I think I could do Katy Perry since I have her coloring.

i wear most of this randomly... why do i feel like as a fashion student nothing can phase me anymore?

Some of it's okay, some of it is just stupid!

i agree some of these are not necessarily edgy. but for my comfort level, they kinda are! and this is what celebrities wear on a daily basis! they get away with so much...

Some of these looks are a little too much even for Halloween, and some aren't really edgy/costumey at all (leopard print nail art isn't really that edgy...)
