Patch it Up

by Jen on Monday, October 31, 2011


The past weekend was wonderful for a variety of reasons, but a highlight was definitely Sunday afternoon when I convinced David to take me to the pumpkin patch. Unfortunately, I obviously didn't know what I was in for and my choice of footwear was rather inappropriate for the given situation. Thankfully, David saved the day by inventively making use of some plastic bags for me to wear over my snakeskin loafers. Though everything worked out & we got some laughs out of it, the lesson was definitely learned: next year, wellies!




Wearing: Zara sweater, thrifted blouse, Topshop trousers, Coach bag and jacket (both c/o), DV by Dolce Vita loafers

Hilarious! you should have brought wellies instead - oh well next year!

Nice colour combo btw with the fushia jacket and orange pants. Unexpected and it works.

Haha as soon as I saw the top photo and the words pumpkin patch, I thought "Oh gosh, I wonder what shoes she's wearing." I've only been once when I was in elementary school, but I'll never forget the mud.

I went to a pumpkin patch unprepared too! I definitely got some weird looks stomping around in heels..

I've never picked pumpkins before. It's so funny you had to wear plastic bags over your feet.

always enjoy your posts, jen! love your outfit & the pumpkin patch is a perfect back drop!

I have never been to a pumpkin patch, but it looks like a fun activity for a Saturday afternoon. And even in the mud and with plastic bags over your shoes, you manage to still look super stylish and elegant.

You look perfectly autumnal-chic for the pumpkin patch, but yea, definitely wear better shoes next time! Can't ruin those perfect tootsies, right?

:)

FAB pussy bow blouse and vest, darling!

Did you get a haircut? Or did you just part your hair on a different side? I love it, whatever it is.

Hey - question about the loafers. I've been eyeing those for a while, but found some reviews online that said they run about half a size small and they are super uncomfortable. What do you think?

by Elissa on October 31, 2011 at 2:43 PM. #

I love pumpkin patches! So fun and I though the cows were adorable :) You look beautiful - always enjoy catching up on your blog :)

Beautiful colouring, and I love these autumn photos. xo

Goodness, I knew there was a reason I had never been to a pumpkin patch- so much mud! Still, you look absolutely lovely in your slightly impractical ensemble; I just wish we had gotten a glimpse of the plastic bags you wore over your shoes :) Happy Halloween, my dear!

wow this is amazing! i haven't seen real live pumpkin since we don't have it my country. you look great!

BAHAHA This post made my whole day, Jen! I would totally do the same and plan for an outfit post with inappropriate footwear. David was smart to make use of those plastic bags to save your shoes! LOVE this outfit so much. It's a bit of a casual look but still so you. Perfectly put together and very feminine. I'm especially loving that Zara sweater and MAYBE regretting not getting those mustard pants at Top Shop :P

by aliciafashionista on November 1, 2011 at 10:37 AM. #

HAHAH you're too funny. I would totally have done the same and worn completely inappropriate footwear :/ That's ok though, you look mighty adorable and David saved the day!

I love how you manage to make all your outfits look so matchy matchy but not at all. I make no sense, but I swear I do!

by Jess ♡ on November 1, 2011 at 10:54 AM. #

hahahhahaha David is a fashion genius to invent "accessories" for your shoes. think he's a keeper ;)

Lovely color combination! Fuschia and mustard, so warm and autumn-y!
