My Halloween night costume is my long awaited dream of justifying why I purchased a $25 top hat from an antique store last year. It has been sitting so pretty in my closet that I cannot wait to bust it out!!! Fashion photographer Dewey Nicks, did a very innovative shoot once with models posing in the desert with top hats on. When I saw this spread ( I believe it was in ELLE) I immediately thought HALLOWEEN NEXT YEAR, get it. I unfortunately can't find pictures online of this shoot and am way to lazy to scan the copies I have of it :) So instead, here are some pictures of three very fabulous ladies wearing top hats.
Beyonce, looking FAB.
Bridgette Bardot, looking FAB.
Josephine Baker, looking like a BOSS.
So that is my inspiration for my costume. Of course, I have to add a delightful twist to this look or it just wouldn't be Kandiss Dee. I am going to attempt to do a combination of the two hats below.
Decorating my hat is going to be the easy part. Now trying to find what I want to wear with the hat is the real challenge. I am thinking of doing a form fitting turtle neck with high-waisted shorts, black nylons, and patent stiletto's . Visualize with me now...
I have the shoes, I just need to find all the other mess. Off to the mall I go, which is going to be HE double hockey sticks because its FRIDAY. But I am still in good spirits because it's HALLOWEEN!!!
Delightfully yours
Kandiss Dee
