    Spooky Season Inspired Outfit #13

    October 14, 2021 /

    This sweater is a different version of the Jack O’ Lantern sweater and I am loving this one just as much! Again, I added the striped shirt underneath to add some more interest with the mixing of patterns and I love the way the outfit turned out! The ghosts are so cute too! Sweater: Unique Vintage (Here) Tee: Fred Meyer Jeans: Old Navy (Old – Similar Here) Boots: Torrid (Similar Here)

They are similar to these leopard print boots I wore for a weekday wardrobe here and are the perfect addition to any outfit!

    I don’t usually wear hats but I bought this one last year from Forever 21 and I think I may become a convert! This outfit is so “Fall” to me and it’s probably the gorgeous color of this shirt that I’ve had for a few years now!

    This is possibly the cutest graphic tee that I have bought! I love all the different illustrations of pumpkins. These boots are also new and I am obsessed with them! They have a nice chunky heel that isn’t too high so they are pretty comfortable especially for someone who doesn’t wear heels that often!

Sometimes self-care feels huge and complicated… bu Sometimes self-care feels huge and complicated… but honestly, the little moments are the ones that make the biggest difference. ✨💛

I put together 7 simple self-care ideas you can do in under 10 minutes — things I use on busy days when I still want to show up for myself. Think quick resets, tiny pockets of calm, and small habits that help you feel human again.
It’s your reminder that caring for yourself doesn’t have to take all day — just a few intentional minutes. 🌿

Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that m Yesterday, my husband took me out to a spot that my dad used to take him to forage for chantrelle mushrooms. It was a beautiful Fall day and we were able to get a glut of mushrooms! It was so peaceful out there and I could tell why my dad liked to go out there.

I loved getting out into the woods and spending time with Jake. It helped calm some of the anxiety I've been feeling.

**Warning** My dad taught Jake how to find the chantrelle mushrooms but also always taught me what to look for when foraging for them. Forage at your own risk. Its always best to go out with someone who knows what they're doing and knows what to look for. Only forage what you are 100% sure of!***
