Happy Halloween!

This outfit was pinspired by Audrey at Putting Me Together, which is one of my favorite fashion blogs. It took me a while to find the right vest but, once I did, I couldn’t wait to recreate this look. So, I didn’t mean to copy it so completely but I had all of the pieces and it looks so, well… put together! And the layers are perfect for Fall. Thanks, Audrey, for being such an inspiration; I’ll pretend that I meant to be you for Halloween!

This shirt is one of those that I wore every chance I got after buying it and then it took a little rest in the closet for a while. But now it’s back and it’s ready to rock this season. I was actually going to belt the vest with a cognac belt but it was just too hot out when I took the photos. Seriously, it’s almost November and we’re still getting 75-degree weather. I miss the little chill we had in the air last week.

Have you been pinspired and able to recreate the look to your liking?

My favorite place to get accessories is Target. They have a great selection and everything usually holds up really well. I’ve gotten necklaces at certain little jewelry boutiques that barely last a month before the clasp breaks or something falls off, and I know I don’t wear very fancy jewelry but I still want my purchases to last, even if I don’t spend a lot. So Target it is.

I really like wearing this purple scarf with this beige sweater, but I always feel guilty because it covers up the beautiful beaded neckline.

The hat, however, is a must! I’ve tried several different styles of hats and found that the beret style looks best on me. You’ll probably be seeing much more if it, and others, on the blog this Fall and Winter.

What are your favorite accessories?

For date night, Nick and I went to the movies and then to a casual dinner, our favorite (or at least, most frequently occurring) date night activity. He hates horror films, but somehow I was able to convince him to see the remake of Carrie. The movie was decent. Chloe Grace Moretz did a good job as Carrie, but I think Julianne Moore stole the show as Carrie’s uptight, albeit a little crazy, mother.  He’s never seen the original but I assured  him it was better.

I’m still not sure where Autumn is around here. It was in the low 70s and, even though I brought a jacket, I didn’t really need it.

Seriously, how cute is this necklace?
