It occurred to me that with a change of shoes my dress was the sort of thing Geena Davis' character Barbara would wear. If you don't know the storyline, Barbara and husband Adam die and find themselves haunting their own house. Much to their annoyance, a trendy New York family move in and begin ruining their beautiful old fashioned home with 'cool' sculptures and weird decorations. They begin to think that hiring the crazy ghost BEETLEJUICE to scare them off is their only option...
Anyway, I was wearing black shoes and belt with the dress but I thought white suited Barbara better, with her sweet nature and old fashioned home. Obviously it is not the same dress but I think it is something Barbara might wear. The second picture shows the back of the dress because I love it! Ignore the bra I forgot to take it off!
Even more strangely, the dress I had thrown in my bag to put on today put me in mind of Winona Ryder's character, when worn with the black tights, belt and jacket I had with me. Winona plays Lydia, the trendy family's gothic daughter who loves anything macabre and ends up helping the ghost couple.
She has the greatest costumes- dramatic, lacy and black at all times. As soon as I got home,I had to put on some plum coloured lipstick and my big black bow hairband and take some petulant photographs of myself!
Hairband: Oysho (Spanish shop), Jacket: H&M, Dress: River Island, Belt:Off a dress from Topshop, Tights: M&S, Shoes: M&S
