BEAUTY & THE BEAST

Vintage Crown Headband, Nude Off-the-Shoulder Dress c/o Oasap, Forever 21 Cut Out Cuffs, Colin Stuart Wedges

I love the luxuriousness and effortless vibe that off the shoulder pieces emit and have been on the hunt for them this season! I found this nude dress from Oasap and once I tried it on with my crown headband, I knew this look was going to go in the direction of a storybook! With the overall nude/pale yellow color palette, not to mention my dark brown hair, I think this look best resembles a modern take on Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Her gown even has an off-the-shoulder top too!

I suppose if I can't figure out what else to be for Halloween, I can just be Belle :) I just know I want to think of something really fun for the occasion, but the irony is that I normally dress by modeling myself after a film or literature character--so in essence, I like to dress as if every day is a street-style version of Halloween. So I have to make sure that what I pick for Halloween is something that I really would not be able to wear on a day to day basis. For example, last year, I was Iron Man, and I definitely could not go around everyday at school with the mask, toy arc reactor, and toy arm repulsor! :P I guess I could be Loki this year but I'm still thinking it over!
