Happy Halloween/November.

I know I'm two days late, but Happy Halloween.
I basically did a whole bunch of nothing. People had changed plans on me, so in the long run I wasn't able to go visit my grandma at all. (She was leaving the 1st, so everyone was visiting on Halloween to say goodbye. She's going to Florida for the entire winter.) So, I was really upset about that. But at least in January I get to go visit her there. That'll be fun :)
Anyways, I was thinking about dressing up as a black & white high fashion girl. I kinda felt like it was Lady Gaga inspired, but not really. ha. That didn't work out. So I tried on some other different outfits.
In the end, I ended up finding a button up white tank top of my mom's. Then I found my peasant type blouse, with the cute, Victorian, ruffly, long sleeves. And I put on my white, sort of knee length, skirt. It's really classy looking. It's adorable, I have no idea where I got it. I've had it forever though.
So I pulled my skirt up a little over my belly button, to make it look like a dress more, rather than a skirt and shirt. Well the outfit looked great, except my peasant blouse is a long v-neck with little wooden beads, and it just wasn't working. So, I remembered. 'Oh hey, I need a Victorian looking collar!' So I ran around looking for anything. And I ended up finding a medium length piece of fabric. It wasn't too big, but wasn't too small. I wrapped it around my neck, kind of like a tie. (I'm not sure how you tie a tie, ahha. But it seems like that was the way one would do it.)
Then I just ruffled it up a bit, and it worked out. I thought my outfit was pretty good, considering I had thrown it all together at the last minute. And I wasn't even, forcing myself to get a costume together. I just got bored and tired of finding hideous outfits and it somehow just all fell together.
It was really cute too :) My skirt was obviously too short for the actual Victorian era and how ladies wore their dresses. But oh well. I was going to put on tights, but I didn't have a decent pair. So, yep.

Here's a picture :)
