When Fashion Police reader Johanna reported this item, telling us it was a “trouser dungaree”, we expected to see… well, trouser dungarees. Then we opened the link and saw one of David Bowie’s stage outfits, circa 1972.
“Strange,” we thought. “That’s no ‘trouser dungaree’! That’s a unitard!”
But actually, this case is even stranger than that. Because a unitard is all in one piece. This? Is not. This is a two-piece garment. And, going by the photos, we have to assume that one part is the leotard/jumpsuit thingy, and the other piece is the removable leg.
Yes, we just used the words “removable leg” in relation to an item of clothing. We’re dying inside, here. Can you imagine a situation in which you’d want to remove one leg of your blood-stain patterned unitard? (Lady Gaga, you’re exempt from answering this, if you’re reading). Because we sure can’t. Maybe we’re just mixing with the wrong crowd? Although, if it’s a crowd that would pay $680, maybe that’s a good thing?

Bought your winter coat yet? If not, may we recommend this cocoon coat from Forever 21: not only is it a bargain at just $34.80, it’s very Jackie O – just add a pair of dark glasses and some elbow length gloves to keep your arms warm under those 3/4 sleeves for a chic, 60s look.

With Halloween coming up fast, we want to know what you’ll be wearing if you’re going out to celebrate – or what you would wear if you were going out somewhere.
This Style Challenge, then, will call for some creativity, as we ask you to use Polyvore to create a Halloween costume – you can be as outrageous or as subtle as you like! Oh, and you don’t have to use the bag pictured above (it’s from Topshop, in case you’re wondering) – it’s there purely for the purpose of illustration, but you can, of course, feel free to use it if you like!
Take a look at the rules before getting started:
The Rules:
1. Log-in to Polyvore (you may need to create an account first, if you don’t already have one)
2. Create your outfit, save it and then…
3. Post a link to your completed outfit in the comments on this post. We’ll publish them all next week sometime, and you can vote for your favourite.
4. Please note: you’re free to post links to as many outfits as you like, but please be aware that we’ll only post one entry per person. You can let us know which one you’d like us to use if you wish – if you don’t specify one, we’ll just choose the first one posted.
5. Once you’ve posted your link, please double check it to make sure it’s working properly – we get a lot of people posting links to the Polyvore home page, so we don’t get to see your outfit!
6. Comments on this entry will close on Monday, at around midday GMT. Once the comments are closed, we won’t be able to accept any further entries, so make sure you get yours in early!
