Vintage 1950's dress, vintage bow, and BCBGeneration pumps.

Okay, I seriously don't know what is wrong with me. This post has been sitting in my queue since 10/22! What the hell? I can't even. So here you go, my post from a month ago:

On what most likely will be the last 80 degree day we have here in Rochester, I knew I had to wear something I forgot to wear over the summer. That just happened to be this beautiful dress from the 50's. The last time I wore it was way back HERE. Unfortunately, due to my massive (and unhealthy) collection of clothes, I just remembered to alter it. Finally, it's perfect and then I forget to wear it. Typical me. I'm happy it got to go for a spin. It's quite a gem. I can't think of another dress in my vintage arsenal that truly makes me feel like I stepped back in time. To the reign of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe. Speaking of Jane Russell, I found a picture of her wearing a dress very similar to this one. Needless to say, I freaked out just a little bit knowing I had one like it.
I can't really say much more than that. I think the dress speaks for itself.

I hope your week is going well! I'm excited for Thanksgiving!

just another freak in the freak kingdom

This year for Halloween, I was lucky enough to dress up as two different things. I love everything about Halloween and took the opportunity to dress as two very, very different characters.

For some reason, I was stuck on the idea of being genderbent this year. So I was a female Hunter S. Thompson.

Going by the suggestion of my lovely friend Barbara from Barbara Ellen Shops Local, I went as Nina from Black Swan as the black swan. I've always loved this movie, being an ex-ballerina and all. I actually did wear an old pair of pointe shoes out all night. It wouldn't have been the same otherwise.
