Happy October everyone! Cheers to pumpkins, Halloween: girls thinking it’s okay to dress scandalous, and cooler weather..maybe. I’m sorry if you have never gotten the privilege to watch Gossip Girl and completely didn’t catch my reference cause that’d be awkward, just kidding but seriously stop what you are doing, go on Netflix and watch it. I for one am a huge GG fan. I first of all have a major woman crush on Blake Lively. She is perfection and she is one of my fashion role models. Even in the show, her fashion was spot on and I wanted her closet. I also loved this show because of how it is basically centered around New York and fashion. I love both so obviously I fell in love and became overly attached like I do with every show I watch. And when I put on this outfit, I felt like I was ready to attend Constance Billard Academy(it’s the school in the show) Anyway, this outfit was definitely something new I decided to try out. I am not usually a very preppy dresser and I have never really had a sweater that could work well with a denim shirt layered underneath, that is until I came across this sweater! I spotted(hah) this sweater at TjMaxx and instantly fell in love with the shape, style, colors, and of course, pattern. The sweater is a little on the shorter side so I decided to pair it with a high wasted black skater skirt and tucked in the denim shirt that I layered underneath.

I finished the outfit with my new favorite flats for the fall, which are these pointed chestnut flats from Gap that I bought back in the summer because I knew they would be a great staple for this time of year! I have been skeptical about wearing shoes that could alternately be used as a weapon, but when I came across these, they peer pressured me into believing otherwise. I am glad they did because I actually really like the pointed toe look now and feel sassy as I’ll get out when i wear them. I really like the whole sweater with a skirt idea and I’ve been testing it out a lot lately. Lord knows it’s October and we are still in the 90’s so jeans and boots aren’t really an option yet. Flats are the shoe of fall and they are usually on the cheaper side because there isn’t much to them. I love patterned flats but also just simple ones like these that go with practically everything.

Now onto my lip color. When the leaves start to change, so do my lips. I love experimenting with darker colors in the cooler months and love the contrast it brings to your face. This lip tint by Tarte is one I buy over and over again when I run out. It is such a nice shade of dark plum and it lasts me forever! I love the matte look on lips, it’s not letting the whole world know you have lips like shiny gloss does, rather it subtly tells them. It’s like “my lipstick be poppin, my lipstick be cool”? No? Okay. As always, thanks for reading my post & remember, never doubt polka dots, they are always spot on.
