As a college student one of my dilemmas around this time of year is too many Halloween parties, & not enough costume choices. I never want to wear the same thing twice, but I hate spending a bunch of money on a cheap Halloween costume I'll never wear again. This is when my creative inner fashion student comes out.. I take hte opportunity to go hunting through my closet for some potential costume combinations.
It's easy to create a costume around items everyone has in their closet just by adding a few accompanying accessories to get the full effect:
- Plaid Shirts: add an axe, trendy desert boots, and a trapper hat to be a chic lumberjack.
- Drapey White Dress: Pair with a gold lead headband, metallic gladiators, and a gold cuff to be a grecian goddess.
- Little Black Dress: Channel your inner Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's by toting a teal Tiffany & Co bag, and a necklace full of pearls.
What costumes have you come up with out of pieces already in your closet?

the lumberjack costume is adorable :).
ReplyDeleteLOVE these ideas! I'm raiding my closet too instead of buying something new. But, I've got period renaissance dresses in there and a bunch of other crazy stuff from my drama student days. The only challenge is fitting into them again.
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever Lauren! I think I could easily do #2 and #3! :)

ReplyDeleteReally good ideas. I love the Grecian goddess one! It's so simple and perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! We're doing a 20's inspired day at Anthro to celebrate Halloween. I plan to rock a great lace dress, long pearls and am still on the hunt for the perfect, iconic cloche hat. Vintage stores here I come!
ReplyDeleteSo super cute!!
ReplyDeleteLove the holly golightly one!
ReplyDeleteMy Halloween costume is up in the air, so I was considering dressing as Holly Golightly. I have a major infatuation with her character, so it's the perfect look for me to channel. It puts my new LBD to good use!
