It's been years since I wore a Halloween costume, especially to work.
Although we don't have an office policy about wearing costumes that I'm
aware of, there are always a few of my co-workers, usually the younger women, who get adventurous and dress up.
So I got to thinking today what I would wear as a costume to the office. I started poking around on the Internet and came across a 2013 article on Babble.com called "10 Halloween Costumes You Won't Be Embarrassed To Wear To Work" and loved the first look I saw - a spy or secret agent.
I could actually pull this off and wouldn't feel too self-conscious (I think). It's basically a trench coat, sexy boots, leather gloves, and some dark sunglasses. This happens to be one of my favorite fall/winter looks!
The writer of the website actually got her inspiration from a fashion blogger whose site I haven't visited for a long time, lovemaegan.com Besides being a gorgeous blonde, she has a great fashion sense and puts together some incredible looks! To say I'm envious would be an understatement! In addition to the photos below, you can see her incredible look here, although I don't think I could wear the coat as a dress like she does! And those boots are a-mazing!
That said, I'd have to have another great "costume" look underneath, which also happens to be featured in the article. This time, it's Bonnie Parker of the classic bank robber movie, "Bonnie and Clyde." This look basically involves a short-sleeved, sweater, pencil skirt, scarf, and beret (gun optional). Another classic look and the only things I would do is to update the look with a leather pencil skirt and an infinity scarf.
Another place to appreciate fine leather fashion.

Extreme thigh-high boots - "Kane" by Report Signature.
Under the category of "boot looks I'll never be able to pull off" come these very memorable "Kane" boots by Report Signature. First of all, they're not new, and in fact, I found a 2009 photo shoot on YouTube featuring them. However, I'm not sure if I've ever featured them on this blog before. And they're definitely blog-worthy!

The fact that these have straps at the top of the shafts that allow a belt to be attached remind me of vintage "Wild Pair" chap boots. For the record, I've tried those and found I'm not leggy enough to pull off the look. If I could pull this look off, I'm thinking it would be fun to debut them at a Halloween party paired with a catsuit for a very sexy Catwoman costume.
Below is the aforementioned photo shoot video. Oh, and the long black leather gloves are a VERY nice addition to an already incredible look!
Another nice, but short, video of these boots strutting!
