Hat: Heartbreaker

Cowl: Bandana-Rama

Shirt: One Step Up

Skirt: Stoosh

Tights: Michael Stars layered over solid black

Shoes: Aldo

This is around the point when I started getting sick of Skirtember and pushing it a bit farther. I wanted to make sure to work in some of these slightly trickier skirts (though I'll admit there were a few I didn't get to.)

Hat: This one

Jacket: Vintage Paul Louis  (my mother's! Unfortunately she's shorter than me and was itty bitty, so it's a bit small.) 

Dress: Rewind

Tights: Unknown

Boots: Mossimo

Purse: The Sak

Necklace: Precious Hardware

Bats! They are very important. And adorable. 

Hat: Fave

Jacket: Theory

Sweater: Abound (seems to be a Nordstrom/Rack brand?)

Skirt: Windsor

Fringe Slip: Val Mode (vintage)

Tights: UO

Boots: Minnetonka (similar)

Necklace: Unknown

Jacket: Bebe

Flannel: Merona

Dress: Balance Collection (by Marika)

Tights: these- they're not quite leggings, not quite tights.

Boots: Freebird by Steven, "Drover"

Necklace: found on Fab.com, but I don't think it's this one.

Back view of fun legging things:

Whew! Well! That wraps it. I've got another post in progress where I do a little naval gazing about this whole skirtstravaganza, but in the meantime... time to turn our attentions to the great month of Halloween. Or October. Or whatever you want to call it. 

Feelin' Skirty, Sept 10-22

Hat: Fave (handknit)

Shirt: OP (as in Walmart, I think... I got it second hand and it's my favorite ever.)

Skirt: Windsor (old, but they've got a lot of pencil skirts.)

Tights: xhilaration (probably? I don't know, I own a lot of opaque black tights.)

Boots: Minnetonka (these are a few seasons old, but these are similar.)

Hat: Suture (handknit)

Sweater: Mossimo

Dress: Lux

Socks: unknown, but probably from Sock Dreams

Boots: Mossimo

Sweater: Roxy

Dress: H&M Jersey Dress 

Socks: b.ella, I think. Believe it or not they are different from the last pair.

Boots: Freebird by Steven "Drover"

Shirt: The tag just has a bunch of spiderwebs on it instead of a name (?!)

Dress: H&M Jersey Dress

Tights: cheap random-ass nylons like the kind you buy in an egg or whatever

Socks: unknown, but probably from Sock Dreams

Boots: Blue Suede Shoes (I find it disturbing how many brands just straight up don't have a website. At least TRY, geez.) 

This was my Halloweenified outfit for Hell's Hearsefest, an event that anyone in the area should absolutely attempt to attend someday.

Clearly, I had estimated the aesthetic of the event accurately.

Hat: Fave (handknit)

Sweater: Old Navy (ancient)

Skirt: MICHAEL Michael Kors

Socks: Urban Outfitters (similar)

Boots: Freebird by Steven "Drover"

I think when this month is over, I'll feel a lot more comfortable wearing skirts (which was the goal) but I'm also going to be really freakin' sick of it. And this is without even going out everyday...and having a few cheat days (because it's really hard to get all gussied up JUST to go to the post office, y'know?)
