Happy late Halloween

As we all know the life of a first year school teacher is a very busy non-glamorous one. So close your eyes and get back into Halloween mode. (Opening your eyes to check out the rest of this post will be necessary. 

First I want to talk abou how much I love Halloween. I mean it's just fun and that's all there is to it. So for school I was supposed to dress at someone from a children's book, I was torn between, Pippi Longstocking, Cruella De Vill, and Madeline. It just happened that the week of Halloween we were talking about voting, so I let my student vote for what they wanted me to be, and Cruella won by a long shot! 

As always I wish I would have taken more pictures of the details of this look, but again with the busy excuse. I wore a black maxi dress underneath with some black high heel boots. My kids loved it! 

I already had everything besides the scarf which my mom quickly sewed together. And of course I had to buy the temporary hair dye. I'd imagine that the whole look cost me about $10. So I'll call that a success. 

On another note:

Several years ago when I had just began to shop at thrift stores, I stumbled upon this beautiful vintage lace wedding dress. I knew it was not practical to buy but I could not pass it up. So ever since then it has just been sitting in my closet. In the back of my head I would love for somebody to get married in it. I mentioned this dress to Jenni from Big Shots. http://bigshotsphotography.zenfolio.com/

When she saw the dress she knew she had to do a photo shoot with it. So here is what she came up with. Remember, you are still thinking Halloweeny thoughts.
