Happy Halloween from Willy Wonka and myself! (still reusing the same photos from this post because I never go anywhere, haha. One day I'll actually wear this to a party.)

Happy Halloween everyone!!!! I hope you all have more exciting plans than me. I'll just be having a Halloween movie marathon by myself. Casper, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Teen Witch and more! Even though I'm not going out I put together a super quick pumpkin costume instead of sharing my Willy Wonka for the 3rd year, haha.

Two days until Halloween! I've been slacking in the Halloween movie watching department this year. I've only watched my favorites once or twice, usually I watch them way more than that because I am insane and have no life.  I'll make up for it on Saturday with a nice long marathon since I won't be going out for Halloween.   Last weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my siblings like we used to do every year. The past couple years it has just been my sister, her boyfriend and I going but this year one of my brothers joined in! (The other is away at school otherwise he would have come)

And now some photos from the pumpkin patch! Jones Family Farms for those of you in Connecticut. I think we all did an amazing job with our pumpkins! I found one that had green leopard-like spots covering half of it so I decided to do a cat pumpkin. My sister, who is far more artistic than me, drew the face for me and I slaved away carving it out, ha ha.

Since I don't go out (trick-or-treating or partying,) it is not one of my favorite holidays to celebrate, but I LOVE the time leading up to Halloween. All through October I watch my favorite Halloween themed movies over and over and over. Who doesn't love Casper, Hocus Pocus, Teen Witch, Halloweentown and all the other fun movies we watched as kids? (I don't do scary movies)

Reusing some photos from last year to celebrate. (I STILL haven't actually worn this at a Halloween party, I don't get invited to parties, haha...I did wear it to the office last year, without the hat.) So, here I am as Willy Wonka!

I took over 100 pictures at the pumpkin patch this past weekend, so narrowing it down to under 15 is a huge feat! I go a bit camera crazy, so when I print my pictures I have hundreds to print from one event, where normal people would have 50 or so. Whatever, I realize I have a problem, but things could be worse. I could be addicted to something that could kill me.  Enough rambling, enjoy the photos and see the outfit post here!

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year (along with the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas,) so it should come as no surprise to you that one of my favorite traditions is going to the pumpkin patch! My family has been going to the same one since I was a youngin', Jones Family Farms (it is also where we get our Christmas Tree every year.) This year I just went with my sister and her boyfriend, but there's plenty of time to go again, so maybe the whole family will go one weekend.

It was super chilly and windy when we went, but was still a lot of fun! We went early in the morning to avoid the crowds but by the time we left the place was PACKED. It is insanity! I went a little light this year and just bought 2 small gourds and a bundle of Indian corn, only $6 for all of it. I'm sharing my outfit today and will share some general snaps tomorrow!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Here's my Halloween 'costume!' Can you guess who I am?....no one?  WILLY WONKA! Willy Wonka is one of my all time favorite movies and over the Summer I realized I had all the pieces to create a girl version.  I always call this purple blazer my Willy Wonka jacket and this ASOS dress from a few years ago has a print just like on his shirt.  Meant to be, right?!  All I had to do was buy some ribbon so my mom could make me a big bow.  I decided to forgo the cane, but I did pick up a hat on eBay.

I'm not actually going anywhere but I thought it was fun and I'm wearing the outfit to work today. Minus the hat and bow, though I will bring them in my tote bag in case I feel like putting them on.
