We’ve
all looked to celebrity style for fashion inspiration at some point in our
lives. But it’s one thing to say “I love her outfit,” and it’s another to
actually copy it in real life.

For this
series, I’m going the extra mile and making it happen. Each week, I’m getting
inspiration from a celebrity and copying five of her looks as closely as
possible. Then, I’m reporting back to you: Did the outfits work in real life?
Did I feel comfortable? Did people treat me differently? I’m sharing it all.

In past posts I’ve dressed like Zendaya, Gigi Hadid, Grace Kelly, Kendall Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens, Sophie Turner, Priyanka Chopra, Millie Bobby Brown, Hilary Duff, Lily Collins and Taylor Swift.

This week, I’m indulging in celebrating my favorite holiday, Halloween. So, I dressed like iconic female Halloween characters for a week. (See also, part 2 and part 3 of this Halloween series.)

The female members of The Addams family are, hands down, the most iconic and emulated characters from the franchise. Wednesday Addams has innocent doe eyes, but she is far from harmless. Her iconic black dress with a white collar is a staple of LBD-based Halloween costumes.

I recreated Wednesday’s outfit in a modern way with a black dress that has a collar, except mine is golden instead of white. I then added a pair of black knee socks and some Doc Martens. Since it has been a bit chilly, I wore a simple black cardigan. Maybe if the weather had been a bit colder, I would have worn tights under the socks, but it wasn’t necessary on this day. I did wear my hair like hers since her pigtails are just as iconic as her dress.

Since this was the most costume-y outfit of the week, I expected to feel like a weirdo all day. But no one in the office bated an eye and at school a lot of people complimented me!
