Pretty Woman Dress Up

T minus 2 days until Halloween. Have you got yourself a costume? You may check this earlier post on how you can recreate two different costumes using a bustier. For last Friday’s company teambuilding activity though, I decided to go for one of Julia Roberts character – Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman.

Anyway, considering that this movie was shown in the 90s, it can be quite a challenge (aside from being impractical) hunting the web or shops for the same cut-out dress she wore when Richard Gere picked her up in Rodeo drive. So, I simply recreated it using a tank top and a denim mini skirt. And okay, I’m getting to the part where it’s all messed up. Lol. The wig was purchased last minute at Divisoria to complete the look and I have to humor myself how it turned out to look like Vice Ganda. Hahaha. It was worth it though coz I won 3rd prize for costume. Yaasss!

The blazer that was tied to the waist is actually a Marvel printed hoodie which was fitting because that night was supposedly a Thor Ragnarok date night. I just had to wear it with the mini skirt and voila, here’s a Friday night movie look. Lol! 

Bag: Mango; Hat/ Shoes: H&M

The Bustier for Halloween

If any of the F/W 16 catwalks is an indication, the new body du jour is the  waist. I'm just hoping that the bare shoulder will  make a comeback by next year. ;) And the accentuating pieces that would be popular? Bustiers and corsets/ big belts. 

Thank goodness I've invested in these pieces from long time ago. Because seriously, who doesn't wanna invest in waist-slimming accessories? Actually not only are they good in highlighting the smaller part of your body but they're also good pieces in creating your Halloween look! Don't believe me? Trust how I used a bustier below to recreate Katniss Everdeen and a Catwoman look. And for sheer fun, I edited the pics using some special apps that can customize background. Haha. Who are you dressing up as this Halloween? :P

P.S. These pics are old and been meaning to post them last year but didn't make it. Haha!
