Halloween Costume Ideas

This is the first in a series of Halloween posts I'll be doing. This post is about costume ideas. There's a lot of good costumes sold on Etsy if you just search "halloween costumes" or "costumes" in the Search bar. I think with Halloween costumes, you can be creative with clothes you already have to create costumes. Here's some ideas I have:

I think leggings are perfect for Halloween. These leggings with animal themes - leopard, spider and peacock - can easily be part of a costume and they're not too expensive to buy if you don't have them:







For example, for a spider costume, you can just add a black dress to spider leggings. For a leopard costume, all you have to do is add a leopard print shirt or dress and some leopard ears or a leopard headband.

Head pieces can really make the costume. I like these leopard ears clips from Bronze Papillon and this zebra headband from Bella Headbands:





Old dresses are really good for costumes especially with the right accessories, hair and makeup. You could just add fairy wings to a dress to be a fairy or a crown to be a princess or prom queen. You could also be Disney princesses. For example, a yellow dress would be perfect to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast and a light blue dress would be good for Cinderella.





Check back soon for makeup and nail ideas. Do you dress up for Halloween? If so, what are you going to be this year?
