We got tempted with fall and then the high 80 temps came back. Ugh! So this is the best I can do to still feel like it's fall. I wore this outfit  to church Sunday and then to the funeral of a 32 year old woman who passed away that week. Her death was an utter tragedy and her family needs lots of prayers.

 

I feel like I've had lots of items on repeat lately. The mustard crossbody was on repeat for a week and now you are seeing these marsala shoes two days in a row. I do that sometimes. I get fixed on one color or item and it gets worn out until the next item gets my attention. Do you go through this?

 

Happy Halloween! Do you dress up? We do, always in spooky or scary attire, with lots of other roles players and hand out lots of candy. Candy is hard earned at our house, but it's so much fun! Here are a couple of peeks back at prior Halloweens:

We hit enough of a dip in temps last weekend that I was able to wear a scarf. I layered it over this marsala/oxblood/burgundy tunic that I found at TJMaxx recently. I have a tie neck top in a similar shade but decided that it was tired after being worn repeatedly for the last few fall seasons. I was on the lookout for a new piece in this color, and was excited when I stumbled over this top. I'm also taking note of cobalt and burgundy/oxblood being mixed together this season, although I should have noticed last year because my scarf is from last season and it was already on trend with the two colors. I was inspire by this Bridgette Raes post to combine the tunic with grey dress pants. I would have loved to have added my cobalt heels, but I was wearing this out to a funeral visitation and had already been on my feet for 8 hours. They just couldn't take heels so I went with these comfy ballet flats.

I'm glad that the calendar says it's spring. Our forecast promises to be in line with that today. Unfortunately, my day will be spent inside an office. There is hope for Saturday. 

 

I wore this Wednesday because the temps took about a 20 degree dip. May as well get in one more wearing of some winter items. I doubt you will see the blazer, pants and shoes again until fall. The floral blouse is versatile enough to pull off in spring or fall so you may see it again.

I don't normally consider my outerwear as part of an outfit. Once in a while, a light jacket will be part of an outfit, like a denim jacket or utility jacket, but when it comes to staying warm, the outer piece isn't necessarily part of the outfit. With that said, since it has been so cold lately, I thought I'd throw in a shot of my coat. I do choose a neutral color for a coat that will coordinate with most anything. What are your thoughts on outerwear?

 

The outfit  consists of these maroon pants that I've shown a couple of times before. Here are two other ways I've worn them:

 

 

I also made the necklace I'm wearing. Details HERE on my craft blog.

I pretty much copied this look from Lindsey at Thrift and Shout and that's what I meant to do when I pinned it. I went with a different necklace and my pants are different but still the same color family. I still get the most excited when I see something I can repeat from what's already in my closet. Seeing new stuff is great, but I like to use what I have.

 Here's a look back to how I wore these pants in the past.

I didn't get this post up this morning like I wanted to. I had issues with my computer. That should be remedied soon because I've got a new one. I've just got to learn it and get some of the contents of the old one transferred over. Anyone using Windows 8.1? I'm a little lost right now.

Hope you all had a good week. Mine has been exhausting but exciting things are in store for us, so hopefully the extra work will be worth it.

About these pants- they don't  have a bit of burgundy/red/oxblood in them but certainly pair well with this color. I got the idea straight from the Loft website.
