Pickety Witch

 

Is gothic western a thing? Because I feel like this outfit is the perfect example of a western goth. The hat, the corset dress and the Beetlejuice tombstone bag really came together for me when I got ready today! Obviously, this Pickety Witch dress from La Femme En Noir is the star of the show. A new style from their Cottage Witch collection, this dress hugs you in all the right places and the lack of sleeves is perfect for this Southern California fall weather. And by weather, I mean several 100 degree days in late October. It's fine, everything is fine 😬

Dress- La Femme En Noir

Shoes- Dr. Martens

Purse- La Femme En Noir

Hat- old

The Pickety Witch is made from a thick cotton sateen and features a corset bodice with boning, adjustable straps, adjustable lace up front with modesty panel, tiered skirt with lace trim between tiers, deep inset pockets and a back zippered closure. I mean it when I say this dress holds you in. I decided not to wear a bra with this dress and I felt very supported, and that's coming from someone who always wears a bra! I'm wearing a size small and I feel like I *just* get away with wearing a small. I have a large bust so I think I could have sized up but I feel like I would have struggled with a loose waist. I'm happy with the size I picked but if your bust is on the larger side make sure you triple check that size chart! The Pickety Witch is available in size XS-4X and was made right here in Los Angeles.

We are just a few days away from Halloween and I can't believe it! Part of me realizes that I let a lot of this season pass by me (thanks to grief) but I also realize that I did a lot of super cool things too. I can't wait to enjoy Halloween night with my family and eventually share this year's Halloween costume! Keep those eyes peeled...

Slime Green Spiderweb

 

I know black and orange are seen as the official Halloween colors but can we get some love for slime green? I love the brightness, especially when contrasted with black, and this Vixen by Micheline Pitt dress executes that perfectly. It's bright, spooky and has the perfect amount of vintage inspired flair. Basically, it's my new favorite!

Dress- Vixen by Micheline Pitt

Shoes- Amazon

Purse- c/o La Femme En Noir

Lipstick- Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain in Always Red

The 1950's Sundress is made from a thick but slightly stretchy cotton sateen. It features a gathered bust, adjustable satin straps with attached bows, a full gathered skirt with huge side pockets, a removable grommet belt and a matching chiffon scarf. That's right, the scarf is included with the dress! I wear a size small in everything Vixen and this size small is a perfect fit. Considering the spooky season here in Southern California is very warm, I feel like this dress is perfect for a Halloween party or a day out at Disneyland.

This dress is available in sizes XS-4X and is also available in a classic black with white webs if slime green isn't your thing. Shop the entire Halloween collection HERE!

Margo

 

There is truly nothing better than fall. The leaves are turning, the weather will (hopefully) get cooler, the season is spooky and we'll enjoy all the best holidays until the end of the year. I feel fortunate that Bianca *still* likes to match with me so I couldn't wait for us to wear these Ivy City Co. dresses from their newest collection. Plaid is quintessentially fall for me but this color can also read as holiday. Who doesn't like a dress that can pull you into several seasons?

The Margo dress is a simple yet beautiful take on a midi dress. It's made from a cotton fabric and is fully lined. It features a sweetheart neckline with a large attached bow at the center, 3/4 slightly puffed sleeves, a smocked back for comfort, side pockets and a back zippered closure. Bianca is wearing her usual size 9/10 but I am wearing XXS. This dress runs quite large! I'm usually between a small and XS in Ivy City Co. and I was easily an XXS in the Margo.

This stunning dress is available in sizes XXS-5X and also comes in a shorter length version HERE. You can also grab this plaid in a baby dress, boy's shirt and men's tie so you can all match together! Use code 15OFFSCB for 15% off your purchase!
