A favorite ensemble, scarf added for color.
Pumpkin carving this year was quick and to the point. I don't use any fancy instruments, just a filet knife.

The reason I was rushed to finish the Halloween decorating is now parked in the driveway. Yes, we spent all of yesterday afternoon at the car dealer, and I am now the proud owner of an Acura RDX. Though it's a far cry from the models I was initially looking at, it was one of the most comfortable to drive, the base model had all of the features I wanted, and the out-the-door price was less than what we would have paid to add the desired options to a Toyota or Honda. I'm just incredibly relieved to have the car shopping process done with.
Check out the rest of Visible Monday over at Not Dead Yet Style.
Happy Halloween!!!

That's fantastic! I don't have an artistic bone in my body, if I carved a pumpkin it would hang its head in shame.
ReplyDeletejealous of your pumpkins!!!! The talent! I drew a face on mine. It is only the 2nd year I can recall pumpkins of this type being in the shoppes here in Oz x
ReplyDeletelove your pumpkins!!! none of us in oz! x
ReplyDeleteYou are a fabulous carver! I had no idea (how would I?) : > Congrats on the new car - safe and happy driving. You look very lovely, and thanks for participating in Visible Monday.
ReplyDeleteSnappy outfit.
ReplyDeleteSome of the best pumpkin carving I've ever seen. You have a real talent. Glad your car ordeal is over with, and that you're happy with your choice.
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkins reflect your limitless creativity! You look very elegant today and happy to hear that you have your new car.
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit!! Isn't it fun having a new car?? Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou've done a grand job with those pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new car. I feel that comfort cannot be over rated!
Happy Halloween!
The only thing more thrilling than a new frock is a new car. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic in black, but I'm probably biased as a lover of black.
Wonderful pumpkin designs. Love the netting too. Today is carving day for me -- in advance of the 700 trick-or-treaters expected in our Halloween-crazed neighborhood tonight. I am so thankful to have some new inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkins are fabulous--I especially love the one with the expressive lopsided O mouth--as if he's saying Boo! Congrats on your new car--just in time to celebrate a spooktacular eve!

LOVE your outfit - very smart and your pumpkins - wonderful especially the white ghostly one! And happy new car (and Halloween!) XX
ReplyDeletelovely outfit. Amazing pumpkin carving. Congrats on the car - it's a royal pain and I'm glad it's over for you!!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit and the pumpkins are fantastic. My house is so far from the road that there is no point to decorating and no one ventures down my long twisty driveway anyway.
ReplyDeleteLove the printed scarf with the striped shirt.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a talented pumpkin carver. The eyelashes are cute.
Yay for you for getting the whole car buying thing accomplished. Is it a small SUV that you bought? My friend has an Acura SUV and she loves it.
Oh, wow...I love your outfit...so classy and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll check out my VERY FIRST Outfit of the Day post! Wanting to participate in Visible Monday prompted me to finally do one!

I'm a little disappointed you didn't do a rap-o-lantern but I love the grumpy-face pumpkin!
ReplyDeletePumpkins, a new car, and a great scarfed outfit. Booyah!
ReplyDeleteOh car shopping--pretty much one of the most uncomfortable experiences known to first-world man...and woman:-)
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is lovely--love how you added the scarf to add a touch of brightness.
Your pumpkins are so beautifully carved! I especially love the white one.
Glad I found you over at Not Dead Yet Style:-)
I love a scarf, they are light, great for travelling to easily accessorise and glamorise any outfit.Karen xxx
ReplyDelete@Bourbon&Pearls
ReplyDeletePshaw! You seem to have a very artistic eye, judging from your home decor and personal style!
@Faux Fuchsia Awww, but your pumpkin face was so cute!! You're one hell of an amazing Christmas tree decorator too.
ReplyDelete@She Wore It Well Really? They don't grow them there? Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Patti @ NotDeadYet Style Thank you! And thanks for hosting Visible Monday each week.

ReplyDelete@kathy peck Thanks so much! I'm so glad the car shopping is over too.
ReplyDelete@The Style Crone Thanks so much!
ReplyDelete@Pam @ over50feeling40 Thank you, and yes! I love it!
ReplyDelete@hostess of the humble bungalow Thank you! Comfort is SO important.
ReplyDelete@Susan Tiner Thanks, Susan! I'm still partial to black myself.
ReplyDelete@Effie May
ReplyDelete700?? Whoa. We had over 400, and ran out of candy around 8pm.
@Mary Jo at TrustYourStyle Thank you! I do have fun trying to give each pumpkin a personality. I really am loving my car!
ReplyDelete@Semi Expat Thank you! It was really a fun Halloween.
ReplyDelete@Laura Thanks so much! It really is a royal pain shopping for a car, and I am SO glad to have it done.
ReplyDelete@Mardel Thank you! I'd certainly miss having the trick-or-treaters, especially the wee ones who are so cute.
ReplyDelete@Adrienne Thanks and thanks. Yes, the car is a small SUV. It's a change for me, but I REALLY like it!
ReplyDelete@Cindy Swanson Thank you so much! I loved your OOTD, and welcome to the style blogger club!
ReplyDelete@WendyB Next year I'm doing pumpkins inspired by your swear rings.
ReplyDelete@LPC Booyah sums it up just about perfectly. Thank you.
ReplyDelete@Kara Thank goodness for le monsieur who researched all of the options and prices online before we even showed up at the dealer. We were actually quite happy with the deal we made. Thank you so much! A scarf can make such a difference to an outfit.
ReplyDelete@Eight Cherry Canaries Right you are! Scarves are my not-so-secret wardrobe weapon!
ReplyDeleteSuper Like.....did you have a great Trick or Treat? :)
ReplyDeletethe white one is so cool! i've never been good at pumpkin carving.
ReplyDeletelovely outfit.
Catching up on posts and just finished four of yours. This outfit looks great on you. I love the splash of yellow.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to sky dive but never did it so I get your desire to fly. I'm thinking the AF Academy, which has had beaucoup sexual harrassment claims against them, particularly of late, you probably made the correct decision.
Going up now in an open cockpit sounds fun. I treated my husband to a glider plane experience in Hemet when he turned 40. He's never forgotten it.
@Odusee Shopping Thank you, and yes, it was a blast. Probably around 400 kids visited the house.
ReplyDelete@O D Y S S E Y Thanks! I really enjoy the carving, though not so much the cleaning....
ReplyDelete@California Girl Thanks so much! How funny, I've never had any desire at all to sky dive. I agree, knowing what we know now about the AF Academy, I'm really glad I didn't attempt that one. The glider rides sound fun too.
