Hey guys! I hope you had a very happy Halloween week! It was a Halloween Cat Costume year for me…
As usual my costume was very easy, very DIY and very last minute. This year, after just getting back from Italy, I was still in my ‘wearing all black like the Italians do’ mood. So dressing up like my favorite all black kitty cat (Mr. White of course) seemed like the perfect costume….
Easy Cat Costume…
- black sparkly cat ears *
- satin black tie or black choker – optional
- liquid black eyeliner**
- black tights or leggings
- black long sleeves top or dress
- dark shoes or boots ***
* I would seriously wear these ears just for fun. They are super light and really cute. Not pinchy or tight at all.
** Be super cute and use Tarte’s vegan Kitten eyeliner
*** Bhava Editor boots, and my black Rothy’s would have also worked
…And that’s it! I put this Halloween Cat costume together in about a half hour – makeup included. And it was fun and festive. Not included, but you could definitely add: a black tail.
Bonus Points: Hug, cuddle and kiss any kitty cat (or dog!) for FREE fur all over your outfit, ha. Thanks Mr.White.
As for this Halloween Photoshoot.
I had visions of putting both my kitties in little black bow ties and posing with them all perfectly. Maybe one of them would even hop on the stool for me. But nope. Sochi hid under the bed the whole time and Mr White only came out for a plethora of Greenies – his fave treat. But I will say, he actually seemed to like his bow tie. Maybe next year we can all dress up as Sochi… and go all stripes. Or maybe not 🙂 Probably not. First and last time with kitty bow ties in use. Ha.
Shiny + New…
