Start with the Basics

Most Halloween Costumes can be started with a simple leotard and a pair of stockings or tights in the right color. A few little accessories, either purchased or handmade, and some makeup and you have the perfect costume. For instance, a grey leotard/stocking combo could be easily made into a mouse, rat, squirrel or elephant depending on the tail, ears and makeup. Black could be the start of a cat or dog and green could be easily turned into a fairy or Robin Hood.

Other color combination’s could be used to create a clown, a pirate, or if you are really wanting to go the easy route, a gymnast. Add a few fake medals and you can be an Olympic gymnast.

Shop in Your Closet, Attic or Basement

• We all have clothes that we are mortified that we ever wore and can’t imagine why we still have. For once, this is a good thing.
• Look through these relics of your painful past and see what you find that can be turned into Halloween can wear.
• Still able to shimmy into those bell bottom pants? Add a vest and some beads and go as a hippie.
• Find the old uniform you used to wear? Go military.
• Go to the closet and dig way in the back- you know where all of the bridesmaid dresses lurk and start yanking those treasures out. The uglier you thought that they were when you were dragged down the aisle in them, the better they will be for Halloween. You know the magenta, sparkle sequined atrocity that your cousin had you wear? That would be perfect to wear as a lounge singer. The dress gets a second wearing and hey, if during the evening something horrible happens to it, you will have a perfect excuse to toss it out. Finally!
