Happy March 1st! It’s gotta be Spring, right? Oh wait, it snowed today, lol. I have been so excited about Spring looks that I have been trying to incorporate them into cold weather times. Hence this perfect Spring dress from Abercrombie & Fitch. I love the sagey color and 90’s style floral print. It’s made from a thicker material and is fully lined–love the quality that Abercrombie has offered lately!

Next on my list are these fabulous boots and while they look like Doc Marten’s they aren’t! They’re actually Solovair, which was at one point the manufacturer of Doc Marten’s but since then the companies have split off. I’ve wanted a pair of Doc Marten’s forever, but these Solovairs are made in England and are just as good, if not better made. These are Solovair’s Astronaut boot, a slightly lower style than the typical combat boot. I like the lower ankle height because it provides a little more versatility in what I can wear it with. The cost on these are just a bit under Doc Marten’s Made in England styles so for me this was a no brainer decision to go with Solovair instead. This style is a nice way to update the 90’s classic and I am super into it!

This Halloween I decided to go full glam and do a Blondie/Debbie Harry costume! I absolutely love Halloween and everything Fall so I wanted to make it a fun costume this year. I’ve always been a big fan of her music and fashion too so it made a lot of sense to give it a go. She is such a great performer and I gotta admit I am a total fan girl!

One goal I had this year–I wanted this year’s costume to be super cheap so this costume wound up being less than $30 bucks all in. I did already have the leather jacket, skirt and shoes so that helped a lot! One thing I lacked was the signature “Camp Funtime” T-shirt that Blondie wore in 1977 so I paid about 20 bucks for that. I also kind of just like the T-shirt and plan on wearing it out anyways so that was a bit of a win. Then of course this $10 wig I found at a costume store had to bring the whole thing together. I know, I know–only the best wigs will do for me. I wanted to go for the 70’s-era Blondie more than the 80’s; think more CBGB punk style than 80’s glam was kind of the goal. This costume was comprised of a lot of classic basics: the leather jacket was originally from Zara and is just a great staple piece to have around. Another was this A-line black skirt from Forever 21, plus bonus pockets in the front. I gotta say I am excited for Halloween this season–as long as it doesn’t get too cold!
