Channeling Stina from 1992, I loved fishnets, Björk buns and baby doll dresses. Twenty-two years later and not much has changed. I may be forty years old, but there is no reason I need to look like I am. #effyouragestandards
Dress: ASOS
(Size 22)
This dress sold out in like a millisecond!! Sorry about it, but ya got to be super quick to get the über cute ASOS Halloween stuff. They only come out with a few Curve items every year and from my experience they are pretty freaking fierce and fun! I'm so glad I snatched this up before it was gone. It will share a home in my closet with my skeleton baby doll dress from last year. No need to review... LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! ASOS still has a couple Halloweenie pieces in stock, here is a link for this years ghost sweater.
Fishnets: Donatellas
(Size 4X-5X Long)
Donatella's premium fishnets in black are available in two lengths, short and long. I got the long length because I'm almost 5'6". I can't say enough about these fishnets. They fit me like a dream with room to spare and these fishnets were the first pair I have ever owned that didn't rip the first time I wore them. Fishnets normally are a one-time deal for me, my thighs like to chew them up and spit them out. I will be able to get many uses out of these ones from Donatella's. Well worth the money and free shipping... bonus!
Shoes: ASOS
(Size 10)
I fell for these shoes as soon as I creeped them. I thought they were so unique and awesomely modern 90's. I didn't consider the fit much when I ordered because I'm typically a size 10 with a slightly wide foot, but I get away with most normal width shoes. These shoes seemed pretty generous and wide from the photos. That is not so much the case, I just barely fit into these shoes. They are actually kind of tight across the top of my foot but I'm hoping with some wear they will stretch out a bit. I would not recommend these ones to someone with a wide foot, as cute as they are. If anyone has tips for stretching leather-look shoes I would love to hear them. I hope they are not a write-off.
Glasses: Forever 21
This style is currently sold out. I would keep an eye out though because I find Forever 21 brings sunglasses styles back often. Forever 21 is my go-to place for cheap shades, I quite often get them when they are 50% off clearance and they end up being only a couple of bucks.

What a cute dress! The shoes are super-cute too--it's too bad they're not wide enough. I have wide feet too, and it's so hard to find shoes that fit.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah for the '90s, and #effyouragestandards indeed! '90s goth/punk looks are always awesome at any age.
i love the music you pair with your posts!! Man I totally used to rock the Bjork buns everyday about 15 years ago!
ReplyDeletei missed the boat on this dress, everyone seems to have it but me, it's just like that cute ghost sweater they did last year and it still haunts {ha!} me!
Love this look & love the song!

IF you decide the shoes are a write off then LMK. I have a narrow foot but a size 10 tooo. YOu look amazing in this dress and you style it wonderfully!
ReplyDeletethat dress is g-g-g-gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGAH why is this dress not available in Australia?!?!
ReplyDeleteI was stalking ASOS prior to Halloween, as I remember missing out on some cute items last year. Yet I still missed out on this! Do you belong to a secret community that alerts you to this stuff coming out? Because I want in!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHA!!! I just check ASOS like everyday the full month of September and into October so I don't miss a single Halloween item. I also am in some clothing groups on FB and occasionally pick up a hot tip.

Fattoo Anonymous is a good one.
