CHIC HALLOWEEN LOOK
CHIC HALLOWEEN LOOK
Happy Halloween to all of you! Honestly, I am not a huge fan of Halloween anymore. I love it for little kids, but the scary stuff is not for me! If you are in Dallas, you understand what Halloween and Christmas are like here. People go all out with the decorations. I have seen some interesting and scary Halloween decorations, like Jason (from the movie Halloween) standing at a front door! No, thank you! Do any of you go to Halloween parties or dress up for the kids? I used to, but this year, I’m wearing this chic Halloween look.
Because it’s Halloween weekend, I thought I would dress in a festive outfit chic enough to wear out to dinner. I’ve written recently about how big the knit trend is. Even though we are all getting back out again, we all got used to wearing comfortable clothes. Dressing in knits and ribbed sweater knits is a trend that has definitely gained steam. How cute and “fall-like” is this knit ribbed sweater skirt? I love the gorgeous colors and the lurex threads running through it. It’s a great way to be comfy and stay warm and the same time! I personally love a turtleneck with a skirt like this, but a tee and leather or denim jacket would be great too. And, of course, it’s now time to bring out the boots (as long as Mother Nature plays along!). I am wearing an older suede pair from Stuart Weitzman, but a pair of sneakers or loafers would look great with a midi-length knit skirt as well. More skirts at all prices are below.
I wanted to also share a product with you all that I have been using daily and am obsessed with. I know that most of us are probably on the collagen powder bandwagon by now. I have been putting collagen powder in my coffee every day for the last two years. I was using the Vital Proteins brand. Nothing wrong with it, but I have made a switch to a better one. Have you all heard of Shore Magic? It’s made from Marine collagen instead of Bovine. The marine collagen is sustainably sourced from fish skins (promise you won’t smell or taste fish!), and It’s up to 19 times more absorbable than other sources of collagen. Shore Magic is third-party tested for purity and contains no binders, fillers, excipients, dyes, or unknown substances.
Shore Magic helps strengthen skin, hair, nails, muscles, joints, and more from within. It also helps with anxiety and depression and is great for your gut. I had a zoom call with the founder, Joy Harari, and the reason she started this company was that she was on a quest to help her grandson, who had autism. If you go to the website, there is a picture of Joy. She is 62 years old with fifteen grandchildren. I called BS on her when she told me her age, but it’s true. She looks amazing, and if Shore Magic is any indication of why she does, I’m on it forever! I am just so impressed with it that I wanted to share it with you all.
I have a busy day planned with my out-of-town friend today. I have one more day with her and we are going to make it count! I hope you all have a great weekend! For a fun Halloween video with my Chic at Every Age girls, head to Instagram to watch! We had so much fun doing it!
Stay Safe and Be Well! xx

Lovely outfit!
I agree about Halloween. I wrote an article about it yesterday.
“We are only a couple of Eve’s away from the candy-est day of the year. It’s not my favorite holiday. It’s not that I don’t love candy. I. LOVE. CANDY. It’s just that it’s changed so much from ‘buy a bag of candy to pass out and have your mom sew patches on the outside of your coat then tie a handkerchief to a toilet plunger to get the effect of the authentic train hobo.’ Nowadays it’s SO complicated and I’m not even sure that the word “hobo” is PC.
1. Buy 12-15 bags of candy at $25 each.
2. Decorate the front porch with $284 worth of Hobby Lobby.
3. Plan family costumes from websites that coordinate the entire family to include pets.
4. Make orange jello shots.
5. Buy trough-size plastic bowls in appropriate colors for Halloween to fill with chips so no one at your house starves that night.
6. Watch scary movies so your kids will never sleep in their own beds again.
7. Pre-cook a simple dinner of pizza because you’ll be busy handing out candy till your fingers are raw. But it can’t be just any pizza. Must be pumpkin-shaped, complete with triangular eyes, nose, and sparse teeth.
8. At 9 pm, take everything off the porch, turn off the outside light and listen for the older and unsupervised trick or treaters to vandalize your house.
9. Sort through kids’ candy, looking for “unsafe or open packaging. ” Convince kiddos that all of the mini Snickers, Heath bars, and Skittles are poisoned. Stash in your underwear drawer.
10. Tell kids they can only have a few pieces of candy before bed (after they’ve already eaten half their haul.) Listen to their sugar rush causing them to toss and turn until the sun comes up.
The first doorbell is at 3:30 pm for 3-month-olds and toddlers whose parents are already planning to go to bed early because, let’s face it, parenting is exhausting every day of the year.
These may be more than just a few of the reasons I don’t like Halloween. And even if you have a similar experience, do not stress. You have an underwear drawer full of snacks and jello shots!”
Have a great weekend!
