Hey Fashionistas,

This outfit is for everyone who wants to start getting into the Halloween spirit without looking costume. It could also be an inspiration for everyone who dose not know what to wear on the 31th and don’t feel like going to a store for a costume.

I love to be bold and use bold colors in this time of fall. This to me means wearing darker lipstick, darker clothing and keeping the femininity by contrasting hard and soft.

I’m wearing a grey jersey dress with tulle, which represents the soft part of my outfit. This dress is tight in the top but because of the tulle it hides the hip area which is perfect for every body shape. Tulle dresses and skirts are usually give out a girly and cute vibe but this is not really what we want to achieve with this look. The trick here is to mix and match soft and hard.

To keep the outfit edgy and to add the perfect Halloween touch I choose to wear a leather jacket. The black leather jacket is the hard aspect in this outfit which reduces the girly vibe of the dress. This leather jacket has great details on the front and on the shoulders. What I love most about this jacket is that it is tailored and the zipper ends in the middle of the jacket which makes it more interesting looking compared to most jackets. A leather jacket is the perfect companion for fall because the material is robust to protect you against rain and wind while looking stylish. I’m pretty sure everyone has a leather or pleather jacket hanging somewhere in there closet if not now is the time to buy one.

I’m wearing my favorite ankle boots. These ankle boots look polished and edgy. You can also wear wedge boots or flat boots but I recommend boots to this outfit in order to keep it dark and creepy to keep with the Halloween spirit. The boots are also transforming the dress so you will look like a dark princess that rises from the shadows rather than a happy flower-picking doll.

October stands not only for Halloween but for wind and rain so do yourself a favor and style your hair undone and messy.

The outfit looks polished, edgy and chic. So start paring your tulle dress or skirt with a pair of boots and rough leather jacket, paint your fingernails black and choose a dark color lipstick, I prefer the color perfect plum from Maybelline. And your pre-Halloween outfit is ready.
