Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Are you big into today's holiday?  I do like dressing up, although I don't really have a good reason to when Halloween falls during the week because I'm not going out anywhere and we don't get trick-or-treaters at my apartment building.  Kind of sad.  I also love scary movies though, so I'm excited to get home tonight and get so creeped out that I can't sleep tonight :)  Plus, there's always the candy...

someecards.com - In the interest of fighting the childhood obesity epidemic, I've decided to eat all the Halloween candy I bought

I did dress up over the weekend for a party I went to, which was a Saturday Night Live-themed costume party.  I went as Gilly and Jason went as motivational speaker Matt Foley.

Don't worry, it's a pillow under there.

I also managed to snap some photos of my outfit on the way out the door this morning, but it was still dark out so I had to use the iPhone inside.  So awful - it kills me to put up pictures this grainy, but until I can find some daylight hours, that's all I've got.  I resized them so I could enlarge them, but they look even worse that big, sadly.  I need some more light in my life, you guys!  What's your strategy???





 

I'm Wearing
Halogen (via Nordstrom) brown dress
Brown tights from... ?
Nautica striped cardigan
The Limited leopard belt
 Michael Kors gold watch
Chinese Laundry boots
Marc Jacobs owl ring

I obviously didn't theme my outfit to be Halloween-y today, but I did throw in the owl ring for good measure - that's a little but spooky, right?

  5. haha - you're costume is the bombbbb! I love it! :) In reply to your picture taking question.. You've just got to plan to take them either in the morning before the sun is totally up (like around 7ish or 8ish) or nighttime before the sun goes down (around 5 or 6) I've found those are the best times to take pictures. Hope that helps! :)

    1. Haha, thanks Nikki! :) Yeah, that's what I typically try to do, but the issue I'm having is that I leave for work before 7, so it's still dark, and I usually get home right around 6, so it's already dark out! Just another reason I'm not a fan of winter...

  6. Oh my gosh. I LOVE your halloween costume. I am obsessed with Gilly! I looked high and low last year for a Gilly costume but couldn't find one and am not creative enough to make one! You look awesome! I'm your newest follower from WIWW!!

    1. Haha thanks Rebecca! I made it and thought it was kind of weird looking, but it turned out decent (sadly, hardly anyone at the party knew who I was). So glad you stopped over from WIWW! :)

  7. So cute - both the costume and the outfit. Love the owl ring and the stripes with the leopard belt are so fun. :)

  8. your costume is AMAZING. She always creeps me out. If I were to be a SNL character, I would be Penelope (the one upper), or Stefon because they have the best quotes.

    1. Thanks Fran! Ahhh I wanted to be Penelope but decided against it because it's a hard costume for other people to recognize unless I was literally one-upping people all night, haha :) Stefon would have been great too though, I should have talked Jason into that one!

  9. I love owls and that ring is fabulous. Your costume is so fun!

  10. This outfit is so adorable! I love when pattern mixing is subtle but still noticeable. It looks great and doesn't overwhelm the outfit!

    1. Thanks Jess! I like subtle pattern mixing too, it's like you don't even notice it until you really think about it :)

    1. Thank you so much Bri! I agree, stripes and animal print are one of my favorite prints to mix - it's surprisingly subtle and easy to pull off! :)
