When my friend told me how she was a pumpkin last year- by wearing an orange dress and a green hair bow-  I became very excited to create this look for a low key Halloween costume.  Then I went to Goodwill to pull my sections for tonight’s Style With a Purpose event, and found not just one, but TWO amazing orange dresses.  One went home tonight with a happy shopper- and the other one is today’s low key halloween outfit.

I paired it with army green pumps, and reclaimed wood jewelry from my favorite sustainable designer:  Vanderzee Jewely.  I was kind of delighted how the necklace looked like a little Jack-O-Lantern  mouth and the triangular earnings are like little pumpkin eyes.  My favorite touch is the little pumpkin leaf fascinator I made out of a vintage sheet from Goodwill.  DIY instructions below 🙂

PS:  I may or may not have almost gotten kicked out of the parking lot at Home Depot while taking these photos…

I was able to make this Fascinator in about 5 minutes by cutting out some oversized leaves from a vintage sheet.

I’d love to see everyone’s halloween inspired outfits!  Tag me on instagram (@britelightfire) or post in the comments below.  See you all tomorrow with my next look!

 

Love and Thrift,
