It's Halloween: the only day in the year when you can wear tomato red tights, dark purple lipstick, a skull-print mini-dress and orange sequin devil horns, and no one will even flinch. (Except maybe those with some colour coordination skills.)
But even on that blessed 'who-cares-about-style, let's-go-crazy' day, people don't really dress-up. Not during the day anyways.
The only really amazing outfit I have seen today was worn by a Goth, and it was probably her every day style.
Granted, Halloween is a little bit childish. Once past the age to ask for sweets (and at 21, my trick-and-treat days are well over), there seems to be little point in dressing up.
Also, it's not a British tradition. And let's face it: it's more fun to go trick or treating in an American suburban Neighbourhood decorated with pumpkins, than in a London tower-block.
That said, it still remains a great day to try on the new Soft Goth trend.
If the heavy jewelery and the jet-black lipstick just don't do the trick (unfortunately some things look great on the YSL catwalk but not on us), it's good to make a note of it on the day when it's OK to look scary.
Even if it wasn't the intended effect originally...
