It’s All Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #192
I have my last tee shirt from Bellelily to share just in time for some Halloween fun! Except the shirt has sold out now! Boo. But Bellelily has a huge inventory of some of the cutest statement tees I have seen in a long while. If Halloween isn’t really your thing, check out what they have for Thanksgiving and Christmas and every other holiday that may inspire you.
Disclaimer: This tee shirt was provided to me for purposes of this blog post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s not Halloween quite yet and I have every intention of embracing this silly little holiday until the end of the month. In fact, be sure to stop by on Thursday to see what Monica and I have come up with for our Halloween Your Own Twist post!
Once October arrives, I get excited to spend the next 4 weeks doing creative and silly Halloween inspired things with my kids. We had a lot of fun making our front porch a scary entrance way for visitors, but we are still putting the final touches on it. Hopefully, I will have photos to share by Thursday, finished or not.
For now, however, can we talk about the cuteness factor of this Sanderson Sisters Hocus Pocus baseball tee? Full disclosure…I never saw Hocus Pocus until last Halloween. The movie has certainly built a bit of a Halloween cult following since its release in 1993. Understandably so because it is such a cute Halloween film for the whole family to enjoy!
I have no idea how I missed all the Hocus Pocus hype. I think probably because I never really embraced Halloween traditions until my kids started showing interest and excitement over it. And now I think I prefer Halloween to most other holidays. It’s easy and fun and the expectations are low so I always feel like I am exceeding by doing even the tiniest festive thing! Plus I am a bit of a candy addict. I am that mom who eats about 80% of the children’s Halloween stash! And in case you are wondering…yes, I absolutely lie to my children when they question where all their candy has gone. I eat the candy without shame. And then I lie about with even less shame.
With this tee being the final of my 7 Bellelily tees left to style, I felt like I was running out of ideas. I had styled my new statement tees with denim shorts, a maxi skirt, printed trousers, ripped jeans, a velvet mini skirt, and plaid pants. I was unsure which direction to go. And as the magic often happens inside of my closet room, my gray skinny jeans jumped out of a pile and volunteered for the task at hand. I really love when my clothing cooperates with me that way.
I felt like the zipper details on my skinny jeans created the perfect vibe for a sassy, modern day witchy kind of outfit especially when I added my knee high lace up high heeled boots into the mix. A black suede motorcycle jacket was the perfect weight for early fall weather and kept the whole look tied together nicely. I added my spider web necklace for all the obvious reasons and I was feeling pretty witchy in a 2020 sort of way.
I have worn this outfit twice already this month. The second time was just this past weekend for a small gathering of friends at our house for food, friendship, and laughter. I didn’t wear the boots at home all day though. I wore cozy socks and Archie’s Crocs all day instead. It was all sorts of stylish, let me tell you. And even more so when I threw my ratty kitchen apron on top as I scrambled around like the gracious crazy hostess that I am.
All in all, it’s a really good shirt for Halloween time and I imagine I will bring it out every year to wear. Although this one is sold out, be sure to check out Bellelily’s current stock of unique and fun statement tees. If you shop before December 31, 2020, use the discount codes below for additional savings. For size reference, I am wearing a 3XL in all of my Bellelily tees.

Do you embrace silly holiday traditions? Do you enjoy dressing up in holiday themed apparel? It really is all in good fun. Life is short, enjoy what you’re wearing!

Plus each time you style the same garment, you reduce the cost per wear. The closest we get to zero, the better!

You look so very very cool! Fantastic boots and such a cool tee. Haha, I would lie about that too. I now don’t buy any candy because I am such a addict, or was, and sometimes still am.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Nancy! I try not to buy too many sweets either because I will eat them all and then my skinny jeans won’t fit! Haha.

Thanks so much, Jill! I was totally bummed all the Hocus Pocus shirts were gone. But there were a bunch on Amazon, too. Plus you can order your candy with your t-shirt that way! Ha. Oh, I need to go take those photos of my porch before I forget…thanks for the reminder!

Great outfit and you rock that look! I’m looking forward to seeing your pics of your scary entrance. I also missed the Hocus Pocus hype and still haven’t seen the movie. Not much happens on our side here in South Africa, but I do buy American candy. Last year Hubby bought the candy as I was slacking. I’m glad he did because Amanda was so appreciative. Take care and keep safe!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Tina! Hocus Pocus is super cute, Amanda may enjoy it! Our neighborhood usually swarms with children on Halloween night and it is lots of fun, but this year will be much different. Just a few friends at the house for a little spooky celebration. I like that you keep the tradition alive for Amanda!

HI Shelbee!
I am almost back in action! Felling better, but still bored out of my skull as I haven’t been out of the house in 3 weeks! Glad to be able to pop by and see you though! Cool t-shirt and I love the grey jeans you are wearing. I have a pair of light grey I need take out. The zip details on yours I like! And those lace up booties are fab, they look like combat boots in full length. I see your trees leaves are changing! Ours haven’t quite changed yet.
Have a great week friend!

