In Vs. Out Link-Up {October}

Today I'm linking up with Allison from Because I Said So  with her monthly In Vs. Out post!

But before we dive into what is In vs. what is Out, can we just discuss for a moment how it is already Halloween and before we know it Thanksgiving will be upon us and then CHRISTMAS?!
I die.

Also, I'll be done with this semester of school soon, so praise hand emoji for that.

Anyways, let's dive into this thing.





IN

Dressing Up | My student teaching practicum requires me to dress well, like a teacher...obviously.
I know lots of people probably dread that part of it, or think that we all have to wear loafers, dress pants, and a starched button up...but let me tell you, I am having SO much fun with it. I finally have a reason to wear all of my dresses and play with my looks. It's so fun.

Bath & Body Works Candles | Y'all, I have a ridiculous stash of these candles and cannot stop buying them. If I'm home, you can best bet I'm burning one. Last weekend they were buy one get one free and I stocked up again. It's ridiculous. I'm currently burning Salty Caramel.

Vests | I have way too many vests in my closet (my husband tells me it's silly because I can only wear one at a time. . .men, ugh) but I love them all! I have three of the Excursion vests from J.Crew, a Columbia, a Patagonia, a fur vest from Target...and I recently added two new ones from Target which leads me to my last "In". . .

Knox Rose | If you don't shop at Target you might not know what I'm talking about, but it's their newest in-house clothing brand (I think!) Think boutique style but for a Target price.
I just recently picked up a suede/faux fur vest in-store (not online!) that I LOVE and also another black faux fur vest from their Missoni line. 
But I'm loving this and this from their online selection.
(Also, all Target's clothes are buy one get one half off right now online!)


OUT

Early Mornings | The only part about this student teaching thing is the early mornings, but I know they'll be even earlier next semester, so I might as well get used to it. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't get home until around 8 every night. I'm not getting to see my sweet husband near enough.

Fall Bucket List Failure | If you've been around these parts for a little while you probably saw my Fall bucket list. It was made with good intentions, but I seriously don't think I've done a single thing on that list. It's so hard to have fun when you're constantly doing school stuff, trying to keep your house clean and laundry done, and trying to spend time with family.

Missing My Pups | Another for y'all that have been around a while, you might remember that my husband and I recently lost our two pups that we've had for almost two years. I still think about Whiskey and Bullet on a daily basis, especially this time of year because they were so much fun to play with in the yard. Chris and I have talked about getting another dog (from the shelter), and while I would love to adopt and I think we will in the future, I don't think it's fair to the dog right now.
He and I are never home, like I said above, and we would have to leave it alone far too much. Maybe in May after I graduate I can go pick out a new buddy!


Okay, y'all! That was it for this month-I'm going to try to get a favorites post up for October this coming up week if I can get it together, especially since I missed Septembers and they're some of my favorite posts to read & do!

Until next time. . .

xoxo,

  1. Yay for getting to dress up every day! The past couple years of school, I was so good about dressing up all of the time for class. This year though I have such a busy class schedule, I try and go to the gym a lot, and I also babysit, so dressing up doesn't happen as much- I miss it!

    Have a great weekend! <3

  2. Yes vests are so in!! It's my favorite way to layer in the fall since it's still pretty warm here in Vegas.

  6. Hey girl! I wanted to say thank you for letting me know about the font.. I have been playing around with different ones. I always want to respond back to you but, you are a "no reply blogger". Anyways, you know I went crazy for the B&BW sale and I too am obsessed with the salted caramel! I am burning one as we speak!

    Anyways, have a great rest of your weekend!

    1. We think they must've gotten into something (maybe in one of our neighbor's garages?) and one passed away and the other went missing (we're assuming our other sweet boy passed away as well :( Thanks for your concern!

  10. Love your In VS Out list!! Keep making bucket list and place it visible so that you can do at least one or one mini goal out of the month!!
