When I worked for a resale store, we had a "Witches Night Out" event around Halloween. For two years in a row, I gave a "Halloween costumes as outfits" presentation. I took popular Halloween costumes and turned them into actual outfits using clothing and accessories from the resale store I worked for. These outfits can be put together easily by deciding on a costume, then building the outfit by shopping resale, retail, or even your own closet.
Freddy Krueger (maybe not a popular costume, but a recognizable one)- I paired a striped shirt with khakis and thick army boots (not pictured)
Gypsy- I used a classic off white top with a flowy skirt, wrapped a scarf around the waist, crossbody bag, long necklaces, and boots
Jessica Rabbit- I found a silky red dress, layered it with a leather jacket, evening bag, and dressy slingbacks
Genie- This outfit included a sheer black top with baggy "hammer" pants, and embellished ankle boots. I threw a thin cardigan over it because....you know, it's October....and the top was really sheer.
Katniss Everdeed- I used a tank top, with a leather jacket paired with hunter green pants, a crossbody bag, and thick army boots
Lady Gaga- This one was fun. We got this awesome 80's jacket in one day and the Lady Gaga costume was born. I used a little black dress, put the sparkle jacket over it, then added super tall heels. I also added some sweet shades with it and a crossbody Chanel inspired bag.
Pirate- I used a flowy white blouse, a leather vest, belt and red scarf tied around the waist, a velvet flowy skirt, bag, and tall boots.
I hope this inspires you to dress up this year. This is a way to dress up for Halloween without actually dressing up. You could probably wear these any day of the year. Probably.
In other news, Katherine is now 7 months old. Crazy! She noticed the sticker on her shirt this time. From here on out, it might be interesting taking the monthly photos.
