On the Up and Up You are up for a big promotion at work, but next week is also your company's annual costume party. The higher-ups want to see that you are a lady with class, refinement, and poise, and yet you also want to show your dedication to company culture and partake in the festivities. Fear not! This Delightfully Dreadful Women's Vampiress Costume has you covered! This look is both sophisticated and scary, perfect for a costume party at which you need to put your best foot forward. Think about it: You can't impress upper management by showing up as a cute, fuzzy animal???no one will take your drive and determination seriously; nor do you want to arrive as a superhero (too over-confident and flashy), political figure (too controversial), or pop culture reference (too specific and potentially divisive). No, it has to be this classic-meets-classy costume so you can confidently schmooze with the bosses! Fun Details This layered look makes your multitasking look effortless. It combines a long velour jacket atop a black velvet maxi skirt. The jacket is styled with a high-powered, high-pointed collar and features lacy sleeve cuffs, for added elegance. The lace dickey has a high-neck collar and faux pearl buttons, and has you looking like a lady who can handle herself in any situation. You'll need to secure a pair of black gloves on your own, but we recommend taking that extra step to ensure your look is on point! As a vampiress???and potential VP???we think you look like the height of eerie sophistication! Non-Human Resources You'll look so capable in this costume, the hiring committee will give you that promotion before you leave the party! We told you it would send the right message. The company president will tell you to put down your punch and head straight to Human Resources to fill out your paperwork. The only trouble is, for the rest of the day, you're not a human. Better wait 'til tomorrow to get the ball rolling on your new position. We think this job is one you'll really be able to sink your teeth into! ??
