...by trick-or-treating as a petticoated maid....



The maid uniform is by Rubies, bought at Halloween Adventures in April 2008; the shoes are Fioni "Loveit" black patent pumps, from Payless in May 2011. Other accessories are silver jewelry and white hose.



And, yes, I'm as likely to show up in public in this (even on Halloween) as I am to fly under my own power.

...in a mix of fall colors...



The layered top is by RQT, bought at Burlington Coat Factory in January 2009; the blue-green leaf print skirt is by Blair, found in a thrift shop in April 2012; the shoes are Predictions "Karmen" blue patent pumps, from Payless in June 2013. Other accessories are a new brown fedora, Halloween-themed scarf, black-and-white jewelry, black belt, and white hose.

Actually, today was supposed to feature some new items (a turtleneck and a schoolgirl-like skirt), but the skirt turned out to be way too small, and the turtleneck was only bought to go with it, so both got returned.



And a portrait:

This portrait seems to capture a moment in an intimate conversation...

Rock October 10

..in a cute and casual cowlneck and jeans ensemble...



The red cowlneck sweater is from Kmart's Basic Editions line, bought in March 2013; the blue jeans are Fashion Bug Right Fit Yellow style, purchased in July 2010; the shoes are Dollhouse "Margaretta" black pumps with metal heels, from Shoe Dept. in January 2010. Other accessories are a red bow, black-and-white jewelry, and black belt.



I did my eye makeup a bit differently today. I normally work from the bottom up ~ color on my eyelids, darker in the crease, and then white under the brow. Today I did it in reverse order...and I think the result is very attractive and more dramatic in photography. So much so, that I couldn't make up my mind which portrait was best...so here are both:
