After you've been sick for more than a few days, and you start to worry that you'll always look this haggard, your skin will always be this blotchy, and you will never put another outfit together that does not involve pyjamas, it's good to remind yourself of what you looked like before you got sick...
There. See? Not so bad....a bit pinched around the mouth, but the outfit is good, and I'm standing upright, always a plus. The fact that I'm wearing the velvet coat I found at The Sentimentalist at the end of September is a large part of the appeal. It makes me happy just to look at the gorgeous colour, so I've hung it on the outside of my closet door. I'm also wearing the 1940's gloves with the satin wrist poof I got at the Manhattan Vintage Show, and the doc marten look-a-likes (the brand is No Boundaries, unfamiliar to me) from the Chelsea Housing Works Thrift Store. The floral tights were thrifted from Talize.
After all....it could be much worse
Bella, of
The Citizen Rosebud, inspired me to play around with the online photo editor,
picmonkey. I decided that of the Halloween-themed creatures available, the "Zombie" best suited my current state. I hope you all have a Ghoulishly Good Halloween!
