Outfit of the day matching green and blue. Shirt from shein and bra from aerie. Pants… idk. Channeling the spooky season spirit with my skeleton earrings, that glow in the dark, from Walmart. (bought last year and yes, I waited a whole year to be able to wear them)
... Read moreI’ve always been drawn to the combination of green and blue – there's something so naturally harmonious about it, like a calm forest meeting the ocean. It’s a versatile palette that feels fresh and vibrant, but can also be styled to be super cozy and moody for the autumn vibes. For this outfit, I really wanted to lean into that natural feel while adding a touch of my favorite season.
Speaking of seasons, who else is already buzzing about spooky season? I know I mentioned my skeleton earrings, but honestly, finding those unique, subtle ways to incorporate Halloween fun into everyday outfits is my absolute favorite challenge! You don't need a full costume to celebrate. Here are some of my favorite ways to add a little 'spooky cute' without going overboard:
Accessorize Smartly: Like my glow-in-the-dark skeleton earrings, small pieces of jewelry can make a huge statement. Think tiny bat pendants, delicate spiderweb studs, celestial moons, or even a quirky ghost charm. Etsy and local artisan markets are treasure troves for these kinds of finds! They add personality without overpowering your look.
Play with Prints & Colors: A subtle plaid in deep blues and greens, a tiny black cat print on a scarf, or even just a graphic tee with a vintage Halloween design can instantly elevate your seasonal style. Don't forget autumn's natural color palette: deep purples, forest greens, burnt oranges, and classic black and white can give that cozy, mysterious fall feel.
Mixing High-Low Fashion: You saw how I paired a Shein top with an Aerie bra and then my fun Walmart earrings! This is my go-to strategy. Don't be afraid to mix and match brands and price points. A few key staple pieces, even if they're a bit pricier, can be beautifully complemented by affordable, playful seasonal additions. It's all about creating a look that feels authentic to you.
Embrace Your 'Mystery' Pieces: My pants were a total 'idk,' but that's part of the charm of personal style! Sometimes your most beloved pieces are the ones you've had forever, found unexpectedly, or don't even remember where they came from. Don't feel pressured to know every brand; if it fits well, you love it, and it makes you feel good, that's what truly matters.
Planning Ahead (Like My Earrings!): I mentioned waiting a whole year to wear my skeleton earrings – and seriously, if you see something you absolutely adore but it's out of season, grab it on sale! You'll thank yourself when the right time comes around. It’s a brilliant way to build up a collection of unique, seasonal items without breaking the bank, and it makes getting dressed for special occasions even more exciting.
