Confessions of a Shopaholic. And Bruno.

Well, as I mentioned last week, Terry and I had another fancy dress party to attend this weekend.

And, as I also mentioned, my planned costume was pretty half-assed. In fact, with the whole Christmas/holiday/Terry’s-car-breaking-down-on-the-motorway-and-having-to-be-replaced thing, I decided that a budget costume was in order, and that, on this occasion, I would basically try and take a “work with what you’ve got” approach.

Which was actually pretty ironic, considering that I decided to go as a personal heroine of mine….

[Note: image under the jump as Terry's outfit is a bit... well... a bit... risqué, let's say]

Friday Photo: Halloween 2008

Breakfast at Tiffany's

What I wore for Halloween last year (Holly Golightly, in case you’re wondering). I’m planning something just a little different for the party we’re going to tomorrow night, but… you’ll have to wait until Sunday/Monday to see what it is. If I can actually bring myself to post photos, that is. If I can’t, we’ll just pretend this post doesn’t exist and say no more about it, hmm? What Halloween costume? No, I didn’t mention a Halloween costume, you must have me confused with someone else.

What about you, though? Are you dressing up for Halloween? What are you going to be? Tell me: I’m nosey!

Typical Saturday night out

Now, I know Halloween was on Friday, but all the cool kids arrive fashionably late, and so it was that Terry and I found ourselves out celebrating the event last night instead. As usual, I kept it low key and casual:

(Note: Holly Golightly, in case you were wondering. The “costume” for girls who just really, really like to get glammed up, but never get the chance. And who was secretly convinced that her friends had been lying to her and that it wasn’t actually a costume party at all, so that she would be forced to walk around all night dressed like Sponge Bob or something while they were all in jeans. This fear was laid to rest when we went to pick up our friends Ewen and Gillian en route to the party, and the Tin Man answered their door…)

Terry, meanwhile, was the usual embarrassment:
