Then I figured out that I could usually wear either really light or really dark shades and have been hooked ever since. :) Tan and grey are two of my fav combos, as with pine green and chocolate brown being others that I enjoy wearing orange with. <br /><br />Big hugs & many thanks for all of your wonderful blog comments this week,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-9015115179202214092014-10-17T12:31:33.525-07:002014-10-17T12:31:33.525-07:00I use to shy away from orange as I never knew what...I use to shy away from orange as I never knew what to pair it with … and I always went for black.

Generally speaking, we're looking at about six to eight weeks of iconic fall weather (and landscapes) here in our part of Canada (which is more than some other areas get). It's a brief, endlessly pretty window between the sizzling days of summer and the snow piles of winter and I year for it the whole year through, because I love it so much. It's awesome that we're in the midst of enjoying it again and there there's still a few more weeks to go (knock wood!). I'm not quite ready for parkas and snow tires again! <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-69144774778142145452014-10-15T13:35:11.405-07:002014-10-15T13:35:11.405-07:00Very much so!

If she had her way (and money was no object), we'd live in a Victorian mansion that was done up in goth/Halloween decor all year round (or at least a far larger chunk of it than such items currently stay up come the fall). I've always been drawn to the world of goth and tried my hand at sporting such looks for a while as a teenager, but sadly (for me) they seemed to be at odds with both my cheery disposition (I am not in the slightest perpetuating the stereotype that all goths are moody/sullen/brooding/etc, I'm just saying that in my case the two were very much at odds and people were constantly pointing it out) and my complexion, which while pale has pink undertones that black and clothes together brought out to the point that I almost looked sunburned (not a good look!). <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-21461698553195082992014-10-15T01:39:57.472-07:002014-10-15T01:39:57.472-07:00I love your description of autumn colours.

It seems much more acceptable to be wearing "outrageous" things. Hahahah if I had it my way I would be wearing recency gowns, renaissance gowns, and Victorian/Edwardian gowns every single day. Of course that would probably get expensive! I love black, green, and orange together for the whole month :). And I am especially excited about a 50's novelty-print Halloween-esque circle skirt I found 2 weeks ago. I am so excited to wear it!! Hope all is well with you and yours :)Abbi Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00726425193508711948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-38733104517229721602014-10-10T11:01:04.706-07:002014-10-10T11:01:04.706-07:00You are so right about using October and proximity...You are so right about using October and proximity to Halloween as an excuse to dress up. I just can't resist! Any excuse to put on a costume is a good one in my books. Your picks, as usual, are really fun. I do love that orange and black dress of yours, but unfortunately I think I would be busting out in the bust. I rather like the idea of a black lip balm - I feel like that would layer over other lipsticks really nicely, so you could even give other colors a witchier feeling.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-51572853409005105612014-10-10T09:49:31.663-07:002014-10-10T09:49:31.663-07:00You know, I don't believe I have seen that fil...You know, I don't believe I have seen that film yet.

It seems that here it's ok to enjoy it if you have a small child in tow, but otherwise so few other than university students perhaps actually do anything, let alone dress up. And you're right, if you love fashion you probably love dressing up! I definitely do change my wardrobe colours for autumn at least. The pieces you've picked out here are lovely - the cape is so beautiful.
