When I heard that one of our local theaters was playing The Exorcist the night before Halloween, I knew we had to go! That movie is seriously one of the only movies that legitimately scares me, like insanely. It's just so creepy! I was especially excited it was at the Wealthy Theatre, which is right in my neighborhood. Eric and I grabbed dinner with our friend, Laura, at the Electric Cheetah. We all got different versions of their homemade mac & cheese. Oh yum. It's been so dark, cold and gray here, so comfort food sounded amazing. Afterwards, we walked down the street to check out the movie!
I love this little theater. I've been here several times for fashion shows, one time for a Christmas burlesque show (ha!) and they play movies every Tuesday. I really need to start making it a Tuesday night tradition to go see an older movie here. The theater was introduced in 1911 for vaudeville and live theater, and later became a movie house. When vaudeville declined in the area, the doors were shut and it was used as a warehouse for an aircraft company. It opened back up in the 20s and resumed playing movies until the 60s. In the 60s, it shifted to foreign films and shut back down in the 70s. It sat decaying for 25 years until our neighborhood association launched a campaign for its restoration. It opened back up in 1998 and has been open ever since!
So I've been getting a lot of feedback from you guys lately saying you like seeing me in more of my casual outfits, so here I am! To be honest, I wear jeans quite a lot! I know that seems odd because I'm constantly in dresses and skirts on the blog, but sometimes I get the attitude like "this outfit isn't blog-worthy", you know? I'm going to start ignoring myself when I think that and take photos anyway. I've been trying to collect a few more fall/winter coats because this weather is getting colder and colder by the day! I can't believe we're only a day away from November. Time seriously flies! I'm not going to lie though - I'm a tad bit excited for winter. I'm hoping we have an insanely white Christmas. I started my winter bucket list and I'm really going to try and get out more and not let my debbie-winter-downer mood get me down!
Well, I hope you guys have a safe and happy Halloween tomorrow! I don't have huge plans other than band practice with Circle Maybe and perhaps karaoke later in the night. And those of you being affected by Sandy, stay safe and dry! I'm keeping all of my east coast friends in my thoughts. If you're interested in donating, you can go to the Red Cross website and donate $10! It goes toward disaster relief and helping those in need. See you tomorrow! xo

What an amazing, fun theatre.
Love your coat and like the idea of having a few coats for winter. It's not like we don't wear them everyday for months and months...
Love these booties. I need some cute booties for winter and I really love your casual outfits. It is nice to see bloggers in non-blogging outfits! haha. I love the coat as well! And a fun little movie theater!

Gaaah, Electric Cheetah macaroni and cheese is heavenly. My favorite is the 7 cheese with roasted tomatoes and spinach. I'll be moving soon and need to live in walking distance of Wealthy :D
I love seeing your casual outfits. :) I always feel like bloggers are so fancy, and I wear jeans almost every day. haha! (just posted a casual outfit today! www.gentrilee.com )
What a cool theater! Please make that a Tuesday night tradition! How fun would that be?! kinda jealous. haha! Happy Halloween!
I love older theaters. There's such an air of history and magic when I walk into them. There is one in San Antonio called the majestic and it just makes me feel like I've walked into another time.
Cold and gray weather is my ideal setup, and this looks perfect for those kinds of days! I do the same thing with casual outfits where I think it's not 'blog worthy' but end up getting great feedback on them. Sometimes I think if they are a little dressed down, they come across as more accessible? Who knows, but you look lovely :)

I like the casual outfits. I get the whole blog-worthy feeling, but casual outfits are closer to my own personal style, so I usually get more inspiration from them.

I think I enjoy your more casual outfits because of the fact that you wear so many dresses and skirts on the blog, so it's nice to see your full style. But you always look so cute anyway!

Such a cute theatre! I don't know why I never knew about it when I lived there. You always find the best places! And I love your casually adorable outfit :)
omg watching that movie on the big sreen must be amazing, i had the book but for some reason i still don't find the courage of read it :)
PS i love your outfit a lot
What a fun little photo shoot you guys had! I wear jeans on the occasion (aka every day), and I love to see fun ways to dress them up. Those shoes, for instance, are fab.
I want to go to that theater, too. Ahh.
xo, hm
Sounds like an awesome night! The Exorcist really creeps me out. Anything with a possessed person or haunted house...scary! I love your coat and hat, they look great on you. I really adore your style!

It's the only horror movie I can't watch, way too scary!
I love your casual outfits! I hardly ever wear jeans any more since I've gained almost all of my weight back :(, but hopefully I can talk the terrible things I say about my body out of my head enough to wear them a time or two!
