Murfreesboro, North Carolina

Vaughn and I spent our first Halloween together in Murfreesboro, North Carolina. We decided going back there today would be a fun way to spend this Halloween.  

We drove by the beautiful Chowan University, and I snapped these OOTD photos on the street, near and in front of the vistor's center.

I remember when we were there before we shopped at the Maxway on Main Street, so we stopped by there again today and bought a few snacks for the road.

I bought the blouse I am wearing a year or so ago with the intention of wearing it for Halloween, because I thought the colors were perfect for the season.  Today, I finally got around to wearing it!  A nice lady even told me she liked my blouse as I was walking into Maxway with Vaughan.

The bag is from Roses, and the leggings are one of those super-soft pairs I bought from Walmart a year or so ago.  I think I bought the belt in L.A.  I thought the bright orange was just perfect for Halloween!

I hope everyone is having a safe and fun Halloween!

Rosegal Gothic Dress Wishlist

For today's post I am reviewing four of my favorite gothic dresses which would be ideal for fall, and especially for Halloween, which will be here before you know it!  They are all part of a collection of Gothic dresses by Rosegal, which has a wide variety of fashions and styles for all seasons and occasions.  Their summer sales are ongoing, all from 33% off.  Use code RGEN for another 10% off!

Each of the dresses I have selected costs less than $40.

The first and most expensive dress I have selected for my autumn wish list is a hollowed out, wine colored or burgundy dress with a V Neck and three-quarter sleeves.  This dress is sheer with a pattern of what appears to be burgundy leaves from the hems of the skirt and sleeves to the neck.  This dress is available in Size Medium.  It costs $39.03.

The second dress is a lacy, sleeveless white dress with lacings up the front, to a V neck, which is filled in with a plain white fabric.  Gold colored rivets accent the V neck and the enclosure down the front to the bottom hem of this fabulous gown, which is reminiscent of a wedding dress fit for The Corpse Bride!  At $19.26, this gown is a steal!  It is available in Size Extra Large.

My third selection is another wine colored or burgundy dress, and it is also V necked, sleeveless, and sheer.  The pattern on this dress is black and burgundy butterflies.  The hem of the skirt is well above the knees in the front, and lower in the back.  It, too, is a steal, at exactly $23.00  It, too, is available in Size Extra Large.

My fourth favorite dress from this collection is a long sleeved, hooded, black dress with open shoulders.  It has black lacing up the front of its V neck.  The neckline and the opening for the shoulders appear to be reinforced with black leather. Like the burgundy butterfly dress, its hem is well above the knees in front, and lower in the back.  It costs a mere $20.15, and is  available in 2XL.

These are my four favorites.  Please let me know which are your favorites by posting a comment below!

Last Minute Halloween Costume Idea with SheIn

For today's post, I am showing a last minute Halloween costume idea.  I am wearing an off-shoulder dress with scalloped edging by SheIn.   With a basic dress like this, there are many different ways to create a unique costume.  For this look, I went with a Día de los Muertos look.  I have always wanted to try this look for Halloween.  I already had the flower crown on hand, and I found the "makeup" tattoos for just $1 at Dollar General!  I must warn you, though, it did take a bit of scrubbing to remove the face tattoos!

Orange Leopard Dress

 Vaughan and I spent the past few day staying at the Fredericksburg Hospitality House Hotel & Conference Center.  We went to Joe's Crab Shack on the 29th to celebrate Vaughan's anniversary of his retirement from the Army.  Today, we headed home but not before have frozen yogurt at a Menchie's for the first time since leaving southern California.  It was a bit cold for froyo today, though! 

I decided to wear a dress I made by hand for Halloween today.  I wore it with striped socks, and my new bag from Ifchic.  I'm really liking my doctor's bag.  I'd always wanted one, and I like how easy it is to open and see everything inside.
