Fall Outfit Ideas

The month of October…wow! It has been glorious! We’ve had cool mornings and evenings with warm, sunshine in-between. The colors on the trees are turning yellows and reds, with clear blue skies as the backdrop. Though I love summer, I’m beginning to wonder if October might be the best month of the year!

I’m trying to squeeze in every front porch rocking chair moment and back porch swing I can, knowing that this won’t last forever! Soon enough I’ll be peeking out of frosted glass onto a frozen tundra outside.

In the meantime, I’m finding it a bit challenging to know how to dress each day. With the swing in temps, it’s hard to have on the right kind of clothes for the change that happens mid-day. Do you struggle, too? My go-to is LAYERS. I usually try to find thin layers in the fall. My season of life also has to be taken into account!! I went to my closet this week and pulled out a few ideas. If you need a little inspiration, I hope this will help!

What the Preacher’s Wife wore

When you open the weather app on your phone and this is what is says – how do you dress?!

Here’s what I try to do:

Layers is the answer for me.  When it’s cool in the morning and evening I can leave on the top layer, when it warms up I can take off a layer. This outfit consisted of olive green jeans, a cotton blouse, leopard flats and a denim vest.  

Dressier outfit:

Last year I found this winter white skirt at the Dillard’s outlet.  I love the versatility it gives me!  Here are two ways I’ve found to wear it.  The one on the right is another idea of layering.

Now, for a whole different kind of outfit… Brace yourself!

With Trick or Treat coming up, maybe you’re looking for a simple DIY costume?  Let me show you the funny ones my husband and I did last Wednesday for our church’s Trunk or Treat.  I was a Rain Cloud, he was a Nerd.  Oh, did he nail it or what? Yikes!

Along with my rain cloud hat, the picture below will show you that I also wore a black top and pants, with rain boots to complete the outfit.

I went to the Dollar Tree and bought

  • a child’s cowboy hat
  • four bags of cotton balls
  • Blue foam squares
  • Blue ribbon
  • Gray paint
  • You’ll also need a glue gun, which I already had.

costume-instructionsTake the cotton balls and kind of pull them out to fluff them up a bit, then begin gluing them to the hat to create the cloud.  Cover the hat, using more than one layer.  This takes a while, just be patient.

Then cut rain drop shapes from the foam, I did about 20.  Glue two together with the ribbon in-between.  Attach the ribbons to the hat.  I tried to stick it up on that hat, between the cotton balls so it would stick a little better.  I dabbed a little bit of acrylic gray paint on the white cotton balls.  You could also use gray spray paint to add a touch to your cloud.

That’s it!  This costume cost me under $10!

Do you ever dress up for Halloween?  It was fun to “join the party” and have fun with the kids at church!

What are you wearing during these cool/warm fall days?

Stay refreshed by going to a Bible preaching church this weekend!
