Jacket - thrifted, vintage. It think it once came with a dress
T-shirt - Target
Skirt - thrifted (note the awesome fringe at the bottom that flings around when I walk - so fun!)
Boots - Charles by Charles David
Today I feel like Shelley Long in Troop Beverly Hills, where she chic-ifies all her Girl Scout uniforms into "cocktail frocks."
Hat/fascinator - thrifted
Shirt - thrifted in Halloween costume section
Pants - Target
Shoes - next
Nothing exciting to report. Stayed home last night and sewed/cleaned. I think I've mentioned that I'm making a Max, from Where the Wild Things Are costume for a friend. My whole house is COVERED in fur. Everywhere I go, every time I sit down, just full of hair. Cutting faux fur is bad, bad news. Fortunately it is turning out rather awesome... "so at least I've got that going for me." (Bill Murray reference anyone?) I also finally started on my Maude Lebowski from the hallucination scene costume (you know, where she's like a viking with boobs made from bowling balls). I nearly cut all my fingers off several times last night trying to saw plastic toy bowling balls in half with a huge serrated knife - oopsy doops? Digits still intact. Score!

your maude costume sounds soooo awesome!! cant wait for THOSE pics!!
Love the idea for the Maude costume! I'm trying to convince Joe to go as the Dude, since he already has the requisite beard, and it would basically just require wearing pajama pants and a cardigan.
Those Charles David boots are phenomenal!!!
Also, the costumes sound fantastic - hope you share!
Maude Lebowski? Sheer brilliance.
OK OK! I have GOT to see these costumes! PLEASE? LOL!
Love Caddyshack!
For the girl scout uniforms you MUST see Whip It!
Troop Beverly Hills=best movie ever.
"Beverly Hills, what a thrill"
