I admit: I bought this shirt impulsively and had no idea on how to wear it up until today. I looks funny with jeans, but I love how it almost transforms into a dress when paired with this wool skirt. This kind of baggy silhouette is not a norm for me either- look at me, breaking out of the comfort zone! The skirt was also something in my wardrobe that didn't quite have a place- the waist is elastic, so it always fit a little funny. So, moral is: two wrongs can sometimes make a right, I guess! By the time I returned home from work, it was quite chilly out, hence the indoor photos. I think I finally found the one place in our apartment that I can adequately take pictures. Finally. Our place isn't necessarily un-photogenic, it's just arranged in such a way that every corner is taken. I should also say that Zephyr is in the bag in that right hand image, I was trying to get him to poke his head out- but, no dice.
So, in continuation with my Halloween theme, the below images are from the same week as yesterday's Royal Tenenbaum costumes:
When you go to art school (especially one that is down the road from Salem, MA...yes, the Salem), Halloween is not just one day, but sometimes the entire month of October. Meaning: lots of parties. These images are from the Halloween party hosted by the College in 2005. I was the official photographer of the evening, working in the studio taking pictures of everyone's costumes. I'll admit, my costume kind of sucks- I had just come from my other job at the time and decided to just wear the clothes I had on (if you recognize the shirt, I'm a big psychobilly fan) slap some black make-up on and go as a zombie. But, everyone said I just looked like I got beat up. Oh well. Adria is (again) Richie Tenenbaum and Emily is a Troll Doll (complete with jewel belly). Emily is amazing.

Hehe I love the Troll Doll! You kind of look like a beaten-up Rosie the Riveter. Pretty sweet. I love that new H&M blouse, too. This is such a sweet outfit.
Rosie the Riveter, exactly what I was thinking!!! Great outfit, love it all. Damien and I went as Margot and Richie Tenenbaum for our first halloween together. He great his beard for 3 months! I will have to dig out the photos and post one; it's our favorite costume to date!

and by great I meant grew out his beard, ha!
That bow shirt is sooo cool and I love the combination with the skirt!
I like this outfit a lot! It goes cute together, and sometimes it is better to get out of your comfort zone! :)
That purse is so cute, and for only $1?! what a steal
That shirt is great! I wouldn't have known how to wear it, either, but you made it work!
What an adorable blouse!
Love the outfit!

Great bag! A little kitty head poking out would have been adorable!
I like the skirt and the shirt together. They look like a dress, and are quite complimentary together.
It's funny because last year I as a troll doll. I wore a nude leotard and pinned a jewel on my belly, to really drive the point home. But even with the big purple standing up straight hair, the jewel and my little surfer shorts, no-one knew what I was. bummer..
Gorgeous outfit! I am dying for your bag!!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend and a Happy Halloween!

troll doll! immediate filing that away for next year's costume.
The blouse (did I just write "blouse") is fantastic. And, you're probably wearing pantyhose (yikes, "blouse" and "pantyhose" in the same comment!) because it was cold!
