Happy Halloween! I intended on being a flapper or a witch… and ended up with Zelda Fitzgerald. I do wish I had photos that were a bit clearer because this is definitely a favorite costume, but we were kind of having this little problem over the weekend.
…so that was a no on photos outside. Although I would have braved it if not for the wind. I’ve had the tripod blown over before and my 35mm lens has the scars to prove it.
I didn’t really have any adornment for my hair so I put a necklace in it, an idea I got from The Vintage Valley.
I’m very glad I had an apartment party to attend. Changed my boots for heels when I got there. The pile of snow gear in the corner kept growing as more guests arrived.
Everything for this costume came out of my closet… so does that make it a costume or some craziness I would normally wear? I should wear it to the speakeasy one night.
Donna Morgan dress (gift), scarf from Turkey (gift from cousin), Seychelles shoes, Talbots glass pearls, necklace from Brooklyn Flea (in hair), bracelet from India (gift from friends). And Target boots in the corner for the snow.
You look fabulous! Love the jewels. Props for motivating with that weather!
Oh hello Zelda, you’re looking lovely tonight! Love that everything came from your closet and such a genius idea to use your necklace as a hair adornment :) I’m afraid of those snowy pictures, so glad I was warm and cozy inside that day :O
Hahaha thanks. I was out in that snow and it was kind of terrifying and amusing at the same time. Had to “run some errands” i.e. go pick up soup, liquor store…
That costume is perfection! Love the pearls!
You make a faaantastic 1920s flapper girl! So sorry to hear you got snow…dreading it in Chicago…in fact I am terrified :(
The snow’s already long gone, but there’s so much damage! I know Chicago was hit really badly last winter, I’m hoping for a milder season for you this year!
I love how your costume turned out! Those shoes are to die for!
Thanks! It turned out much better than I thought it would. Everything just suddenly came together on Saturday night.
Your outfit is super gorgeous. You look beautiful.

It was so much fun to wear! I’ll have to wear it again sometime soon. I’ve fallen in love with the feathers.
LOVE your costume! You make an adorable flapper witch/Zelda Fitzgerald. =)
Thanks! I loved this costume and it might be my favorite one ever.
Awesome costume girl! You worked it! I don’t blame you for NOT taking pics outside. Damaging a camera is $$$$. No one needs that right now. Love the headpiece, jewels and that DRESS! :D

Thanks! I was really pleased at how the whole thing came together… my early prototypes didn’t look nearly as good!
That dress is awesome. You need to wear it outside of Halloween because it. is. awesome.
Maybe I’ll wear it tomorrow? I’ll be at a speakeasy… or is that overkill?
Definitely not overkill. Just dressing appropriately for the event!
love this costume so much!!!
sorry you were one of those dumped with snow this weekend
that ‘s just not suppossed to happen in Oct!!

Thanks! I know, the snow was rather bizarre. Completely unprepared.
Adorable! I can’t believe that freak snow storm. I’m in Montreal and completely shocked and relieved that we didn’t get hit. Our winters are long and torturous enough without having them start before Halloween. That’s just wrong. Poor little trick or treaters.

So lucky you were spared! So many trees came down that Central Park looks like a crime scene, tape everywhere. And we didn’t even get much snow, my parents’ in Pennsylvania had far more. There must be so much more damage there.
you have that feathered awesomeness in your closet?? awesome.
I’d love to go to a speakeasy with you. we should do it. (in costume, obviously.)
We should go here (http://www.deathandcompany.com/). I’ve never been, but inside information says they make the best cocktail in the U.S.
