Costume it up like Bettie Page

Ouija board fashion at Waterfront Park

Miranda's artistic nature is portrayed through her outfit
Miranda's artistic nature is portrayed through her outfit

In between tastings of lobster mac and cheese, deep fried macaroni balls, and beer samples from Booze Brothers, I had time to lounge, digest, and enjoy the atmosphere at the unlimited Mac + Cheese Fest at Waterfront Park.

Among the vibrant summer rompers and mac-and-cheese themed T-shirts, I spotted Miranda from a distance, grabbing a beer sample from another booth. Her witchy outfit seemed a little out of place in the 90-degree October sunshine, but it reminded me of the rapidly approaching Halloween season.

Miranda is a surrealist acrylic painter, born and raised in San Diego. When asked what inspired her outfit that day, she relayed, “Since it’s Halloween season, I was trying to be slightly spooky, so I put some dark stuff on. I was trying to go with a little bit of noir, since it’s that time of year, and I like that type of stuff.”

Dark nails complete her Halloween inspired look.

Her eerie-chic ensemble consisted of a mix of mainly black pieces, starting with the black cowboy hat she scored from the 99-cent store. It was complemented perfectly by her see-through lace kimono (Ross, $15) and strappy black bralette (on sale at Target, $15). What really drew me in, however, was her Ouija board wrap skirt, which she got online (she couldn’t remember where) for roughly $20. Her sandals were a purchase from a previous trip to Vegas. Asked what they cost, Miranda laughed, “I think I paid too much for them.”

I inquired about her daily outfit style. She answered she typically likes to “costume it up.”

When asked if she had any fashion icons, Miranda responded, “You know what? I like Bettie Page. So I actually like to dress, like, rockabilly a lot the time.”
