Halloween already feels so, so different this year. It’s usually the one occasion I have a pretty big party for- It’s Harry Potter themed, and I usually go all out and send invitations, decorate, do a themed menu, dress as a HP character, etc. It’s always so much fun, but this year I just knew I wasn’t capable of making it as big as usual. With the pandemic, I haven’t hosted a big gathering in quite sometime. Thinking about the party made me feel tired rather than excited like I usually am.

I went back and forth on not even having a costume this year. We had big plans that we talked about way back in March to be characters from one of our favorite movies, but we aren’t going anywhere as a couple so it didn’t really make sense to spend much on a couples costume. So, I actually decided to dress up solo this year and use the opportunity to not have a Harry Potter related costume like I usually do.
Drum roll please…… This year’s costume is Emily in Paris!
I’ve talked about my mixed feelings about the show on my Instagram story, but even though I am not a huge, huge fan of the show, I do still like it. I also love all the fashion, sites and scenery, so I thought it would be a fun one!
Preston and I went to the French Market Creperie for breakfast on a weekday morning (which is such a fun treat anyways!), I bought roses and dressed in my most parisian outfit! I already owned all of the items, except the boots! I borrowed those from my mom, and voila! Costume. I also love that I could probably totally wear this outfit in public, but I would probably reserve it for a big city like New York or Paris.
I linked some pieces I think would help you channel an Emily in Paris look here! My coat, skirt and all other pieces are old, but I found a few somewhat similar items.
