After messing around with Polyvore for a few… HOURS.. (Beware this site, ladies! It’s a timesuck!!! A good one, though…!!) we came up with a few inspirational outfits for Hello Kitty’s Bats and Cats Masquerade!

In the last masquerade inspiration post, we showed the more costume-y side of what could be worn to the party. In this post, let’s take a look at some Masquerade-themed outfits.

If you’d like to go more goth and bat-like, check out these fun coordinates we whipped up!
