Since Halloween is next week. Sharing the easiest thing to do when you do not want to spend for Halloween costumes. Also check out my last years Halloween costume here as Audrey Hepburn.

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon and I was thinking of something to do. I came up with the idea of sharing some simple DIY Halloween costumes. We already own these outfits and did not need to buy anything new. Also those animal headbands we got from Dollar store from long time ago. The only thing is at least you should know how to do make up. There are a lot of Youtube tutorials you can watch
and Pinterest on how to do the make up. I have my own make up and did not need to buy.

Listed below are the items I used to create the make up look.

ON ADI, ANDI AND AIDAN:

In just a short period of time, we already came up with this costume. For the outfits, You can always wear anything black and white and it will easily go with the make up. I’m not a make up guru I just did what I think looks like the cheetah and zebra.

I hope I was able to give you an easy and quick Halloween costume to make. Specially for me who is a mom of three. It can be costly to buy costumes when you are on a tight budget. This will help you save money and still make you and the whole family Halloween Party ready.

Here is this soft and chic style dress that can be worn on any upcoming occasion you may have, be it wedding, cocktail parties and other events you might need to dress up with.

In here I just paired it with the still on trend white booties. I added a little bit of Fall vibe in this style.

on this one, if you are not into white booties, I have paired the dress with this trendy knee high boots. This color combo if perfect for Fall. You can never go wrong with mustard yellow and brown hues. Check this post I had last year with yellow dress.

In case the temp continues to drop, you can just add a trench coat to finish the whole look. I would go with a neutral colored coat to match this dress. I just had so much fun trying out different ways to style this fun dress. It just hide my imperfections on my mid section and the cut and the tie waist actually made this dress so chic.

These are all my Fall casual styles I created wearing all the items I already have in my closet and just mix matching them creating different looks for y’all. These styles are easy to create and can be worn as an everyday style.

It is not really cold yet for me to wear these items yet as the weather is still feels very Summer here in our area in Maryland. But I am actually excited for this weekend as the weather is gonna be very Fall like. I can wear all my Fall outfits then while we go apple picking and pumpkin patch.

I am so blessed to be able to still enjoy last days of Summer because I definitely missed it as I was very pregnant. And so glad September was really good weather wise and enjoyed spending my maternity leave with the family. Tomorrow I will be returning to work and will really miss the time I spend home.

Sweater Dresses under $100 for y’all who loves to wear dresses all year round. These are amazing for this Fall season with those boots, check this post about boots.

If you have been following me for a while now. If I can wear dresses all year round, I would. So I posted all these chic sweater dresses that are fashionable and affordable at the same time. We can always refresh our wardrobe with these pieces.

One of my favorite here is the grey knit sweater dress with tie belt and also trendy leopard print dress. I love how it was worn with white mid calf boots. I would also love to wear these with a coat like this and this when comes Winter and the temp really dropped so much and add knee length or over the knee boots.

I remember when I was still living in the Philippines. I used to imagine myself wearing them. I love it that I live in a four seasons state and be able to wear beautiful styles like these. This is also considered as a fall basic just make sure that the style is not so trendy. The timeless piece here is the striped one and the belted one on the left upper right.

I hope I was able to inspire you with all these chic and affordable pieces. I must say there all 7 pieces of them are under $50 which make it even better. Happy shopping and thank you once again for stopping by simplychristianne.

Y’all have a wonderful weekend!

Favorite Fall Booties in different styles are here again to add life to your outfit that will give you comfort and warmth. I have put up all these different styles for y’all to keep inspired.

My personal favorite here is number two because of the leather material. It goes well with every outfit and also number six and eight styles. I own booties in snake skin and I guess I am gonna have to get me the leopard print since I am loving that trend. I do have leopard print in flats which I am loving the most.

The open toe booties is perfect too specially when the weather is just chilly and adding a cardigan to finish the look. Suede material is also one of the styles that are really a fall staple and will also go well with almost all the outfit.

If you are looking for something that will make you look tall. Always go for something with heels and is pointed toe. I also believe the square toe is trying to come back this season.

If we can just get all these items in our cart right? But if you are on a budget, I suggest, go for the basic that are timeless and will never go out of style. You can wear it for a long time and you can just add a new style next season. Check my past post here about this timeless booties if you are on the hunt. I have been wearing it each Fall season and it never goes out of style.

How about you? What is your favorite from here? Let me know from your comments below. And as always, thank you for stopping by. See you again on the next blog post and will be talking about a lot of Fall fashion and some home decors….

Today here in Maryland, it is a little chilly. As we are approaching the official start of Fall. I don’t know about you but I can already feel its presence with the changing colors of the leaves and the temp is cooling down. But I am loving it, it is not too cold or too hot. All we need is some chic and cozy sweater just like the ones I have put up on here for your guide to buying your sweater cardigan for this season.

There are a lot of beautiful options for all of us depending on the budget and style we are looking for. So I created this save vs splurge for all of you to choose from.

Through the years I have collected so many sweater cardigans and I have it on different length. I do love me a long cardigan and this year I am rooting on things with Fall colors like, tan, mustard and burgundy. I know I have completed all the basic colors and now I am expanding my options and adding some fun prints and colors that I do recommend you have in your closet.

They can easily add life to your basic shirt and jeans style. Speaking of Fall, what do you love about it or the things you like doing every Fall. Check out all the fun Fall activities we do here.

What I wanna do this Fall is go up north towards New England and see how beautiful it is up there when the leaves start changing colors. I heard they are really beautiful and wanted to see for myself. And checked into their cabins as our Fall getaway with the family.

Thank you so much for stopping by and see you again next time.
