It's October, which means it's Halloweenapalooza time! To kick off the month, I thought it would be fun to put together three classic Halloween costumes, but in a modern way, yet using your historical footwear (and nobody'll know!)
"Modern" takes on Halloween costumes is actually quite historical, like the illustration from "Dennison's Bogie Book — A 1922 Guide for Vintage Decorating and Entertaining at Halloween and Thanksgiving" above, or everyone's favorite Victorian Batgirl costume:
So why not follow in the footsteps, dig around in the ole closet, and see what you can put together. Here are some ideas...
The Witch
Valentino black ruffle dress / IRO quilted moto jacket / Knee high tube socks / DKNY glove / Old Navy wide headband / "Tavistock" Victorian Button Boot (Black)
The Werewolf
SELECTED t shirt, $55 / T By Alexander Wang jeans, $1,485 / Black bridal shoes / Pewter jewelry / Nina Ricci fur shawl
The Ghost
Oneness one dress, $65 / Vero Moda white short blazer, $55 / Edwardian shoes / Black skull handbag / Ileana Makri gold collar necklace / 2b scarve
Have fun this Halloween! I can't resist the candy and the kookiness, can you?
