homemade halloween...

i've never been really into halloween, nor the whole dressing up part. that is until my friends in southie started their annual halloween party, their second best party of the year (apres ski in the early winter rocks!!!). i refuse to buy a costume though, so i try to use things i already own or borrow items to make my costume complete.

2 years ago i was a construction worker, owned the clothes & fake timberland's, borrowed the tool belt & tools...


last year i was a preppy tennis player (although i told people i was a w.a.s.p. at the country club)...pretty much owned every item i'm wearing, bought the shoes (which i still wear), and borrowed the headband...


this year i decided to be a roman/greek goddess. i'm using a flat sheet i already own, gold bangle jewelry, a tacky gold belt i picked up from rue 21 as well as fake gladiator shoes also from rue 21. the shoes are actually brown so i have to spray paint them gold this week to complete the outfit...





actual pictures to come...
