Fall Fashion Challenge {Day Five}

Once again, I had to be my own photographer, and these pictures aren't top notch... my apologies =)

{Day Five} of the Fall Fashion Challenge.

Today's challenge is polka dots.

Polka dots + me = happy.

I decided to combine yesterday's challenge, a favorite fashion era, with today's. Now, pretty much any era is my favorite when it comes to fashion... I love historical fashion, period. Well, before, say, the 70's. After that, I'm just not diggin' the threads.

Anyways, I went with the 50's for this outfit, because, to add to the equation above,

Polka dots + pearls + big hats + The Grey Sweater + me = very happy.

And that's so 50's!

I also added the challenge from day two, which I also missed: unusual color combinations. Navy & grey are definitely new for me=) I love it!

I waited too long to get this done today, and the lighting was pretty bad in the tent - the only good one is below=) So, I went out on the front porch, which is full of wood, kindling, and more wood at the moment. Though not nearly enough... =)

The Grey Sweater - Amazon.com .... Floral tee - thrifted .... Navy polka dot half circle skirt - thrifted

Leather belt - thrifted .... Petticoat - made by me .... Black pumps - gift

Pearls - gift .... Black fleece-lined tights (So warm!:) - gift

Vintage navy hat with ostrich feathers - thrifted (I'll get some better pictures of it soon=)

Well, we still don't have any snow to speak of, but it's just around the corner...

Happy trails, and keep warm, dears!

Fall Fashion Challenge {Day Three}

I finally found time to get a post up to enter in the Fall Fashion Challenge over at Ashley's blog, Bramblewood Fashion! But not much, so I've got to hurry. =)

First, can I just say that I wish I were as adorable as this kitty?

I am not a cat person.

Animal person, yes - horses, dogs, raccoon, and cats, too, I suppose... at a distance. They get hair all over me. And yet I like horse hair all over... anyways...

And animals on the bed make me rather faint with horror, frankly.

So what is this small golden feline doing on my bed?

Chillin'.

Remember, my door is nothing more than a tent flap, tied shut at night... and it's warm in there. What cat could resist? In she came, and was promptly ejected.

Again, and again, and again.

I just gave up. And now, pushover that I am, I rather like her warm, snuggly golden self curled up at the foot of the bed at all hours - do you do nothing but sleep, Mildred? I must say, you're pretty good at it.

And Tasha's afghan is pretty swell for curling up with!

Today's challenge is...bold tights!

I had to be my own photographer today, so I used my self timer, and this awesome (nasty old:) dump truck mirror I found behind the truck pile in our woods. (In Idaho, we call us Truck Farmers;)
