NOTHING makes me happier than donning a pair of wings (or fangs, or tutu, or pirate garb, etc.) before hitting the streets of LaLaLand to go about my daily routine. Now, under normal circumstances, I would be looked upon as a few eggs short of a dozen if I decided to show up to the cube farm sporting a clown fro. However, October cannot be considered "normal circumstances" so digging the tutu(s) (yes, I have more than one) and wigs out of the back of the closet became priority one a few weeks ago for this is the most spooktacular time of the year!
This particular Halloween season brings three dress-up opportunities for moi and y'all know I'm not about to wear the same costume three times. Mon dieu! So, lets take a looksee at what I've thrown together for one of my upcoming alternate egos, shall we? Without further ado, I present to you my Dark Fairy garb...
Now, every femme fairy needs an ethereal little skirt, don't you agree? Yeah...So, even though I have a plethora of tulle in my closet, I didn't have any tulle related vestments in this keen red and black color combo and no standard pink sparkly fae wardrobe would do for me this Halloween. Nope, I'm looking to personify the classic trickster fae folkette. As such, I worked up this cute little dark netted number last night in the span of hour...And what a satisfying hour it twas too!
These beauties have been adorning the wall of my closet for months! Oh, don't worry, they weren't at all lonely for I have LOTS of wings.
Anyway, are they not spectacular???
You know you want a pair...And you can purchase them here along with many other amazing versions. Her wings are awesome and really well made.
Anyhoo, as I said, these lovelies were sitting in my closet for eons, urging me to marry them off to a sampling of perfect accompaniments. I was obliged to comply. Just look at how amazing my wings look with their tutu comrade...
But wait, there's more!
No self-respecting fae would be caught dead with the ears of a human! Nope, only pointy elfin ears will do this All Hallow's Eve!
Um, am I the only one around who has spirit gum in her cosmetic case year round???
Ahem...Let's move on.
Lastly, I purchased this very cool kit from Sephora to aid me in achieving each of my spooktacular looks this season. Methinks the store should offer these boxes of wonder the rest of the year as well. Come on, you can picture it. Ice Queen makeup for winter. Flower Fairy makeup for Spring. Golden Goddess makeup for summer. It would be amazing right? Yeah, I agree, retailers have no vision.
My Dark Fairy costume just needs a little liquid leather and fishnet to top it off. Then I'm good to go!
Ahhh, Halloween, how I love thee!

Whoa! Cool wings, tutu and ears! don't forget to take photos of ALL your fantastic ensembles!!!
I bow to your Hallowiffic craftiness. We are not worthy.
Also, I can't wait to see the completed ensemble (said in a hoity-toity french accent)!
You should really work that skirt into your regular rotation. It's super hot.
Hi Lady Linoleum,
I too have wings. The larger ones are for special occasions, but a have smaller ones for daily wear. I find that the smaller ones are easier to do house work in.
It is nice to know that you also wear them on days other then Halloween.
Every lady needs a pair of wings to complete her life and add a bit of zip to her days.
Happy flying.
Hugs, Lady Euphoria
PS: Sorry I'm just getting to this. I had no internet access for a few months and I'm catching up.
