OOTD And A Belated Halloween Update

As a tall girl, I really appreciate a maxi dress or skirt that is nice and long and goes to the floor. I feel like I struck gold with this one.

It's just an ASOS Curve maxi dress with one shoulder - just a simple stretch jersey material that's very cool and comfortable to wear in the summer heat. It also comes in cobalt blue and is now on sale for only $27.

I really love that this dress could be dressed up or down. I actually wore this for halloween this year - a perfect base for my Cleopatra costume. 

I really wish I had more Halloween photos to show you, but I'm that person who always gets drunk, forgets to take photos, and then has to screenshot whatever everyone else puts on social media. Actually, it's one of my goals this year to take more photos during parties! It really was an epic party though! I hosted it at my house with my sister and the zombie bride. Here's some shots of the food we made for the occasion, including brain punch, mummy sausage rolls and graveyard custard!

We also carved pumpkins and placed them at the front door.

Thank you for reading! x

Porky Pocahontas

 

Pocahontas is my favourite Disney Princess. I've always had a bit of a girl crush on her; it's something about that long black hair, full pout, huge eyes and long legs. Not to mention, she gets to swan about all day in moccasins and bare feet, eating corn fritters and diving off cliffs into crystal clear lakes. I wanted her life, her confidence, her bravery. So when I saw this Indian headdress in Bonnie Wigs in Adelaide Arcade, the cogs in my mind started turning about putting together a Native American costume for upcoming Halloweens and fancy dress parties.

I found the dress on eBay. The brand is InCharacter, it's called Indian Maiden and comes in larger sizes as well. These photos were taken a year ago and I've gone up a dress size since then, so I might get my hands on the plus size version. 

It came with some gorgeous accessories, such as leg warmers, a necklace, arm band, belt and feathered headband. I also wore this dress as Tiger Lilly to a Jinja Safari gig in Adelaide at Rocket Bar. One of their songs is called Peter Pan, so my friends and I dressed up for the occasion.

I can't even express how happy this costume made me! I think I felt more sexy (and comfortable) in this costume than any other outfit I've ever worn. There's something magical about dressing up, and there's so many plus size costumes out there these days.
