Today’s outfit is another grungy one.  I’ve been watching a lot of American Horror Story season 1 lately.  I’ve felt really inspired by the styling in the show, and this outfit was spawned from watching the episode that featured the Dead Breakfast Club.

I am wearing:

– Red beaded choker

– Black satin slip (thrifted)

– Black and white striped shirt from Cotton On

– Grey knitted cardigan (gift from my parents)

– Black and white striped socks from junk store

– Dr Martens boots

– Beaded flower ring

– Beetle ring

– Chain ring from ASOS

The weather has gone from hot and humid to freezing in a matter of days.  I adore playing with layers to add warmth to an outfit, and the grunge look really lends itself to experimenting with layers.  I like to add a chunky cardigan over lighter layers for a relaxed, slouchy look.

I had a lot of fun with my hair and makeup.  I pulled the front of my hair up into a messy quiff and slicked the back into a pony tail.

I blended shades of purple and green on my eyes and added a very 90’s inspired brown lip.

I am really getting into the spirit of Halloween, and I think that this outfit has quite a few Tim-Burton-esque elements that I adore.
