Halloween

Halloween is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday. These photos from Planet Blue's lookbook got me thinking about elegant Halloween costumes. 

The standard in college is lingerie paired with animal ears and maybe a tail if you're feeling ambitious. A cat? Black fishnets, black heels, black hot pants, black bustier, and cat ears. Done.

Obviously, that's not an appropriate costume for the real world, nor is it all that original or flattering.

I won't be dressing up this year. I'll probably be following my nieces around and stealing their candy as they go door-to-door in their neighborhood. BUT for those of you lucky enough to be in the real world where there are über-cool, exclusive, Halloween parties to attend...WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?! 

If you're feeling really unimaginative, just take a cue from Planet Blue (ugh, I didn't mean to rhyme there, promise) and add a luxe, black mask to your outfit. Simple, classy, mysterious, and sexy. No lingerie required.
