Roy Lichtenstein was an American pop artist during the 1960's. His artworks defined the basic premise of pop art through humor. His main inspiration was comic strips. His work was heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. If you ever get a chance to see one of his beauty's up close, you will see the exquisite attention to detail. Its like you get to see a comic book page blown up where you can actually see the dots. Its amazing! Here are a few of his paintings:

So in the spirit of Halloween and Lichtenstein I had a perfect pairing that would make for great costume. I got this little number from Modcloth:
This dress is called "Good Enough to Eat Dress" and is made by a brand named Folter. I also would pair it with a purse I got from Dungaree Dolly. She has awesome vintage inspired bags with all sorts of prints so it was just meant to be that I had found both items in this print.

So I could pair these splendid prints together
for a wild comic book look..jpg)
However I needed to complete this look
oh yeah so I added a wig.
Now only if I could choose a pair of shoes?
Shoes:
(Yellow Pair) Resitricted / TJMaxx (older)
(Red Pair) Report / TJMaxx (older)
But lets face it my pup joined in, and his costume is so Pop Art it hurts. He's an Oldenburg soft sculpture!
Yep I went there.......What's your Halloween Costume Inspiration?
