Hey all. Sandy tried to mess with us, but we’re surviving in Central NJ. Only problem is I have absolutely no place to wear my fabulous Halloween dress other than work. Lucky Labcorp.
So as I mentioned before, I don’t normally do Halloween. I’d rather dress strangely for no reason on random days. But this gorgeous sheer witch fabric called to me from eBay so I ran with it. I knew it’d be perfect as contrast fabric for a Macaron. I found some fun cat cotton as the main/shell fabric, and here’s how it all came together.
I’m the only witch with a pushbroom.
Much better angle. I don’t look so pregnant-witch here. I gathered my Macaron rather than those groovy pleats so there is some poofing. Very proud of my French seams on the sheer fabric.
I even did my nails, dahling. Found a use for that blue lacquer that Birchbox sent me. And you know you’re jealous of my spider fascinator. 🙂
Hope that most of you have/had a normal, fun, on-time Halloween. I hope I find someplace else to wear this ensemble!!
You’re so cute! What a perfect ensemble.
You look marvelous! Love that sheer fabric – it’s positively perfect for the holiday! And yay for Birchbox! I look forward to mine every month.
I’m glad to see you’ve weathered through Sandy ok!
LOL! It’s great!!!!
Omg I’m in love with this dress! It looks fantastic, too bad you can’t wear it just on the regular
That is just PERFECT. I love the dress and I really am super jealous of the spider fascinator.
You look amazing. What a great outfit. I’m sure you will find other places to wear it!!
So gorgeous! From the print of your fabrics to the colour of your nails you are perfect!
I love this!!! Where in Central are you? I sent my formative years in Somerset!
I live in Hillsborough and work in Raritan. Two of my best friends live on Middlebush Road in (I believe) Somerset. Wow. How’d you end up in SC?
My parents retired and wanted to experience the genteel south- I missed being near them. now I miss alot of things!
Gosh, I should make a little effort at Halloween after all! You look fabulous, and FUN.
