Frocktober #5-8

Don’t be fooled by my recent jeans outfit posts – Frocktober is still in full swing, I just haven’t been able to do photo shoots for all of my dress-centric looks. Here are a few other ways I’ve rocked my frocks (too much? sorry…) over the past few weeks…

OK, so technically I wore this outfit in late September, but I feel it’s in the spirit of Frocktober. And this is my blog so I’ll do what I want. It was pretty warm when I wore this dress, but I think it’ll look great with my black over-the-knee boots soon.

I’ll have you know I wore this outfit to go out to a bar on Saturday night. And I don’t just mean cocktails until 9pm. I was out past midnight. Who am I? It won’t happen again, I promise.

I’m a big fan of lightweight turtlenecks for layering this time of year. This is my fourth one from J.Crew – they’re super cheap if you can catch them on sale!

You might think there are only so many ways to wear a dress, but I have fun plans for this shirtdress for even more Frocktober fun. Who knows…it may even spill in to November. MADNESS.

OK, FINE. This one isn’t Frocktober-themed. I’m just really excited about my new shoes.

Happy weekend!

You know I can’t resist a sweatshirt with some kind of cute embellishment! I’m pretty sure J.Crew makes them just for me (and yet they still charge me the same – no fair). I love my navy one so much I’m keeping an eye on the gray version.

When I wear something really simple and casual like this, I tend to have a little more fun with shoes and accessories…you know, because my shoes and accessories are normally so drab. 😉 Seriously though, I like to find the happy balance between sticking out like a sore thumb and just blending in with the crowd, so mixing basics with statement pieces is my jam.

Speaking of statement pieces, I think I’m going to take the plunge this month on an absolutely fabulous yellow suede Rebecca Minkoff bag. Shopbop is having a big sale for the next 3 days (ending Friday night). You can get 25-30% off almost everything (exclusions here) so that’s all the convincing I need! The code is MAINEVENT16. Some of my other favorite statement splurges: these suede pumps with metal accents, this emerald green watch, and these tassel earrings (which are actually not a splurge at all). Shop responsibly, my friends!
