Day 17: October Begins

"I don't count on the boy who waits till October, when it's cool and fun, then decides he wants to play. "
Darrell Royal

October is one of my most favorite months for the following reasons...

1. Halloween

2. It starts to look like Fall

3. It smells like Fall when I go past a Starbucks

4. Pumpkin carving

5. Pie... Every week

6. Halloween

7. Going to a pumpkin patch to pick the best pumpkin

8. Hot Apple Cider becomes appropriate on all occasions

9. Scary movies for days...

10. Did I mention, Halloween?

and many more...

For this month I am going to try and incorporate one of the favorite parts of October in every picture.

This one is brought to you by Fred Meyer. People like to decorate their yards like it is Christmas! Unfortunately, if you put Christmas lights up in October, you are a loon. And if they are still up for last year, you must be a) A lazy American and or b) live in a trailer. So the creative ones compensate by decorating their houses and lawns with orange lights, grave stones, and apparently, this guy. What you can't tell is that he is also talking to me... Hence the awkward face and stance....

The outfit was thrown together quickly to run errands before leaving to nanny. The shoes will most likely never be seen again since they are falling apart but they were from Leah and were purchased once at Urban Outfitters. The dress was made skirt again today, a little shorter than yesterday... and was paired with a white over-sized sheer skirt from Urban Outfitters, fish necklace from Forever21, and green cardigan from the men's section of Jcrew.

The basket is not mine and can not be donated. Sorry.
