Alas, Poor Yorick!

Since I will be in costume at school on Halloween, I thought I'd bust out some of my fun "spooky" goods to wear the day before. Here's one of my standbys: the skull shirt (more about it here).  I originally paired it with a black jacket, but the outfit desperately needed a pop of color.  None of my colorful jewelry was speaking to me, so I dug this purpley-blueish cardigan out of retirement.

Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, it was windy and cold here in Chicago (though, I guess we can't exactly complain...), but I braved the elements and took off my coat for photos!

*Side note: my cami is pulled down way too low over my hips, it should've been hiked up like 4 inches to just peek out under the blouse. But I was too cold to think about it!







I DO NOT know what's happening here, but it's a good shot of the rouching on the sweater and the hi-lo hem on the blouse. Below is another awkward shot, but I'm very proud of myself for venturing into darker eye shadows instead of my usual shimmery pink or peach.
