I made it back from my class early and had time to post! So Happy Halloween. Despite not having somewhere fun to go, I managed to find a work-appropriate costume for work. Here is my version of Holly Golightly from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. This was one of Audrey Hepburn most iconic roles, as it she even launched the little black dress into its on icon status. (Coco Chanel “invented” it in 1926, but Audrey Hepburn’s role brought it back to life in 1961 and it has remained a style staple in everyone’s woman’s closet.)
This little black dress was thrifted, and it is Céline! Imagine my surprise finding a designer dress for less than $10! This is one of the first times I put a costume together with items I already had, and I only bought the gloves and cigarette holder to complete the look.

So happy with the outfit, and I even had compliments from strangers when I wore my princess trench coat over my costume. It was not too far a stretch from my typical work wear attire. I see a lot of future use for this dress, and even the gloves can be re-purposed for a special event!

Hope you had a fun and sweet Halloween!
