Happy Halloween! I'm programmed to say that on every October 31st and not because Halloween is a holiday (technically, it isn't!) but because ever since I can remember, schools in America have almost screamed this greeting at the tops of their lungs with loud decorations, ghoulish costumes and cavity causing candy (I'll take the candy, please and thank you!)
What I'm Wearing
Headband: DIY
Stud Earrings: H&M
Peacoat: H&M ($15)
Black Fur Lapel: H&M ($3)
Long Pearl Necklace: Express (gift)
Fringe Dress: H&M ($15)
Tights: H&M ($1)
Patent Kitten Heels: Payless ($22)
Halloween, to me, is happy for two reasons:
1) Because it's another day that I get to experience and I'm always thankful and happy for each new day! and
2) I get an excuse to dress up creatively and not be considered weird for it! Why would I say no to that?!
I always DIY my costumes (I only started "dressing up" and trick-or-treating for Halloween when I was 18 (when I started college). I never dressed up or trick or treated prior to that. My freshman year, I was Thing 2 and one of my best friends was my Thing 1 companion. My sophomore year, I was a road. My junior year, I was a prisoner (no picture evidence! Hehehe) and finally, as a senior, I'm a flapper!
I got the amazing makeup tutorial from here and it really completed my look! Thankfully all the items I needed for this costume were within reach! My "cigarette stick" is a chopstick! :)
Did you dress up? If so, what was your costume?

Many of you may not know it, but I am a Computer Science and Applied Mathematics major (yea, say that five times fast...) and I've often wondered if I'd ever reach a point where I'd mistakenly merge blogging and programming or even make an incredibly corny joke that almost no one would get... I almost reached that point with this post...with a concept as simple as ambiguity. (Oh gosh, I already feel like I'm rambling and no one cares, but I'll continue just for the heck of it!)
Usually, I observe all my outfit photos at once to gain a general feel and mood from them and that's how I come up with my post titles. This group of pictures made me think about the kind of day I had in this outfit: a really bad one. I had terrible luck finding what to wear (this outfit was super last minute), I was late to my ONLY class, and I didn't get to eat at all until nighttime. But I remembered that I threw on my bright yellow scarf in hopes of having it lighten up my mood (and outfit). I also wasn't planning on taking any pictures of this outfit, but my lovely friend, Jasmine, convinced me to and with just a few shots, I was in love and my smile was brighter than the sun.
So, with that, my post's title is ambiguous because it could be referring to either my scarf or taking photos! (Lol, that is my conclusion to the "Prove that your post title is ambiguous" question! See?! Corny joke!)
