Here is the first Halloween costume I wore on Friday.  For work on Friday, I decided to embrace my German side and wore this dirndl that I borrowed from a friend.

I put my hair up in milk braids and added the silk flowers.  The shawl was a last minute addition, because its was COLD finally here in southern California, and I wanted something to keep me warm that didn’t clash with the outfit.  Unfortunately it made the outfit look a little more Frida than Oktoberfest.  But no, I swear I was NOT dressed up as Frida.
