Orange and black today as it was Halloween, haha! I wore orange last year too. We don't really dress up here in Australia, although I did see someone wearing devil horn headband on the bus and my bestie saw a man in lederhosen!

Although we missed out on the Zombie Walk and Fright Night this year, I couldn't resist putting Cooper in his little NYPD outfit that my sister brought him back from the US. Cutest little Halloween costume! :)

Did you get dressed up for Halloween today?

  5. Mica, I love that purple with your top & skirt. Looks so pretty together. What a fabulous subtle way to acknowledge halloween. Looks really good! I showed my mom Cooper's costume. We think it's so cute! HAHAHA I couldn't wait to see what he was going to wear. I didn't dress out this year. Maybe next. :)

  7. That jacket is such a chic piece and love how you used the nice pop of orange to accent the dark toned combo. Looking great in both outfits! I'm dressing up tonight for a party but still not sure what I'm going to wear yet haha.

  16. That shirt with the sausage dogs on it is a classic. I love it, and I like how the ASOS skirt is unique too. Lucky you have a job where you get to dress up in nice clothes most of the time. Have a great weekend Mica! sparkle2day.com
