The air is crisp, the leaves are beautiful, and there is a hint of bonfire smell in the air! October is my favorite – which why we got married in October 17 years ago. This month, I went into the office once, celebrated Taylor Swift’s new album with my sisters, attended an engagement party that turned out to be a surprise wedding, and celebrated our wedding anniversary.
Let’s take a look at my October outfits:
Office Style
The return of this fantastic vintage skirt! This time, I paired it with a couple ancient Anthropologie pieces – a tank top that I bought retail more than 10 years ago and a fun, vintage looking embroidered cardigan I found on Poshmark in 2022. I also love the sweetness of my Mary Jane Rothy’s (bought on Poshmark) and think they are a great fall work shoe!
Celebrating Style
The dress was my choice for an outdoor engagement party that turned into a surprise wedding. I found this dress a few months ago at a consignment shop and love the color, the fit-and-flare of the waistline, and the milkmaid-ish bodice. I paired it with my thrifted vintage cowboy boots, since I knew we would be outside in the grass.
The cowboy boots made another appearance on our anniversary weekend. Travis and I decided to take a drive out to the Shenandoah Valley to have a delicious lunch and enjoy the changing leaves at Skyline Drive. So, I paired a fun tee with a sassy skirt (that used to be a dress before I chopped it in half).
Casual Style
The rest of my looks are different combos of jeans, v-neck tees and sweaters. I’ve been revisiting a few different pairs of jeans in my closet and added one new pair from Lucky Brand (the dark pair on the bottom right). I absolutely LOVE the new pair, so I may need to write a post just about them at some point.
New vs Secondhand Tally
This month, I count 9 items that I purchased retail and 15 items I purchased secondhand.
