WhatIWore: For putting together the look of Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo (inspired by this Nickolas Muray 1939 photo), I wore:

• Two Faux Flower Pins, dusted with blush originally from H&M
• Dangly Metallic Earrings, originally from Target
• Stone and Metal necklace, originally from ModCloth
• Black Lace Betsey Johnson dress, gift
• Black Shaw, origins unknown
• Printed Silk Skirt, thrifted from Beacon’s Closet
• Various Bracelets, thrifted

While the clothing and accessories set the scene, the real star of this costume is the makeup.  I used:

• Eye shadow/liner to create fuller eyebrows
• Eyeliner/Mascara
• Heavy Pink Blush
• Red Lipstick

Everything from this costume was found in my own closet, making this an absolutely free homemade Halloween Costume!
