Practical Magic: Sally Owens

Posted byThrifty SubversionPosted inHalloween Movie OutfitsTags:, , , , , , , ,

I’m not really a Rom-Com person. My favorite genres are Horror, Sci-Fi, Documentaries, and Dystopian Apocalyptic films. That said, there’s something about Practical Magic that does it for me. Maybe I saw this at the exact point in my life where it made a major impact, but now I have seen this movie more times than I can count. I watch it fairly often still and always at least once in the month of October.

Sally Owens: And I don’t want them dancing naked under the full moon!

Aunt Jet Owens: No, of course. The nudity is entirely optional. As you well remember!

Outfit: Reversible dress made by my grandmother. One side is black with white calla lilies and the other is white with an abstract black square print. It feels like a combination of three of Sally’s different outfits rolled into one.

Shoes: Stacked White Keds

My bloodline has been cursed for generations. Any man who loves an Owens woman will be doomed to meet an untimely death.

Falling in love sounded awful, so when I was young, I created a spell called Amas Veritas to try to ensure my True Love™️ would never exist.

My sister Gillian (who is a real “I LOVE love” person) paired up with a dude first chance she could to escape our small town life. I write letters to her, but I miss her tremendously.

I try to distance myself from The Craft and blend in with the community. I run a botanical shop in town called Verbena, and I’m a PTA member.

When my sister and I are reunited, I start doing magic again. We’re “work with what you’ve got” people, so we use what we have onhand including some unconventional materials.

Men come outta the woodwork to try to get a piece of an Owens sister, but as the older one, I do what I can to beat them away.
