Halloween this year has been no different - I wasn't planning on celebrating in any way shape or form, except for my binge eating of fun sized assorted candy last week ... and having Westley wear a bow tie around town.

But, then I was listening to The Caretaker on repeat and the idea of dressing up and getting out of the house didn't seem so bad. My boyfriend would play False Memory Syndrome and I always referred to it as ghost music. I really love it. It reminds me of empty ballrooms in abandoned mansions and all that kind of spooky stuff. So, it's been perfect for today.

I bought this floor length 30s chiffon dress at the flea market a few months ago and it seemed like tonight would be the best excuse to wear it. Some sort of old 30s Hollywood fancy ghost lady of sorts? I have no ideaaaaa but it's Halloween and I think that means anything goes!

GORGEOUS dress!! Photo, hair, everything...you look like 1940s movie star! Westley looks very handsome too : p I'm not one for Halloween, but it's usually the day i also excuse myself to wear a funky vintage dress that normally wouldn't be in my roster of options for a regular day...

I didn't do anything for Halloween this year, either! Your dog is too cute, and that dress is stunning.
ReplyDeletefor us vintage hoarders (am I allowed to say that?!), I think the absolute best thing about Halloween is getting to wear those gorgeous, stuffed-in-closets-for-eternity pieces that would otherwise remain stuffed in closets. an excuse to wear whatever you want and never feel overdressed!
ReplyDeleteI love your costume.
lovely.
