Halloween!!

In the mood to do something fun for Halloween? Are you a child of the '80s? I am, so in 2007, I was Rainbow Brite ...I bought a pre-packaged costume and added my own little touches here and there - but you can recreate the entire look using elements you might use again (like the dress and shoes).

Halloween!!

Last year, I got inspiration for my Halloween costume from one of my favorite TV shows, True Blood.

I created a Sookie Stackhouse costume (minus the blonde wig because I had tried wearing a blonde wig a few year's back when I was Veronica Corningstone from Anchorman - although the costume won an award - the wig was not flattering!)

Halloween!!

I love Halloween. It's so much fun to come up with costume ideas and find all the pieces to make an amazing ensemble. I just finished purchasing all the pieces for my Halloween costume this year. And, I think it's going to look great!

I figured for my next few posts I would recreate some of my favorite Halloween costumes. Hopefully, this will help you get your creative juices flowing.

Halloween 2008


Inspiration


This is one of my favorite Halloween costumes! When I saw this feature in TV Guide - with the girls from The Hills dressed in football outfits - I knew that's exactly what I wanted to look like for Halloween. I think I succeeded!

My favorite part of the costume: My personalized jersey. My last name donned the back of the jersey and my favorite number 12 was on the front.

Bachelorette Parties

Tomorrow, I will be attending my future sister-in-laws bachelorette party in Atlantic City. Each attendee must wear an item that features a leopard print. At first, I figured I would just buy a pair of leopard shoes (since I don't necessarily think I look good in animal prints). But, I ended up finding a tiered leopard print dress and purchasing it. Below is a similar look to what I plan on wearing (a dress, my brown leather jacket, black shoes and black handbag ...plus gold jewelry).

Here are some more bargain leopard items for those of you who want to release your inner animal:
