A high end Halloween look is easily attainable on a budget. We do a huge Halloween production at our house each year for the neighborhood trick or treaters. It involves lots of props and role players. There is usually a theme each year- zombies, clowns/carnival, etc. Unfortunately, there is often little money left for costumes. Keep reading to find out how I come up with costumes without breaking the bank.

It's my favorite Monday of the month- 9 to 5 Style with Jennie at A Pocketful of Polka Dots. This month we chose plaid as our theme.

Plaid can be a little tricky for a conservative office like mine. Most plaid shirts would be frowned upon at my work, so I have to stick to skirts, pants and shirt dresses in a more traditional subtle pattern.

Cozy fall sale picks- Saturday Shopping

We took a little vacation in the mountains this week. I had visions of snuggling by a fire and drinking coffee while wrapped in a blanket all week. It didn't happen as the temps remained quite warm for the week. It finally started to feel like fall the very last day, so I still have cozy things on my mind. Express is having 40% off sale and Loft has sweaters and tops 40% off this weekend. Macy's is also taking 25% off purchases this weekend with code FRESH, so here are my picks from these sales.

Camel and grey

As soon as fall and winter rolls around, I break out my camel blazer. Even though it's still quite warm, I didn't waste any time breaking it out this year.

Blazer- JCrew Factory

shirt- Nordstrom option

pants- Loft option option

shoes- Payless

necklace- Rocksbox try for free code FONDABFF

I love pairing camel with grey, and I was really pleased with the pop of burgundy with this. You can get a lot of mileage out of a camel blazer, whether you work in a conservative office environment or a more relaxed environment. It's perfect with jeans and a top for fall. I highly recommend you add a camel blazer to your closet. This is my second one.
