All hallow's morning after

Now I am posting a bit out of order because I've been really slack (been sick with the 'flu this week) and haven't gotten around to posting pictures from World Vegan Day last sunday... but with all the Halloween photos going around I thought I'd better post Friday night's Halloween party outfit before missing the boat.

Can you guess what I am? Probably not!

Having been sick, my costume was a last minute cobbled together affair. I originally wanted to go as Carmen Sandiego but not having the necessary parts just decided to go as a random Nancy Drew-ish girl-detective. I had my grandmother's dress, my belted trench coat, a hat, and super high heels.

The dress and hat match perfectly. The only thing missing was a giant magnifying glass, like this:

I really really really love this dress. The style is so flattering, but I also love that it was my grandma's, and that she made it from scratch herself! I went to Malaysia earlier this year and visited my grandma, and she gave all the female relatives free rein to raid her closet and take any dresses she no longer wears.

I took home 4 dresses, and felt like the luckiest girl alive. One day I will show you the other three, they are all perfect.

Just check out the belt detail -

Also, we got trick or treated by a bunch of giggling school girls - the poor things were in tutus trudging around in the rain! They didn't want my vegan chocolate bar though, I think the vegan-ness scared them off. Oh well, more for me!

Hope you all had a great Halloween.

AWESOME. ahaha keeping a mental check of this so I can copy the outfit in future years. ahaha and the chocolate business is hilarious, when people aren't into the candy we're giving out I'm over joyed because that ends with me getting more.

I love you in this, what a beautiful dress - the colour is just amazing and that hat tops it off perfectly!

Missa said...

Gorgeous dress and how special that your grandmother made it herself! That color is really great on you too :)

Hope you're feeling better!