Jess, thanks so much! I am so glad that you are home and recovering nicely. Sorry that you are bored out of your skull though. That’s an icky feeling. I haven’t left my house in weeks either, but that’s by choice! Our foliage is so beautiful right now but it will be gone soon. It doesn’t last long here! I wish I could travel down your way next month and see the mountain views of fall foliage, but I just can’t make it happen this fall. Maybe next year. I hope you are able to get out and about soon, my friend!

Shelbee this is one of my favorite looks on you! Its rock & roll yet classy and chic at the same time. And how beautiful is the setting where you took the shots?? Those trees are so pretty…

Nora, thanks so much! I did feel really great in this outfit! These photos were taken at the park right near my house. It is so beautiful right now with all the fall foliage.

We tried getting our boys to watch Hocus Pocus last year and they hated it! Now that we don’t trick or treat I’ve been trying to come up with some fun new family traditions. I do really miss raiding their candy stash though!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
I was actually surprised that my kids liked it. I thought they might think it was too tame or corny or something. I think we will watch it again this year, but by next year they may prefer actual horror movies (which is so NOT my thing). And I think trick or treat might be a thing of the past for everyone after this year. But I am okay just buying bags of candy and having a small party with the kids instead. It’s just another excuse for me to eat candy! Hahaha.

BelleLilly has gifted you with some adorable graphic tees and this is perfect for Halloween. They must run tiny though. BTW haven’t seen the Hocus Pocus movie either. Love how you styled this for an edgy look with the cool boots. And OMG Shelbee, your hair has gotten soooo long. I just chopped off 5+ more inches of mine.
I love Lucy’s Black Floral perfection outfit and that amazing post of Mica’s styling her grey skinnies. That doodle is so pretty and artsy, too. =)
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Ada, thanks so much! I am loving all of these cute tees from Bellelily. Normally I wear an XXL in tee shirts, so I am really only sizing up one size. You should check out Hocus Pocus with Vivian! It is silly and cute. My kids love it. I am sure we will be watching it again over the next few weeks. Oh, and my hair goal is to my waist! I want to have super long braids like a crazy kooky person! Haha

I have to admit I am a big Hocus Pocus fan! I love it since it came out when I was in grade school (dating myself here! Haha!). I watch it at least once a fall and just finished it the other night! That tee is fantastic! I think I need a similar one!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Laura, thanks so much! Talk about dating yourself…I was in college when this movie came out! I love that you make it an annual Halloween tradition to watch it! I think we will watch it this weekend. I was bummed to see that Bellelily sold out of all Hocus Pocus tees. They had so many cute ones! But check Amazon if you really want one. It looks like they had a bunch of really adorable ones, too.

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve never seen Hocus Pocus! But I feel like I finally need to after reading these comments and seeing how much people love it 😉

I am actually surprised by how many of you have never seen the movie, Cheryl! It is a super cute film for kids and adults to get in the Halloween spirit! And Jennifer commented that it is available on Disney+ right now if you have a subscription to that. But it usually plays on television as well around Halloween time. Have a fabulous day, my friend!

OK, so now I don’t feel as bad having not seen this movie yet, since you just saw it for the first time last year! 🙂 My sisters every year try to get me to watch it. They say I will love it…we’ll see if I ever actually do it! This tee is so fun and festive. Right up my alley!

Shauna, thanks so much! You should definitely watch Hocus Pocus with your sisters this year. I think you might really enjoy it! Plus what the heck else is going on this year for Halloween? We can’t have trick or treat for the kids or big parties for the adults, so movie nights with siblings are totally in order!

It’s a great look on you! I’m partial to a motorcycle vibe and black jackets and boots are pretty much all it takes. Confession: I’ve never seen Hocus Pocus.

I LOVE the Doodle Selfie! So creative. I also adore your outfit. Every piece of it works. From the cool baseball tee to the lace0-up boots. The mix of black and grey are a great background for the colors in that fun pattern!! Not to forget the moto jacket. You look amazing, Shelbee, and these photos are beautiful!! Have fun making Halloween things with your kid. I miss those days with my son!

Oh Shelbee thanks so much for featuring me!!! And my post only publishes tomorrow so I probably won’t make it for this linkup!!! Hope you come by mine tomorrow though:)
And- I am loving all those tees by Bellelily!! You did this brand so proud I’m sure- looking pretty terrific!!!

Lucy, thanks so much! And no worries about missing this link party, just join my Friday one instead! I was leaving both link parties open for a week but it was getting difficult to manage them so I started closing the Tuesday one when the Friday one opens and closing the Friday one when the Tuesday one opens. But now I wonder if I should change it back?
