I needed something fun & festive to celebrate Krampus Nacht. 🙂 I went with this skirt right here:
Wikipedia defines Krampus as a mythical creature recognized in Alpine countries. According to legend, Krampus accompanies St. Nicholas during the Christmas season, warning and punishing bad children, in contrast to St. Nicholas, who gives gifts to good children. Hey…some kids respond better to negative reinforcement. 🙂
Krampus Nacht is the night that Krampus roam the streets punishing those for their bad doings throughout the year. The Krampus often wear wooden masks, are dressed in animal furs, and often carry bells, chains, whips, and baskets with them.
I’m still in the process of getting better from what I shall henceforth call The Columbia Plague, so tonight’s refashion was a simple one.
I’ve gotta admit…I felt a little underdressed!
Luckily I’ve been good *cough* all year! 😉
Cheers!
Can´t believe how warm it must be there! Lovely colours in the dress.
And Merry Krampus to you guys!
Love what you did with the dress (accessories and all)!! No clue in this chicks head how you ‘do that thing you do’ 🙂 and still manage to pack so much into every day. I’m hooked to your blog because I love fashion and like to see your cool ideas daily. However, the absolute best thing about visiting is that you invite me (or we fans) to go with you on your daily journey. Thanks!! Very cool of you 🙂
Krampus is the thing of nightmares.
