Wandering the corn
According to Mr. Owl, I looked too much like Christmas in this outfit because of the red and green in/general plaid-ness of the skirt. And now that I think about it, this is sort of a Christmass-y outfit, stars and all. But I have discovered that my wardrobe does not cover all four seasons. I’m either wearing Winter or Spring, and the other two seasons… sort of just have to scrounge around for whatever weather-appropriate wear is available regardless of its seasonal colors.
So far, though, this is the most fall outfit I’ve been able to pull together from my closet. I think I need to do some shopping soon.
I know, I’m a babe.
Mr. Owl and I visited a corn maze and pumpkin patch on Saturday; it wasn’t as big or exciting as I had hoped, but it was fun regardless. We made it through the maze quickly enough that we sort of went away from the exit and lost ourselves to prolong the experience. And we were chased by a little kid.
So, like mature adults, we nearly ran around corners and down passageways to lose him.
Also, we adopted this pumpkin. It’s a girl! And as we were driving home, Mr. Owl took a turn too sharp and she fell off the back seat. His response to my exclamation? “Well YOU didn’t buckle her in!”
Yeah.
We’re probably going to make her into a Mario Ghost.

Ooh I should totally make a Boo pumpkin for halloween too!! I’m planning to dress up as Link so I could be all matchy-matchy hardcore nintendo. That pumpkin is beautiful and adorable and next time you take her somewhere you should definitely buckle her in. It’s an adorable outfit, christmassy or not! Stars and plaid, yay for printmixing!

Yes! Do it! Your halloween plans sound so awesome! Mr. Owl and I considered dressing as Mario and Princess Peach, but decided it was too complicated for Halloween being so close. So now we’re shooting for Peter Pan and Wendy. “D
Hehe. Thank you!

ahhh looks SO fun! I’d love to go to a corn maze, though I don’t think there are any in nyc!
Eccentric Owl
They are so fun! Hopefully you can find one close to you somewhere! This one was about an hour away from where I live, so it was a bit of a road-trip, but totally worth it!

I haven’t been to a corn maze or pumpkin patch in years. Sounds like you had a good time of it. (: Too bad your poor little baby pumpkin had to go tumbling down to the ground due to poor parenting! Haha. I support your carving plans.
Eccentric Owl
You should totally go! It’s really fun. I hadn’t been to one in forever, either, and now I think it should be a yearly tradition. Even if this one was kinda small. Still really fun. Hehe.

This is one of the things I miss about living in the US – the preparations for Halloween. But hey, we have the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam, so I can enjoy that instead! Btw, I don’t think your outfit is too Christmas-y at all (the yellow of the sweater helps.)
Eccentric Owl
I know; it’s crazy how many things I don’t realize aren’t universal. But the Mid-Autumn Festival sounds cool!

I ADORE this outfit, it’s so gorgeous. And that corn maze/pumpkin patch looks like fun, I wish we had them in the UK!
Eccentric Owl
Thank you! Ah, it’s so interesting all the little things I take for granted that I don’t realize aren’t universal (like pumpkin patches and corn mazes.)

I love that skirt! And a steal for ¢99!
Eccentric Owl
I love it, too. And the thrift store it came from– they sell almost everything for 99 cents there!

Thanks! I always like seeing how thrifty other bloggers are, so I figured why not share my own prices? 🙂

I can’t believe that skirt was a dollar! Impressive thrifting
Eccentric Owl
It’s all thanks to the old thrift store downtown where I live that sells almost all of their clothing for a dollar. I love it!
