Tee, ModCloth

I've never had strong opinions about the Bride of Frankenstein (or, more accurately, the bride of Frankenstein's monster).  Then last Christmas, I found this tee for just a few bucks at ModCloth.  Its bride is far from the frumpy lady love of the lugubrious lug.  Instead, she's a va-va-voom vixen rocking a mini dress and an insouciant expression beside the age-old challenge of trick-or-treat.  So I snapped it up and tucked it away with high hopes for Halloween.

And now it's time to bust it out in a fit of candy-colored chaos.  Styling it with patterns and accessories a-plenty was more fun -- and freeing -- than wearing a costume.  Because it's still me -- only amplified.

It's what Mary Shelley would've wanted.

Well, that and the right to own property.

I love your Bride of Frankenstein inspired ensemble!! You totally rock it in your unique and colorful way! Your updo and accessories definitely give a nod to the bride and the shirt is so awesome. Also, I got a kick out of seeing my ring again - thanks for that! Your Halloween-inspired necklaces totally rock and I was admiring them in your Etsy shop today! The snapshot of the Michaels display was a real treat, too. 💚💖💜🖤
