Today, I’ve put together a roundup of my month’s worth of outfits from my October capsule for you!

This October had quite a few close to freezing days which prompted me to add an extra item (my faux fur coat from Forever 21). Aside from that, I found that the mix of items I had worked really well. Layering was my best friend. My favorite and most worn pieces this season were my denim jacket and my leather/knit jacket. 

If you’d love more details about this capsule and a breakdown of what I included, check it out here.

Day 27







On this day, I took my nephew to the park (my partner's nephew really, but we're life partners so his family is my family and vice versa). He loves to be outdoors, even in the cold, which is beautiful. He stayed over with us for the weekend and we had lots of fun! I don't have children of my own yet, but I anticipate the days when I will! Today gave me a look into the future. I was posing and playing tag at the same time.

Have you ever typed up a response to an email or text message and imagined you pressed "send" or "submit" and continued living life as if that message was sent and received? A terrible habit I have that now I can say has infiltrated my blog posts. Anywho, this was the last week of my capsule closet. I enjoyed doing it so much that I am excited about my future capsules. I'm currently planning the color scheme for my winter capsule. As far as not spending this month, I did pretty well. I'll have a more organized way of tracking and sharing next time around.

Day 20


striped Cosby sweater, leopard skirt, vintage white blouse, puma gum sole sneakers

As the weather became progressively colder this month, creativity and layering became my only solace. On this day, I really prioritized warmth over everything.

Knit sweater, knit skirt, knit headwrap, knit socks. I felt like I literally tucked myself into this outfit. It was warm, it was comfortable and it was a new way to style stripes with leopard.

Day 21


Vintage oversized blazer, Zara pleated skirt, nude heels

Over the summer, I did a post on styling oversized blazers which opened me up to styling blazers differently. One of my new favorite ways to style an oversized blazer is by wearing it as a blouse.

I folded the lapel inwards and overlapped the front like a wrap dress. Cuffed the sleeves and pushed them up past my elbows & viola!

Day 22

I love that everything in this outfit (minus the jewelry and shoes) is thrifted! I look for one pashmina scarf to use as a headwrap during every thrift trip. I'm starting to run out of storage space.

Day 23


Denim jacket, chambray top, floral top, little black dress, d'Orsay flats

This is a more relaxed and laid back look. I just realized that every time I've worn this dress, it has been as a jumper (with a shirt underneath).

I'm not allowed to wear jeans (pants, skirts or dresses) to work unless it's a dress down day. The jacket and shirt are my silent rebellion of that rule.

Day 24



Sometimes, my headwrap isn't as perfect as I want it to be. I did a blind tie of this wrap (no mirror) and didn't see the tassels handing out until after the shoot was over. I could have redone the shoot. I could have photoshopped them out. But life happens and sometimes there is no redo and there certainly isn't photoshop to fix our mistakes or undesirables. We can, however, learn to accept the things we cannot change and find beauty in them.
This faux fur is a late addition to my capsule. I had to do it. The average high his month is 60 degrees and the average low is 38. I just cannot do without a coat. And this one is cute. :)

What I'm Wearing
Earrings - thrifted
Faux Fur Coat - F21
Blouse - H&M
Wide Patterned Belt - thrifted
Velvet Pencil Skirt - boohoo
Nude Flats - Zara

Day 25



The top half of this outfit really makes me want to replicate it with leather pants or a leather skirt. So sleek looking! The headwrap is a sateen fabric I purchased from Walmart. It's actually very difficult to tie, so I was very pleased that 1) I got it into a bow and 2) it stayed on.


What I'm Wearing

Leather and Knit Jacket - maurices (thrifted)

Day 26



My weekend looks are drastically different than my work looks. If I had enough sweaters, the sweater/high waist jeans combo would be my weekend uniform. 


What I'm Wearing
Earrings - gifted
Denim Jacket - Sunrise Kingdom (Marshall's)
Striped Sweater - thrifted
High Rise Jeans - Levis (thrifted)
D'orsay Flats - Franco Sarto (DSW)
