dredged a sweater out of the depths of my closet and leaped outside into the crisp air. (Can you tell I love fall?)

Six Blogger Style // How to Wear Ankle Boots

Welcome to Round 2 of Six Blogger Style!

Last month, these 5 ladies and myself shared how we wear floral sundresses. Fall is arguably my favorite season, closely followed by Winter. I've been so ready to rid my life of the heat of summer and break into the warm and cozy fashion of fall, but alas living in Georgia, it's still just not cold enough for sweaters yet (boo!) However, I think all of us were ready to bring just a smidge of fall into our lives this month, so we all voted to style ankle boots for September!

What I Wore: Pretty In Pink

 I've been on such a pink kick lately it's insane. I just LOVE this top and when I saw these shoes on sale at Modcloth AND got a 40% off + free shipping coupon in the mail, I HAD to jump on it (I ended up only paying $21.99 total for the shoes!)

What I Wore: I Can't Pose

I'm entirely too awkward for my own good, but I really liked my outfit today.

I rarely ever find merch for bands or tv shows I like in my size that doesn't cost $25+ so to find this Beatles tank for $3 was a joyous moment for me.

The Youngs Are Back In Town

I'm still settling in back home from our week-long vacation in Beaufort. The main event of our Big Homecoming was my brother-in-law's high school graduation. Joe and I sat with his family to watch his youngest sibling walk across the stage. Many tears were shed (mostly by his mom) and we all celebrated with dinner out later that evening.

Pinup Inspired

I'm digging into pre-blog selfies to start off my style posts, but for good reason. On this particular day, my friend Adri came over to do my makeup. She wanted to do a pinup- inspired look.

 

What I Wore: 2017 Cavalry Ball

I'm a little late in posting this, but didn't start the blog until after the ball last month. It was the Mr. and I's first military ball, and I absolutely loved my dress. I found it at Ross for $24! Can't really complain about that, especially with how perfect it was.
