This Halloween eve, I’ve finally achieved my 30-year-old dream of dressing up like ’80s pop star Adam Ant. Oh my God! I have costume dreams that are older than many fashion bloggers.<\/p>\n

Unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor!<\/p><\/div>\n

What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nJacket:<\/strong> ModCloth<\/a> (2010)
\nShirt and sash:<\/strong> A couple of websites that sell pirate clothes
\nLeggings:<\/strong> American Apparel latex-look leggings (2007<\/a>)
\nBoots: <\/strong>Michael Kors (pre-2005)
\nRing:<\/strong> My own Juana Peekaboo Skull Ring<\/a><\/em>
\nHair: <\/strong>Julie Matos
\nMakeup:<\/strong> By a talented friend<\/em><\/p>\n

I always imagined I’d wear a vintage Future Ozbek<\/a> jacket with this costume but the right one never showed up at the right time. I did some research on real and replica Hussar jackets<\/a>, and some of them cost $2,000, so that was out of the question. Luckily, ModCloth came through for me in the glittery jacket department.<\/p>\n

For hair and makeup, I was guided by this photo, among others.<\/p>\n

Adam Ant. I wish I had his cheekbones.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you don’t know Adam Ant from Adam<\/a>, you can check out the post I did about him in 2007<\/a>. And here’s the 1980 video that triggered my painted-face, pirate-outfit fantasies.<\/p>\n

Here’s a 2009 article on Adam’s post-fame trials and tribulations<\/a>. The photo of him with Jordan <\/a>from Vivienne Westwood’s SEX boutique<\/a> is a must-see. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
