Day 44: Halloweekend Part One

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair."
Audrey Hepburn

My mother has always told me that when I was a tot I would change my clothes 13 times a day because there was always a new occasion to be dressed for. Today brought me back to the good ole days because I changed what I was wearing six times in the 24 hour span. In all fairness this did have a purpose serving to three costumes for the day and opting not to walk around campus in a tiger onesie.

My first costume change of the day, that I returned to twice was this number with the dress worn in true from with a white tank-top from Nordstrom underneath, black Target leggings, Anthropologie socks, and a ModCloth cover up in my favorite floral fall pattern and colors. Not pictured are my black lace booties that will be shown in outfit #2 of the day when I transformed into Edith Beale for my musical theatre performance.

Before I get to that though, I would like to point out the good luck this outfit gave me with by A I received on my first transcription quiz. If I fail at everything else in my major, at least I will always have transcription.

Outfit number two for the day was made to look like Edith Beale, the cousin of Jackie O, for my musical theatre final performance of a recreation. She had the most interesting take on fashion, wrapping skirts around her instead of wearing them around her waist, wearing boots at all times, headscarfs to cover up her head because she suffered from alopecia universalis and had no hair.

My take on the costume included the dress being worn in skirt form covered by two cardigans wrapped around my waist, one red and from Target donated by Lauren and the other black from Nordstrom donated by Riley, a blue Gap turtle neck, black Target tights, black lace booties from Nordstrom, and a scarf worn around my head that belongs to my mother.

I am a little bummed that I do not get the opportunity to sing this song again in class or dress up like this fabulous woman again... Halloween next year? I will keep this idea in the cards.

The next costume of the day was for the concert choir costume contest where one of my good friends and I dressed as Calvin and Hobbs. I do not have a picture of the two of us yet but I will be sure to edit that in as soon as it becomes available to me.

Not only did we win most adorable because let's face it, who can resist that tiger suit, but we beat a dog! A real dog! We didn't just beat the dog, with destroyed it. It was quite exciting.

We went on to win Best in Show to add to the excitement of the day. But where did the dress go, you may wonder...

Not to fear! The great thing about a onesie is that you can hind many a great thing inside them including a giant sack dress!

The final costume of the day was that of my Edie Sedgwick costume but since that will be repeated tomorrow night and I will technically not be wearing it until after midnight, I will include it in tomorrows post. Until then, here is a preview of the classic 60s Edie makeup that I will be sporting for the next few hours.

Have a safe Halloweekend friends!
