Outfit log: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, y'all! I had big plans to make a halloween costume this year with the help of my much more DIY-talented friend Paige, but then I was sick on the night we planned to do it and I lost all motivation. So instead I used Marie's fantastic idea that not only made great use of my leopard-print obsession but also did not require any gluing, sewing or dough-spending.
Occasion: Halloween Dance, October 28th

outfit details: h&m top | jessica simpson belt (gift) | anthro skirt | goody headband (as ears) | isotoner (I think) gloves

What you can't see in this photo is my clashing leopard print tail (actually a scarf) that I tucked into my bike shorts under my skirt, having it hang out over the waist of my skirt, but under my belt in the back. Also, I'm pretty proud of the leopard ears, which are just two high buns (idea from Paige) with a leopard headband wrapped around both and then pinned in between (idea by moi... soooo creative).

For work I went with a festive (vs. costume) approach to the holiday, which worked out well since it was also the SF Giants parade today downtown fitting me right in with all of the orange and black clad fans on BART this morning.
Occasion: Halloween at Work, October 31st

Outfit details: h&m striped tee | thrifted tagless skirt | thrifted necklace | born "bitsy" boots

Hope you're having a wicked one!
