Witch of the woods outfit
I've already written a post about this dress but a) the photos went a bit fuzzy, b) I was wearing leggings and c) it's just too perfect for Halloween not to feature again. I even wore the legging shorts that I kept promising you. Wahey! An outfit post with no leggings!
Star print maxi dress: Simply Be Hat: Primark (similar here) Shoes: Peacocks (similar here) In keeping with the Halloween theme, I figured I'd create a witchesque outfit and go running around the woods. Initially, I planned to try some sort of spooky, powerful facial expressions but it turns out I just look like I'm trying- and failing- to be seductive. Instead, I guess I'm your friendly neighbourhood wood witch. We all have one, right?
My star print maxi dress is one of my favourite things at the moment. When I put it on, I feel so confident and in control. Probably something to do with the way it whips around my legs like a superhero cape. Since it's buttoned all the way through, you can choose how much skin to show and I tend to go for a fair bit because I'm an exhibitionist like that! Also, legging shorts! That link is to the pair I wear and they're great since I can get my legs out but still be completely chafe-free (and, of course, if my dress-slash-superhero-cape gets a little too excitable, I'm not flashing my Elmo pants to the whole of Trafalgar Square, something that has never ever happened to me ever. ahem)
I bought the floppy hat when I started wearing this outfit and had a big hoo-hah about whether the outfit called for a hat and whether hats even looked good on me anyway. The next time I was in Primark, I bought one but it's sat perched on top of Doris, my dressmaker's dummy, for the past 6 months without the tag even being removed. This outfit definitely called for a hat but I'm still not sure if it suits me in general. Great for Halloween, but will I just look a bit odd otherwise? I'm not much of a hat person, you see. It was also a bit of a pain because it cast a big shadow over my face for the first half of the photos until we clocked on to the fact that I could, you know, just move it back a bit, but at least it protected my hair when it started raining.
Unfortunately I didn't get a shot of my shoes since I was scared off by a weird man who was going for a rather suspicious stroll through the heavily wooded areas with a hoodie and drawstring bag but they're actually heels! I'm making definite progress with my ability to wear heels- my favourite boots have a slight heel and then these ballet pumps have a small block heel. These black suede block heels are still small but the highest of the three and I find them super comfortable. Rejoice!
After my experimentation with red lipstick at the beginning of the month, I thought I'd crack some out again for Halloween. This is MAC Ruby Woo and what a classic it is! A matte, blue-based red which I find great for faking definition on my top lip.
This was the first time Rich had used my new camera but, as you can see from the photos, he got on really well with it. It's much easier to use than my old one, especially when it comes to focusing, and you can't deny that the photos come out looking great. Everyone says you don't need a good camera to take good photos but my God, it helps!
It's just struck me that I keep calling these post OOTD even though they're not really outfits of the day, are they? I mean, right now I'm writing this post on 11th Oct in pretzel-print PJ bottoms and a big woolly jumper, having shot the photos on the 9th. So, really, this is OOTWA (outfit of two weeks ago). Force of habit, I guess. Does it matter? Am I being all unrelatable and deceptive by still calling them OOTDs? Man, this blogging malarkey is a philosophical nightmare when you really start thinking about it.

LOVE this. You look like a perfect spooky witch. Also I just take OOTD as a figure of speech haha!
I love that dress on you! Such a perfect location too!
I clicked through and saw your new camera is the 700D, can I ask what camera you had before? I've been seriously considering upgrading to the 700D from my current 600D, but I can't decide if it's worth it. Reply Delete
I had a Nikon D3100 and it was RUBBISH! Can't help you with the 600D question, I'm afraid! It can't be much different to the 700D though can it? Delete
To complement the overall witchy aesthetic, footwear should be dark and elegant. Lace-up boots, pointed-toe flats, or even barefoot with anklets can all be viable options depending on personal preference and the desired level of comfort. The Witch of the Woods outfit is not limited to one particular season and can be styled according to the weather. In colder months, a cloak or shawl in a complementary hue can be layered over the dress for added warmth and style. Additionally, outerwear such as a leather jacket or fur coat can be paired with the outfit to create a more edgy and modern interpretation. Overall, the Witch of the Woods outfit is a captivating and versatile choice for those who wish to embrace their witchy side. With its mystical charm and enchanting appeal, it allows individuals to express their unique sense of style and evoke a sense of magic and wonder in their everyday lives..
Reviews for "Unleash Your Inner Sorceress with Witch of the Woods Fashion"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Witch of the woods outfit". The material felt cheap and flimsy, and the fit was all wrong. The skirt was too short and the top was way too tight, even though I ordered my usual size. The design also looked tacky in person, with glitter and sequins that were falling off as soon as I took it out of the package. Overall, it was a big letdown and not worth the price at all.
2. Mike - 1 star - I don't understand the hype around the "Witch of the woods outfit". The costume looked nothing like the picture on the website. The colors were dull and faded, and it just looked outdated overall. The sizing was also way off, even with the measurements provided. The length of the dress was too long, and the sleeves were ridiculously puffy. It felt like I was wearing a Halloween costume from the 90s, not a trendy outfit for a witch. Save your money and look elsewhere for a better costume.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The "Witch of the woods outfit" was a complete disappointment. The quality was subpar, with loose threads and uneven stitching everywhere. The fabric felt scratchy and uncomfortable against my skin. The cape, which was supposed to be a focal point of the outfit, was poorly made and didn't drape properly. It looked more like a cheap tablecloth than a stylish accessory. I would not recommend this costume unless you want to waste your money on something that doesn't live up to its description.
4. Liam - 2 stars - I was really excited to wear the "Witch of the woods outfit" for Halloween, but it ended up being a regrettable purchase. The sizing was way off, with the dress being too tight in some areas and too loose in others. The fabric had a weird chemical smell that didn't go away even after washing it. The hat was also flimsy and didn't hold its shape, making it look ridiculous when worn. Overall, the costume was a complete letdown and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a witch costume.
