Pattern behavior

1. - Tree - Tenue de camouflage, 2. Wild 60s Vintage Mini Dress , 3. Catmouflage, 4. plaid, 5. teatime, 6. Mel in Wonderland, 7. Nov8th07hollywoodsigngirls, 8. LITTLE Art Nouveau BRUISER

I've realized a bit of a trend in the patterns that I will wear.

I won't wear camouflage.
I won't wear abstract prints.
I won't wear animal print.

I will wear plaid.
I will wear polka-dots.
I will wear stripes.
I will wear houndstooth.

I sometimes wear floral prints. Depends on the print.

I've decided that in order for me to want to wear a pattern, it has to have some sort a symmetry to it. Make sense? Look at the ones I like versus the ones I don't.

Are there certain patters that you will or won't wear?

On another note entirely...
I randomly decided to quit drinking caffeine yesterday. Cold turkey. The headaches started today, just another confirmation that I'm addicted and need to quit. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Halloween Costume Party

Steph and Norman threw a costume party at their house this past weekend. I adore Halloween and I loved seeing everyone in their costumes. I was also excited to wear the Vampire costume that I made this year. I spent a lot of time making the skirt, but the necklace was really easy to make. I also made a cape to wear, but ended up not liking it so it's just sitting in my bedroom. I found the red, ruffled shirt for my costume at Forever 21. The studded mary-janes came from Forever 21 as well. I got the tights and coffin clutch from the costume store.

Here are some photos from the party:


Norman and Chaz's costumes were cracking me up. They were way too funny!

It's so weird seeing these pictures of me, I think the pale makeup just makes me look sick in these photos. I purchased the cheapest mineral foundation I could find in the lightest color they had, I also used some white sparkly powder to pull off the vampire look. I had a blast doing my hair and makeup. I'm so glad I decided not to wear a wig.


You can't see it in this photo, but Sean has bite marks on his neck. He was dressed as my victim.
Almost the very first thing that happened when I got to the party was the necklace that I made broke, so that is why I'm not wearing it in any pictures. I also didn't get any pictures of the back of my skirt, which is my favorite part.

I kept taking my teeth out to talk because they made me lisp so I ended up dropping my teeth and they broke! I have to get them fixed before the costume parties on actual Halloween! I'm planning on dressing up at work even though I'll probably be the only one since Marrdy is gone now.
