One of my favorite costumes of all times has always been that of a pirate! So this year I had to put an outfit in one day (we had a Halloween party early this year), and it was very unexpected, so I did not have any time to shop for one. So I just shopped my closet, so to say. And my ancient pants seemed like a perfect start, then came the vest that I got on ebay, a white blouse with wide sleeves (perfect!), black boots that I had forever, an old wide belt to go across the front of my blouse, the gold ancor necklace, and of course a crimson headband to achieve “the Johnny Depp” look! None of this is diy though, unfortunately, as I mentioned before I had less than 2 hours!! But you can only imagine how much time it took me to braid my hair and incorporate beads in it! So I consider it a true DIY indeed! Thanks so much for taking a look at this improvised “Jackie Sparrow” look!

P.S You might have noticed that I look different in some of the pictures, and that's because the event lasted for 3 days, and to my own surprise and astonishment I came up with 3 different outfits and all from my own closet! I did not even know I owned so many pirate related clothes. Maybe I was one in my past life, lol. Gotta love PIRATES!
