Oh why hello! It has been one heck of a week celebrating Fall, Halloween and the newest month, November!

I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked from my costume, but I think you will get what I was trying to accomplish from the ones below.

It all started with this little inspiration. I've always wanted to dress up as a flapper and one time in college, I quickly put together a black dress and a feather headband for a house party but I never actually went all out with hair and everything. So this year, I thought I'd go a  la Great Gatsby and dress up as Daisy! The end result - I loved it.


So after some much needed "Pinteresting" and "Googling," I settled on finding a lace dress and lots of fun gold and silver accessories. Good thing was, most of this was already in my wardrobe.

I found the dress below at Forever21 for a mere $24.80 and scooped up the headband for $3.80. Oh, how I love Forever21. I then stopped at the craft store and picked up a few feathers that I later hot glued to the headband.

I watched a YouTube video on a simple updo style - this one and I am actually pleased at how it came out! It was definitely easy to do. I'm sure if I had given myself a little more time, I would have been able to perfect it better but regardless, it came out great! What do you think?
