Halloween Outfit & Monthly Theme - Hosiery

As I said, in the end I couldn't be Drusilla: not only my boyfriend didn't want to shave his beard to be Spike, but he also got the flu, so I had to go to the party alone (I mean, with my friends) and there was no point in putting on an outfit I had planned to wear as a couple. (Besides, I hadn't found a brown wig)
So I went for a classic: pin-up. Not very original, I know, but you know, pin-up is a trend right now, and I had some clothes from my 2008 rockabilly phase :D. There was one in particular I'd only worn once, and it was too bad because it's lovely. So I gave up unicity and jumped on the rockabilly bandwagon :D

Unfortunately, my hair didn't come out very good. I had planned to do two victory rolls but it was easier to only do one; then I asked my mother for help with the curlers, but something went wrong and instead of getting amazing blonde locks I got... whatever this is. XD


XD I had also forgotten to bring my jewelry, my plan was to wear a black velvet choker. But I think my outfit was fine all the same.
Me and my friend Matteo ended up having matching costumes XD our friends told us we reminded them of Candyman by Christina Aguilera XD.
I don't really like the tights, but it was quite cold and there was a major storm outside. Well, they actually declared a state of maximum alert and we risked a flooding, but this happens very often where I live, I'm used to it :D.

And now... hosiery!



I'm glad this is this month's theme because these last few months I've bought some really nice stuff.
Unfortunately, I haven't worn any of these things yet, so the outfits you'll see below are instant and random xD I haven't figured out how to wear some of these tights yet.










For some reason, the picture of my favourite stockings (the lace corseted ones) came out really, really bad :/ but I should wear them again in a comic convention this weekend, and I'll make sure to take better pics. :)
I hope you liked them - and if you have any suggestion on how to wear the red and the pentagram tights, they'd be more than welcome XD!

    1. If I had to do the victory roll by myself, I most certainly wouldn't have done it ^^ I had help from my mum.
      Thank you <3 I love those tights, especially because I am a piano player - or better, I used to be, and it reminds me of those times :)

    1. Ahah, thank you XD! But I'm not giving up this idea; there's still carnival and this time I'll tie my boyfriend up and shave his beard myself!

  5. The socks with lacing on the back are very beautiful! I'd love to wear something so pretty, yet unfortunately fishnets and such are often too cool an option in Finland... :/

    1. They're my favourite <3
      It's too cold for those stockings in Italy too XD I'm going to wear them over transparent tights, but in a month it will be too cold even for that D: lace stuff is always an issue to me: in the summer it's too hot for it, in the winter it's too cold, and in midseason you never know what the weather's going to be like T_T and to think that I'd wear nothing but lace!

  6. I think your pinup look is gorgeous! Those heels are so nice :)
    Lovely purchases of stockings. It was impossible to pick one favourite.

  8. Those red tights are amazing! I think the outfit you paired them with is the perfect complement for them. The simple black dress and booties really let the stockings do the talking. ;) I especially love the last look, too. Very elegant, plus bows!! :) Oh, and I have those same shoes except mine don't have the ankle strap. I wish they did - I much prefer my heels to have straps!

    1. Thank you so much :)! Those shoes actually didn't have ankle straps; I had them done because I couldn't walk very well in those heels, it always felt like I was losing them.
      Now they're more comfortable and I think they even look nicer :)
      Thank you for your comment and thank you for throwing this amazing monthly theme ;D!
