Over the Weekend: The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze

DSC_0214

 

Saturday was sort of a rainy, so we were pretty low key. In all honesty, we binged watched episodes of The Blacklist before finally peeling ourselves off the couch to head to Long Island City for a dinner with friends. Sunday was full of football and brunching, but then later on in the evening Casey and I met up with our friends Liz and Zack to go see The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze! We hopped on the train at Grand Central to Croton-Harmon and it only took us about 45 minutes to get there, which was nice. We had dinner up there, and then around 9pm we walked down to the festival site where we were blown away by what we saw. I had a lot of questions upon entering so if you’re interested, here is their FAQ, which explains everything you need to know.

A few fun facts: as far as the pumpkins go, many are real but some are Funkin “art pumpkins.” But every single Jack O’Lantern is individually hand-carved on site at Van Cortlandt Manor by their team. Also, since not all the pumpkins survive for the full run of the Blaze, they order more than 10,000 live pumpkins, which weigh between five and fifty pounds each, which equals out to be about 200,000 pounds of pumpkin! Impressive right?! Here is a video I snagged from their site if you want to see the Blaze in action! xo

DIY time! I saw this shirt and immediately was dra DIY time! I saw this shirt and immediately was drawn to the color and fabric but didn’t love the ruffle hem so decided to remove it by cutting it off, creating an intentional raw hem. My friend @landonmcgregor did something similar with a shirt he found while vintage shopping and I loved how it turned out. I think rolling up the sleeves and leaving it open over an off white bralette looks so pretty and is perfect for the warm summer months. What do you think? Would you try it?

Before I dive into talking about the outfits in th Before I dive into talking about the outfits in this Reel, I want to take a moment and talk about perfectionism and how it can potentially foil the best laid plans…if you let it.

Here’s what I’m talking about: As I was looking back at what I had just filmed, instead of seeing two cute outfit remix ideas, (both based around a $4 top I scored at Goodwill), I only saw the shelves behind me with messy piles of pants, unorganized hanging clothing that wasn’t color coordinated, and the damn black hanger on the floor that is peeking into my shot. 🙄

It hasn’t always been like this for me when it came to sharing my content, but over the years, as photos and video on IG and online became glossier and glossier, and more picture perfect, I found myself pulling back and not wanting to share unless everything was neat and perfectly “in place” before stepping in front of the camera. 

Today, I almost let the fact that my new closet set up that you see here, (which I had only just put together) wasn’t quite set up the way I imagined in my head, keep me from sharing outfits with you all, which is why you follow me in the first place! Jeez.

Anyway, I know that this type of issue isn’t incredibly serious, but I know that I love it when other people
open up and share about little things that they are dealing with, because it helps me feel like I’m
not alone with what I might be going through. So if I helped you release any perfectionism that you might be holding onto, then that is good enough for me. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

OK, now that I got that off my chest, let’s get into the really important stuff: the outfits!

Earlier today I wandered into Goodwill hoping to find some gems, and ended up leaving with this knit tank. I’m really pleased with it and love the color. It’s a dusty mauve and I immediately imagined paring it with my new bright purply-pink sleep set that I shared on here, yesterday. Then of course I had to turn the outfit into a remix and decided to try it on with my new white gauzy pants and some stacked sandals. All in all, I really am quite pleased with both looks! 

Which would you wear? 1 or 2?

xo,
Christine

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m very int I never thought I’d say this, but I’m very into chinos right now. So much so that I just ordered almost every color that @oldnavy has because they are that comfortable, and in my opinion, super cute!

They are high waisted, relaxed in fit and I will be wearing them until it becomes shorts weather, which is basically not until July. Because if you familiar with Seattle, you know we are about to enter into #juneuary in a week and a half. 😩

Annnnyway, which look is you’re favorite? 1 or 2?
