Inspiration Monday..And A Guessing Game...

Hello dears..I hope that you all had a good weekend. I went out Saturday and did pictures for the week, and spent Sunday hand sewing my costume together. I am almost done with my costume..yay! This is the first year that I have made my own costume. All I need to do now is figure out how I am going to do my makeup and find a wig. I am keeping my idea a secret for now, but I will share some pics to see if anyone has any ideas of what I am going to be..How about you guys..what are you going to be this year? Anyone making their own costumes? I have a Halloween party every year..so I really get into decorating and dressing up. Did I mention that it gives me a reason to have fun and dress-up..lol So, for today over at Two Birds..there inspiration is Rachel Bilson. I wanted to do a bright fun sweater instead of a sweater like she used...what do you think?


American Eagle jacket: $6.00 from Plato's Closet
Express sweater: $2.00 from Salvation Army
Inked and Distress jeans: $6.00 from Salvation Army
Mossimo shoes: $2.00 from salvation Army
Necklace: $9.99 from Goodwill


Total look: $25.99

And the inspiration:



Here are some of the goodies that I have picked out for my costume..any guesses at what I am going to be?

  3. I get a Marlena Dietrich vibe from you costume, but I don't think that is right! Love your inspired outfit and fab necklace, thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.

  4. Your outfit is flowing with the inspiration look. I like the punch of color in the sweater and the necklace is really pretty. Your hair color is gorgeous.
    I am guessing a flapper for your costume.

  12. I'm thinking you are going to be a raven?
    Love the outfit- the necklace is very pretty and the colour of the sweater replaces the brightness of the bag- clever choice! Looks comfy and snug too!
