oh hello friends! it feels like it’s been such a long while since i’ve posted on here, even though it’s only been a week! things have been very hectic over here behind-the-scenes at calivintage, so i’ve been doing a little bit of hibernating when it comes to posting on the blog. i’m still getting dressed every day, but its been a challenge finding the time to get actual photos! but rest-assured, as i adjust to my busy schedule, i think i’ll start to post more regularly once again.
in the meantime, i thought i’d share my halloween “costume.” i actually had big plans to dress as peewee herman this year, but as it often does, halloween sorta crept up on me before i was able to hit the thrift shops in search of a grey suit and red bowtie, so i resorted to my closet for last minute preparations. i just so happened to have recently bought this very precious velvet dress with a ruffled lace collar and instantly knew that it would be perfect for a fancy french mime look. throw on the lightest shade of foundation at the drug store with some exaggerated eyeliner and very pink cheeks and you’ve got your costume. it’s what i wore for the halloween weekend (yep! friday, saturday, and sunday). these are a few shots i got at a halloween party hosted by nicole and ashley. i had a lot of fun posing for silly photos in nicole’s giant closet full of vintage treasures!

Fabulous last minute costume creation! Love the makeup and interpretation of the character. :-) Happy belated Halloween.
This is CUTE! Though, you totally have to be Pee Wee next year.
haha I would have adored seeing pee wee. I think you would have ruled the world in that one. this is very sweet though!!!
you look so cute!
your hair is looking incredible! it's enough to make me chop mine all off. love it.
Great minds think alike: I, too, went as a mime this year. It was easiest thing to find in my closet. Although, I LOVE your pixie cut. It makes me want to go cut off all my hair (again).
