Showing posts with the label costume

C'est L'Hallowe'en, hey!

Just a few pictures from my Saturday night halloween festivities. We made our way to various Williamsburg bars, ending up in Greenpoint. The night was pretty tame and I don't know if I saw any costumes that really blew my mind. Here's my Wednesday Addams costume, which sort of passed as the girl from the ring too. Nickie made this skirt for her Fashion school project. Good thing she held on to it! And of course, the night wouldn't be complete with a bear and hunter combo. Nickie and NickiSixx, oh my!

I wish I would've taken a picture of this cardigan when i first wore it. I got it up in Ottawa and it was originally intended to be a oversize comfy cardigan kind of look. Well, I threw it in the wash along with some of my other VV purchases and it shrunk down to my size ( thankfully, no smaller). Weird right? I've been on the hunt for oversize baggyness of pretty much anything these days, cardigans, sweater's, scarves (ok, they can't be baggy but oversize yes). I guess I just want to be able to wrap myself up in a blanket and step out the door! (no, I don't want a snuggie, thanks). Anyways, I've been scrambling to put together a Halloween costume and think i'm just going to go for a Wednesday Addams look. Not very original but easy, yes. Halloween is always such a big thing here in NY that if you show up anywhere without a costume, well, you can just forget about showing up. Anyone have a good costume lined up?

Ackk, my computer is running at a snails pace right now and editing my pictures through picnik seems like waiting for christmas. Since I'm dying to show you some pictures of my Halloween weekend I'll start by posting my outfit from Friday night. I decided to attend a party that Chris & his roomate were throwing at the very last minute. As I was still at work I ran around our showroom looking for something to wear as I did not want to wear my AC costume two days in a row. I found this orange (its more of a coral but lets not get technical) dress and just went with it. I paired it with brown boots & tights and made a green headband from a t-shirt. The outcome/ A pumpkin (duh). O.k, its not the most original but like I said, all of my efforts went into Saturday nights costume, which I will post tomorrow!

I was inspired by yesterday's vintage shopping trip when I was creating today's outfit. It's all either thrifted or vintage and I  think if I would add it all up, the whole thing would be around $40! The skirt I bought yesterday as well as the boots; the top was one of my Vancouver Value Village finds and the belt, well, that's been in my closet forever, I might've snatched it up at Beacon's Closet a while ago. I wanted to make sure to take a close-up pic of the skirt as it has these tiny little multi-colored moons as the print! How adorable is that?! I know some of you are wondering what my Halloween costume is (see previous post) but I'm not telling!! In fact, i'm thinking up how I can turn this into some little contest. So just bear with me for a little bit longer and I will surely let you know when I've decided how to go about this. I still have alot of sewing to do and searching for a few more items to complete the outfit, but that is why I sta...
