Super Heroes & Super Villians!!!

In this post, I highlighted the bodysuit I got from American Apparel for my super hero costume. Well this past Saturday Mr. Keller and I participated in a murder mystery dinner party as the Frozen Whip and Mr. Astounding! We were super heroes of course. My character was the "diva" of the group, so I tried to go a bit glam. Here's my costume in its full glory!!!




Thank goodness I wasn't the only one that went all out. 


This was the mystery's author, and fellow super hero The Scarlet Reaper. You may recall my friend Sam from this post.  Interested in hosting your own murder mystery and want an original script/concept? Check out Sam's Red Murder Mysteries here!

blazer-Zara(somewhat similar here), bodysuit/leggings-American Apparel, necklace-Ann Taylor(more necklaces here), boots-DSW(sort of similar here)

This is pretty over the top, and bordering on busted-up drag queen, but we had a good time and at least I didn't opt for wearing underwear over my tights as other did... It's always fun to create/put together costumes from things you already own. I have a fairly solid costume box with wigs and accessories, plus old clothes from some of my more adventurous days stored in the attic for potential costumes. The bodysuit and leggings were purchased specifically for this look, but I think they will come in handy for other characters/costume occasions.  If nothing else I can sport these warm leggings under a sweater dress to add some glitz.  

And we had a custom cake from Prantl's! "Pow!" indeed.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
