I still haven’t worked out what to do when I grow up! I’m mainly a writer, an artist, and a fairytale dressmaker with various crafty hobbies! Here (and on YouTube) I share bits of my life, thoughts, and what I’m learning along the way. Let’s find magic and inspiration; join me for this creative living adventure!

Weekly Wardrobe – Halloween Harry Potter style

It’s the last day of Blogtober – I did it! Hooray! and Phew! I’m finishing off the month with a witch / Harry Potter look as it’s Halloween today. I had actually planned to do a goth look, but as I’m sneezing and yawning (I’m so tired lately) which make my eyes water, I didn’t think it was conducive to black eye shadow and heavy eyeliner!…

It’s the same basic red top from the other day, from Tesco, and I’m layering over it a Gryffindor Harry Potter cardigan that I bought from Hot Topic when we were in America a few years ago. (By the way, always go up a size or two in Hot Topic – this cardigan is Extra large and I still can’t do the buttons up without it gaping. Tsk.)

The ruffled black skirt is by Bohemia, which I bought from their stall at Glastonbury Festival about six years ago. Oh how I wish they’d come back – I’ve missed their stall so much the last couple of years!

Basic black leggings from Primark, and Clarks ankle boots, that I deliberately didn’t show you properly as they are covered in dog snot. The light is fading fast at this time of year and I just didn’t have time to wash them. (That’s my excuse anyway.) No doubt I’ll be wearing them for another weekly wardrobe soon and I’ll be more prepared. I will – honest.

The bag is a new second hand purchase from ebay and I haven’t fully swapped everything over from my old bag yet. It’s from Kipling – I love all the pockets and organising bits, but not so keen on the monkey keyring, so I took that off. I love the autumn colours though.

The copper necklace was also from ebay. It’s not really my colour, but the leaf design is so perfect for this time of year, I couldn’t resist. I also don’t usually wear necklaces that length – the last time I wore this one I tied a not in the back to make it shorter – but I thought I’d give it a go. I’m still not sure, but hey ho.
