I'm horrible at keeping my own secrets. I tried my hardest to keep my halloween costume this year a secret, but I just couldn't help it! Last week Dave and I were last minute zombies, but our real costume this weekend - I'm going to be Cruella Deville and he'll be my dalmatian. The hardest part of the entire costume was finding a white fur-looking coat. Which got me to thinking, what outfit would I put together if money wasn't a concern? Well I'd start with this jaw-dropping Herve Leger Beaded Banded Dress that originally cost almost $18,000! Add on the fur coat that was another few thousands, the sexy $700 pumps, and some other accessories, and you've got one hell of an expensive halloween costume. Now my friends we all know I don't have anywhere near this kind of money and my budget was more like $50. But I made it work (I hope)!
P.S. I'd like us all to remember that Cruella Deville was a villainess - a super chic one - but still, she used the dalmatians' fur! And in the coat I used in this post, arctic white fox fur was used! I would never ever use real fur and hope all of you beauties wouldn't either. Look at these cuties! How could you hurt them?

ReplyDeleteI have always loved Cruella's style (despite her being from a Disney movie!) If the white coat you chose wasn't real fur, I would have to buy it <3
