top, f21; diy jeans, paris blues; boots, bakers; snakeskin clutch, vintage;
These are some old cheap jeans that I've had for like four years purchased downtown la for like $15. I did not feel bad one bit when destroying them. Now that I look at it more and more, I think I need to do a little more bleaching. Work in progress I guess. As I left the house yesterday my mother pointed out that I look like a homeless person who is possibly on crack. I totally smiled.
An obligatory ding dong photo.
Halloween is in like a week almost! Every year, I specifically refuse to purchase a costume. First off, they are always cheaply made and end up ripping within the first 15 minutes of wearing it. Second, they only make costumes for porn stars with giant boobs so they never fit me right. Third, there would be at least 1 other person at any given party wearing the same thing. So I usually just make a costume out of whatever clothes I have. It's really not as hard as it seems.
Halloween 2007 - Fafinette
Halloween 2005- Nurse

And I like the outfit. Those boots look great with the jeans.
i can't wait to see your pics from this year...but i honestly can't imagine they can beat your costume from 07. wow!!!
Yummm bleach! I'm currently on a DIY-binge and I'm on the lookout for a semi-nice pair of jeans for cheap that I can destrooooy!
P.S. Thanks for linking me, miss!
Seriously great job on those jeans, your look here is killer!
Also: cutest. Halloween. costumes. EVER. I'm certain this year is going to be one of the most adorable yet :)
I come up with costumes out of my own clothes too. Love the 2007 one. You look adorable! :)
xo/ fashion chalet
love your fafinette costume! soo original and cute :) im dressing up as blair waldorf from gossip girl this year...its a very easy look to put together with your own clothes!
for the diy jeans did you just drizzle/pour bleach onto the jeans and then let it sit for a while? how long did your bleach sit for?
anon11:15: I will definitely post pictures! as for the boots, surpisingly they are very very comfortable.
sofi: omg, i love your costume idea! how fun.
rumi: lol thank you!
adiel: yay! i'm so excited to see everyone's halloween posts :)
saray: thanks girly!
sueper: oh definitley going to post them next week!
instant vintage: omg, do it! its such an easy costume too. I'm excited to see your rendition!
emily: you're so right! last year my costume was spot on and i loved it. hopefully, i will look normal atleast lol.
stylemagnet: yea, definitely go with a cheap pair so you dont feel too bad about it
s: thank you!!
fashionchalet: i know its so much cooler to me to make your own! i'm excited to see yours this year
Funny that your title is Homeless.....go check out Rumi's blog and check out the "debate" going on..haha ...anyways....cute...but I think it might have looked a little better with black jeans?? (did you use blue? looks like it...) either way ...still cool...I like ANYTHING acid washed...sad...I know
p.s. cant wait to see the costume ;)...I used to LOVE popeye..still love the candy...;)
miranda: yep, i basically took the jeansoutside poured bleach randomly. washed it out with a hose and let it dry overnight. then came back hte next day and did it again in some areas. washedi tout with a hose let it dry. then washed it in teh machine. really easy!
ashliegh: ugh, people talk too much. instad of bitching about it on someone's blog save your breath and go help a homeless guy. anyway, yea! i used black :/ i guess they were too faded in the first place so it looks wierd.
oh my. i wish we had Halloween here! ahhhh.
your costumes are fabulous- esp. 07
BUT these jeans + boots.
seriously girl. the definition of awesome-ness.
you look like a rockstar.
x.
I was a nurse last year, too. A dead one. Your Fafinette is great! this year, the boyfriend and I will be 80's aerobic instructors...mostly so I can laugh at him all night.
Derelicte! Your mum is funny.
Your jeans look wild. It is so much fun destroying things.
Can't wait to see your halloween costume this year. That is very sweet.
I wish we celebrated it here so I could dress up too!
I love the fafinette photo! Olive Oyl will be interesting...
The idea is terrific
Taghrid: just wait!! :) *yay* I can't wait to show it. ♥
loving those bleached jeans with those shoes! i seriously need some cheapo jeans to bleach. i always feel so bad destroying things cos i normally always mess up.
i love that your mum referred to you as a homeless person. all the controversy that word has caused over at rumi's is ridiculous.
can't wait to see your costume. we never do halloween in australia!
i hate that I'm not doing anything for hallowweeeeen
I did nurse in 05 too!
my boyfriend and I want to do a famous singer couple from Israel who have hideous, hideous style and "name necklaces"
lovely outfit, per usual :0
Haha, you're mother and my mother would get along famously
I had on an oversized (but very chic) barbour coat on today, and she informed me that i looked like i was going dumpster diving. pffft, motherssss
and i still need a costume!! any ideas?
I love the jeans!
You looked adorable as Fafinette!
And I agree about the porn star costumes, haha. I think I may wear one some day just for the hell of it, but not while I still live with my parents..
I really like this outfit, it's much different from what you usually wear, just shows how versatile your style is.
The fafinette costume was adorable and you will make a great Olive Oyl! I'm going to be Alice from Alice in Wonderland this year :)
Looks like a fun DIY. I love your clutch - it's so simple and so chic.
That's such a cute costume idea! Haha, hope you take lots of pictures!
Wow, fantastic DIY idea for the jeans, they came out lovely! Also, there are some film photos on my flickr, if you're interested.
Adore the destroyed jeans! You're rocking them.
I'm going as Edie Sedgwick and a friend is coming as Andy Warhol. We tried to get a long haired pal to come as Nico, but sadly, we couldn't convince her.
The jeans turned out great.
Love this outfit really chic ... I'm dressing up as burlesque dance but a classy version of one , hahah
I love that fafi costume of yours! I'm going as ugly betty!!! i'm gonna custom-make my Guadalajara poncho, not brush my hair and put on my reading glasses. Ta-da!
you look so pretty in your nurse costume.
i love your shirt and your boots!
That Fafinette costume, you really killed it didn't you wow! Plus you look so cute :}
