Wandering With C: On Wednesdays We Wear Black

It's October first already?! AND A WEDNESDAY AT THAT. I'm so beyond ready for Halloweentown weather, cheesy scary movies, and pumpkin flavored everything, which has had me thinking about my favorite halloween themed characters, costumes, etc. I really love interpreting what my favorite television characters would wear if they lived in our world, if you haven't noticed. When I was little, I watched The Addams Family constantly. I was an odd child. I've always admired Wednesday for her dark humor and subtle intelligence, as well as envied her uncanny self-awareness and ability to see past all norms. I've never been so excited to publish a post before, honestly. I get to put my own twist on one of my favorite television characters EVER. I really personalized this Wednesday look to fit my own style. Obviously I had to incorporate black as well as the signature white collar into the dress, but I am also a bit more girly than Wednesday- and when I say "a bit," you know a mean an awful lot. So I chose a little retro number from ModCloth (obviously) with more of the peter pan collar that I tend to wear almost too predictably. Ms. Addams also loves her little black lace-up boots, and I can't disagree with that. The ankle boots that I chose have an added hidden wedge because I like to pretend that I'm tall. But what would Wednesday Addams be without her signature braids? I WISH that I could pull of a middle part and two small braids, but unfortunately I cannot, so I customized the look once again with a slightly more intricate side braid. I added the lace socks and bright lipstick to add just a touch more of myself into the look. Below, you'll find all of the details, as well as some of my favorite Wednesday Addams quotes ever (I couldn't resist!) Who's your favorite TV character? Favorite holiday? Stay tuned for 90305794 more character inspired looks this month as well as a post introducing you to my three perfect roommates and even a virtual tour of our dorm, sweet dorm. The week is halfway over! Hang in there, my little homicidal maniacs. Have a wretched day. Play with your food, wear a cheerful color, or actually black. Love you forever.
