Cheer Up, Sleepy June


Sleepy and rainy - one day cold, the next is hot and muggy. This is what the weather is like in October's world right now. So she takes her summer clothes and adds warmer accessories when needed.

Tattoo Tights Day


October loves these patterned tights, but the make quite a statement! She bought them to go with a white dress, but found it was too much of a contrast. What would you wear with a pair of tattoo tights? By the way, despite this blog being a place to experiment, these shoes probably have the highest heels you'll ever see on this blog. They are super-comfy canvass dance shoes.

Jazz Age Dress Day


This is quite possibly the first dress October bought that was not on sale (aside from a bridesmaid's dress). She does not plan on making a habit of it. However, October thinks this might possibly be the perfect jazz era-inspired lace dress. She can't wait to wear it all summer!

Do you have a favorite dress or (if you don't wear dresses) wardrobe piece? October would love it if you told her about it in the comments.


This necklace is very special to October, even though in general she cares not for jewelry. It was a piece of costume jewelry passed down from her grandmother.

Vintage Dress Find Day


October found a vintage 1950s sundress at a rummage sale for $5.00. It's too big, but she thinks she can take it in a bit and shorten it. This is October's first real venture into wearing vintage clothing, and she found the dress completely by accident. It was a happy accident, though.
