Witch wear?


There was a time in my life when I wore all black, from head to toe, every single day.  I am pretty sure this time period lasted approximately 19 months.  Although this was several years ago, it would be safe to say that 72% of my wardrobe is still black.

I almost never get rid of any clothing.  I still own the black pants that I sat on a fruit roll up in freshman year of high school- and I still own the black shoes that got nick-named "Crisco Shoes" for wearing them down so much that I slipped everywhere I went.

The following black skirt is actually a tube- top dress that I have had since my days of, I-Only-Wear-Black.
Shirt: Ross Belt: TJ Maxx Dress/Skirt: TJ Maxx Earrings: Stolen from my mother

But, when I look at it, I can't tell if it is too witch-like.  Can maxi skirts be black?

black maxi skirts are my current obsession actually, and with the stripes I'd say these photos are utter perfection really.

witch is my middle name. really. ask my kids. i think this is perfect and the styling keeps it from being scary and more edgy. but if you did want to paint your nails black and write poems about death i would support that too.

I like it, no witch like here. I think the belt adds the right touch

Write it in Lipstick

today i looked in the mirror and asked myself if i was going to a funeral,
and then wondered if i should carry a cauldron instead of a purse.
i too wore stripes, and black on bottom.
eerie.
let's make the witch look in :)

I love how you switched this beautiful dress up to make it a skirt. The striped top and fun belt makes this outfit a 10!

I'm the same way. My EBEW skirt was from High School. I love that you used the dress as a skirt.
Thanks for joining us at EBEW!
