The month has come to an end and my favorite holiday is officially over. Halloween has always been my favorite for so many reasons but I love being able to dress up. I know some people never like having to deal with the costume part of Halloween but I'm sure you've never realized how easy it is to make a costume with items you already own. This year I had refused to go out and buy anything and decided to see what I could create with items that I had hanging in my closet. I started looking on Pintrest and saw all these ideas that were so cute but lets be honest who has the patience to make a mermaid costume from scratch? So I took the easy way out and came up with my first costume: Britney Spears circa Hit me baby one more time. I took a pleated skirt that I had bought from Forever 21 the year before, a white button up shirt I bought from Nordstrom BP a long time ago and realized I already had most of the outfit. All I needed was knee high socks and accessories for my hair. In total this costume cost me $9. My second night out for Halloween I channeled my inner Beyonce and wore what I had wore to the concert. I added some big gold hoops and threw on some Dolce Vita booties and called it a night. So next year when you're contemplating buying that $65 costume from a Halloween store remember to check your closet first. |
