The girls at TrueFemme decided it would be fun to have a twitter halloween party, and since y’all know I’ve been *stuck on the ranch, I was pretty easily talked into dressing up for the occasion. I had to make do with what I have in my closet since running into town (when you live 40 miles away from the closest place to shop- and that sort of shopping is, relative) is, well, out of the question; plus we are buried in mud up to our eyeballs. Ok. So eyeball is a slight exaggeration. Maybe just up to our ankles. Don’t judge. If you haven’t had to trek through the gumbo I don’t want to hear about it!
Now here’s what I want y’all to do. In the comments section tell me what fashion faux pas this poor girl committed and how you’d have her shape up. The commenter providing the best advice will win a prize. Wanna know what you’re playing for?
A print of this, this or this. Your choice. I’ll do it in an 12×18 print. Or if you’re the winner and there is a different photo on this site that you’ve seen that you want let me know which one it is, and I’ll provide you with that one.

ROTFL!! So you really have blue eye shadow just laying around?! Love the bright red lips too! Maybe your AR gal should use a more subdued makeup approach.
Katja says
You are so funny! Can't wait to get to know you better!
Jen says
LOVe your costume and your pictures! You are adorable!
As a former Mary Kay lady, I think the faux pas is eyeliner on the inside of your eyelids. But Im not sure that's what you were lookin fer 🙂

@the wife- yes, I do have blue eye shadow, b/c when worn correctly it can be smoking!
@katja- thanks!
@jen- well she is doing that- but it's envogue to wear white on the inside; and yes her makeup does suck. the blue eyeliner, and the uber red lipstick. I mean aren't we all told either accentuate the eyes or the lips but never both?
There is a couple other broken rules, though!
The Wife says
This could be personal preference, but could haught hillbilly put a little crease in that hat of hers.
Maybe I need some eye shadow lessons. I'm boring neutral brown girl! 😉
Christina says
There are sooo many faux pas…icy blue shadow, liner, red lips…the natural look is much more flattering try some earthy tones. Also no one over the age of 16 should be in pigtails. A little too much denim for me as well pair the shirt with a solid colored skirt or vice versa pair the skirt with shirt other than denim.
You did sooo accomplish your mission with this outfit though…LOL
~The South Dakota Cowgirl~ says
@christina- you caught the major one-the no denim on denim rule. and blue eyeshadow is fine- if worn correctly. She totally overdid it!
@thewife- oh her hat definitely needs creased. lucky for me, Zach dunked that one in water at the end of the summer and is leaving it until next spring when he'll re-shape it.
Bina says
I'm late! But I would also say the boots with that outfit just do NOT match! Or that is that just me? But I love the costume!
