It's That Time of Year

After much debate and too much reliance on Google (where I developed an intense and burning rage at the apparent requirement that women get all slutted up for Halloween-- I guess I missed the memo on that one), I have decided to dress as Holly Golightly for Halloween. There are two minor problems with this costume, which I hope my very smart friends will help me solve. The first is the dress. I do not own a black dress similar to the one Audrey Hepburn wears in the movie. I do, however, have a pink one that is very similar. In fact, it is vintage (from about the same era, no less) and commonly known among my girlfriends as "The Audrey Hepburn Dress". I also have two plain black dresses, but neither one has the feel of the era. Does the Holly Golightly character transfer to the pink dress? Can I successfully pull off the character if I go to Target, buy a cheap tiara and a pair of gloves (white? or black?), and then get one of those long cigarette holder thingies (what the heck are those called, anyway?) from some as-yet-unknown place? Or do I really need the black dress? Are people going to get this costume, anyway? I share similar coloring and body shape to Audrey Hepburn and can (I think) force my hair into an appropriate updo, but I am certainly not as elegant and lovely as she. No one on Earth is, really.
