Last week was such a whirlwind of work and play that both left me feeling completely drained. By Saturday night, I was going on 8 hours of sleep in just 48 hours and it's a tiny miracle that I even dressed up for Halloween and went to my friend's party. Granted, my creepy dead-girl makeup matched how I felt so I played the role pretty well! I was going more for a dia de los muertos vibe, but ended up looking more like the corpse bride. I frightened myself.

Before scaring people on Halloween night, I dressed up in this beautiful new skirt. It's my latest Express find, along with the necklace I linked. The laser-cut detail along with the color and suede fabric is perfectly appropriate for Fall and Winter. I love mixing textures, and I can see it pairing nicely with black tights and a coat. The color is so rich in person, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for something to wear to a holiday party. Get ready guys! It's becoming that time of the year. Already.

How's your week so far? I'll be back on Thursday with a fun post on random things.
