Excerpt: What does one wear on a trip through the cosmos? Something comfortable and fireproof, with a supply of oxygen and rocket fuel stashed in the pockets? Something glamorous and twinkling, to try and blend in with the starry matter? I'm splitting the difference - and since I don't have to worry about jet propulsion during any portion of the evening, I can be comfortable and a little sparkly, with a beautiful rock on my finger to remind me of the home planet. 
If it were going to be a little wamer I might be able to pull this off...hmmm maybe that's a veto. Hey, it worked for Free People.
My second option is this silver sequined BCBG number....I have a few more picks but did not take the time to search for a photo on the inet. Now all that's left is for me to "MAD" make a decision. To go or not to go.....I guess if I'm going by myself I should look cute so no one notices. I'll be with a bunch of couples.....I'm basically the eleventh wheel if there ever was one. Oh, what to do?
I love a dress that is conservative in the front with an open-back. I love the unexpected....
As far as gloves go, there are countless varieties from perforated to fingerless. Your options are wide open. Free People offeres several choices; the ones below are Chanel. 
Now it's time to hit the road, Jack.
Talk about a shoe snob......
And who could resist these? A crown, skull, and nail you! Ah well I'll probably never get a pair for myself, but for all you gentlemen out there...just sayin'......
The one and only thing that should be retired after Labor Day and altogether is WHITE SHOES! This weekend I saw the most dreadful pair of chunky old school white sandals paired with a white and floral printed Easter dress. While I normally reserve my fashion commentary for personal conversations I had to share this...the best way I can describe it is Easter Sunday 1992 for a 10-12 year old girl....and the accused was a 28-31 year old lady.....the bad thing though those white shoes had a date and I didn't...rules or no rules...date or no date, I'm skipping the white clunkers and sticking with being complicated in my picks. Please girls, let this be a lesson, throw those white shoes out.....
Either way I am craving the vintage boho vibe.
Miniskirts, fringe, bell bottoms, platforms, plaid, tunics, big glasses, and caftans grew from trees, but for current interpretation the pieces need to be tempered. I know that I won't be caught dead in the shoes below.
Lucky for us, the 2009 versions abandon the cheap polyester . You can easily obtain an updated look by throwing on boho staples like peasant blouses, drawstring dresses, faded prints, jumpsuits, maxis, and a healthy amount of suede. 
And when dressing for past decades don't leave the denim behind. Pair bell bottoms and updated flares with gauzy tops and earthy, cork platforms.
Still not sure what to wear? Pop in Dazed and Confused or listen to this. Hmmm.....a Sunday viewing perhaps?
Over the years {we're talking back to grade school} I have been a mermaid, Alice in Wonderland, an American Girl doll, a cowgirl, a cat, and have the makings for many others in my box of tricks--a hippie, a Greek goddess, a flapper, and a Motley Crue of accessories for the makings of many more.
...but at the moment I had sworn off costumes until I spotted the Carrie tut dress, the dress that opened every show, the dress on the bus, the dress she tripped in, the dress she was splashed with water in and the dress she kept in the movie...
It was the epitome of youth and fun! I do think that it might be a stretch to call myself Carrie for Halloween, but it was a thought...at the moment not dressing up is winning, followed by a pirate, followed by Carrie, followed by a 60s girl--vintage dress! 
Ahh well nothing to get my feathers ruffled about I still have over two months...Any suggestions?
