The Collective

Hey little chickens!  I am co-hosting The Collective today and would love if you would read on... Xo, Bekah

Welcome to THE monthly blog hop party! Every 1st Monday of the month, link up all of your social media and blogging accounts with us. If you're looking for your blogging tribe, this is it!

Orange is the New Black

We are SO close to Halloween! Even though I celebrated a little early (I will share photos Thursday) I am still in the spirit.  You can't really tell because it was so overcast this day, but these "party pants" from ASOS have a fun sheen to them.  I got them at the end of last spring on super sale so this is my first time breaking them out.  I'm linking up with Trend Spin today for Halloween looks in orange and/or black, so be sure to head over there to check out some more Halloween theme colors!

How are you celebrating on the 31st? Trick or treating or a big costume party?  Maybe a big old bag of fun sized candy and a glass of wine?  It all sounds good to me.

I can't believe November is right around the corner.  Happy Tuesday!

|Paper Doll Project|

Through the genius innovation of one lovely little Suze at Miss Vinyl Ahoy, came her brainchild:

THE PAPER DOLL PROJECT

Every blogger who wanted to participate was randomly paired with another blogger, and we styled one another.  My lovely partner was Claire from A Monkey Fatshionisha.

I chose this black dress to be styled.  Claire loved my striped cardigan, so she styled it and the dress with the rest of the accessories.

If you want to see how I styled Claire for the day, watch for her post on her blog.

I love the vintage vibe from these heels.  I think it's the black and white and the heel shape that

 drew me to them.  They are from Payless a million years ago!

And you can't see my belt because it blends in, but I like to belt the dress, always.

 dress: ROSS

cardigan: LB

belt (it's black patent leather snakeskin): Dots

shoes: payless

shades: betsey johnson

lipstick: revlon, orange flip

necklace:  from a vendor at a crafts fair

 The wind was playing games with me.  

 Seriously, wind, you have a great sense of humor.

My heavy turquoise necklace.  I love it.
