Friday's Quickly Approaching

   
Can She Win It?
I started getting my Halloween costume together tonight. Though I typically dress up each year, I was actually thinking of skipping it this year. But, then, they announced a costume contest at the office, with REALLY GREAT prizes. And, well, I LOVE WINNING THINGS. The contest is THIS Friday, so it’s going to be quite weird dressing up a full week before Halloween, but winning is winning, so I gotta do it! I don’t want to invest a lot of money, and this is really short notice, so I'm turning to items already in the closet. I was Dorothy last year as part of a group costume at work (which included the Wicked Witch, Tin Man, Lion, Scarecrow, Oz, and a ton of props). I still have the Dorothy outfit, so I’m going to convert it into… “Dorothy After the Tornado.” I’ll be tearing up my blue gingham dress, teasing my pig-tails like crazy, applying messed up make-up, smeary mascara and perhaps adding a black-eye. Whatever it takes to make it look like I’ve been through a tornado.  Who knows what else I’ll come up with… I doubt Toto will make it through alive :)

I’ll be sure to take pictures of the end result.

Tuesday's Pic
Brown was my theme today... I bought this top a few months back at Cache, but this is the first time I’ve worn it. I just couldn't figure out what pants to wear with it... black didn't seem to work, and flat brown was just too much brown.  Pulled out these these pants this morning and figured they were just brown enough to work. So, here it goes:

Shirt: Cache
Pants: Kohl's
Necklace: Melissa McMacken Designs - won via a charity raffle
Ring: Amber ring from Italy (gift)
Bracelet: Kohl's
 
I'm thinking I'll also try this top with some skinny jeans (which I still need to buy) and knee high brown boots.
