Welcome back to Always Ready - we watch the fashion world and scroll social so you don’t have to!

Hi!

Wheweeee, it feels like the days are speeding up! Let’s get right into it…

Spotted in Charleston

This weeks feature city is Charleston, South Carolina, USA. For fashion lovers, Charleston’s shopping scene is a delight. King Street, particularly, is renowned for its high-end boutiques, vintage shops, and designer stores. Every October, Charleston holds the annual Southern Style Now Festival, celebrating Southern fashion, art, and design with workshops, pop-up shops, and talks by designers and artists.

One Fabric at a Time

Juice up your fabric know how and avoid the online order mistakes (some of the links below are affiliate and earn us commissions).

Tulle

A fine, lightweight mesh fabric, often made from silk, nylon, or polyester. It is delicate and airy, with a net-like structure.

Common uses: Ballet tutus, skirts, bridal veils, and decorative accents.

While Tulle tends to be on more women’s wear you can see it in men’s wear too.

PS We put together a collection of accessories and inexpensive Halloween buys to compliment your costumes - you can check them out here.

Outfit Inspiration: Halloween

We are in a panic! How did it get to be the end of October? I have a last min work event, an invite to a seance (what does one wear to a seance?!) and dressing up to give candy to the kids in the neighborhood.

That said, we love Halloween - even if it means the turn of the season and it sets us into a last minute frenzy. I love the creativity other people have, the intense decorating that happens for a few short days, the faux cob webs and the momentary celebration of what is usually the underdogs of pop culture. Bats, snakes, spooky and scary.

I usually like to find a costume that I can use my own clothes. I don't mind picking up some accessories but usually I don’t buy a whole pre-made costume. We scoured social for great examples of costumes and I saved all the accessories I was looking at for my costumes here.

Wish me luck at the seance and I hope Halloween week treats you well!

Have a stress free and confident day,

Mila
