trick or treat!

…smell my feet! just wanted to pop in quickly to share a few shots of my halloween costume. i’m not one to post party pictures, so i promised myself to actually get some shots of my outfit before i leave. and anyway, this dress is quite old and tattered, so i don’t know how it will survive the evening. based on my research, i’m pretty sure this is a 1950’s official girl scouts brownie uniform complete with the little felt hat.

ok! well happy halloween, folks! have fun and don’t eat too much candy!

wearing:
vintage 1950’s official girl scouts brownie uniform, ebay
brown tights, target
saddle shoes, payless
plastic jack o lantern, longs

p.s. cigarettes are bad, kids. but i hope you can appreciate the juxtaposition! i sorta couldn’t resist.

  1. You look absolutely adorable! I just love the vintage brownie outfit, complete with the little beanie! It reminds me of the Dearcreatures fall line!

    Oh, and thanks for your insight into my vegetarian/leather wearing dilemma and the suggestion of moo shoes! :)

  2. So awesome! Yet adorable. And that last photo is just pure…uh, awesomeness. Sorry to use the same word twice, apparently I can't think of anything else tonight.

  3. Aw you look so adorable! What an amazing find. The hat is just perfect. And I find the cigarette perfectly contrasts your outfit, haha.

  4. I desperately wanted a Brownie uniform when I was a little girl (I would have joined the Girl Scouts just to get one!). Happy Halloween!

  5. I had to laugh at the cigarette photo. I was in girl scouts until my 10th grade year and I swear they were nothing but bad girls. I had my first experience with smoking at the age of 11 at girl scout camp.

    The outfit is great by the way.

  6. I can't believe you fit into a Brownie uniform, haha. I can only imagine my old brownie uniform wouldn't fit over one of my thighs.

  7. haha, jeez what a bad ass brownie you make! smoking behind the bleachers while all the other girl scouts sell thin mints i bet, hehe! what a great idea you totally own this…
    xo,

  8. Adorable costume! It's so great that you have a vintage Brownies dress and I love the hat. I had that same Halloween pumpkin for collecting my candy too when I was younger.
    Hope you had a wonderful Halloween :)

  9. I'm proud of you for not turning this into a slutty girls scout outfit! Hooray for Halloween costumes that cover your butt!

  10. I agree with anonymous.. high five on not turning it into a slutty costume! One of the reasons I hate Halloween.. ugh. But you look fab! & thanks for your comment hehe I had so much fun as JUDYYYY!

  11. Too cute!! It fits so great too, really like the hat – completes the look!

    How are those Payless saddles shoes treating your feet? I've been tempted by them (or their price rather) compared to shelling out money for a pair of Bass one. These look like good quality shoes from your photos.
