When we first began this songful series in February, I was sharing a detailed post about the next song prompt the day following my outfit post for the previous song prompt. But then I realized that the whole thing is forgotten long before it’s time to share the next musically inspired outfit for anyone who wants to play along with us. So I decided to push these posts out to the middle of the month as a reminder if you want to join the fun. Even if you don’t want to join the fashion fun, this next song prompt is sure to get your body moving for the day! It…

It was Suzy’s turn to choose a song to inspire our looks for October 31, 2022, and she picked “Look What You Made Me Do” by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift because the official music video has a Halloween element to it and is visually beautiful with so much fabulous sartorial inspiration.

Songful Style | “When Doves Cry” by Prince & The Revolution & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #281
We have come full circle and all five Songful Style bloggers have chosen their first song. So now we are onto round 2 starting with Suzy’s second song choice. Suzy chose one of her favorite songs of all time by one of my favorite artists of all time: ”When Doves Cry” by Prince & The Revolution.
