This Halloween, I Wore A Potato Sack

This Halloween, I figured that there could be nothing more ironic than wearing a potato sack. But, this isn’t any old potato sack because it’s emblazoned with big, bold red and black type!

I hadn’t planned on dressing up this year but that quickly changed as I was wandering through the never-ending maze of booths at an antique show over the weekend with my brother. I spotted this amazing 60s era costume resting on a rack and with a little bartering, I walked away with it for 20 dollars (which might be pricy for a standard-issue potato sack but this one was very, very special!)

In full, the ‘dress’ reads:

Be beautiful in a POTATO SACK
Looks like a sack
Feels like a sack
IS A SACK
Fill with 100 lbs. or more of charm, and save money on new French inspired creations
Guaranteed to loose [sic] shape without ironing
For evening wear, add Mink trimmings

So, there you go. This Halloween, I went all out…wearing a glorious vintage potato sack with DKNY nude fishnets and All Caps Dahlias. I won’t lie…I wanted to belt it and accessorize so badly but I realized that would defeat the purpose! Have a fun and safe Halloween!

      lau: Thanks, darling! Most of the photos made me look like a stump…potato sacks are so awkward but I love how random and wacky this is…someone must of had fun copywriting that day!

      kara mae: Wowza, she wore a real life potato sack and looked amazing. I guess that’s what a little tailoring can do! And I’ve seen those shoes before in various photos with different ribbons like you mentioned. So unique.

      kat – rocknrollbride: I tried! It’s hard to make something so shapeless look decent…but that’s what Halloween is all about! Stepping outside of your comfort zone and throwing on something you wouldn’t wear on a normal day!

    i love your style and oddly this is one of my most favorite photo series of you EVER!!!
    i’m a total over-accessorizer, but the simplicity of the font and THEM THAR SHOES is spectacular. damn you, Nubbers.

    tip of the hat once again!
