Whether you are a woman who is planning on going to an adult-themed party, children's event or you're planning on hanging out with friends, it is possible to save money and still have a fabulous costume this Halloween.
Save Money by Buying Only the Accessories
- If you're planning on being a cat for Halloween, purchase cat ears and a tail at stores such as Walmart, Target or Walgreens. Dress in all black by pairing clothes you currently wear, like a black shirt with black trousers. Add some trendy black boots for some extra pizazz.
- For those planning on going as angels, it's easy to keep it simple if you already own a white dress. All you have to do is purchase the halo and wings which are also usually sold separately at most stores.
- Another great option is to be a witch. You can usually find a witch hat by itself, either in the store or online. Pair it with a simple black dress, grab the broom you already own, and you're ready to go!
- Fairies are also very popular costumes. All you need to purchase are wings and a wand. Wear a sundress or a spaghetti strap dress as the rest of your costume. Finally, accessorize by wearing a sparkly headband or putting some pretty silk flowers in your hair.
Make a Costume Based on What You Already Have
- If you already own cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, then you could easily be a cowgirl. It's cute, fun and really easy. A button-down blouse tied into a knot paired with jeans or a jean skirt could function as your costume. Tie a cute bandana around your neck if you have one. Finally, put your hair in pigtails or braids. If you don't have cowboy boots, regular boots will do. You don't have to have all of the items mentioned above to complete the look. For instance, you'll still look like a cowgirl if you own a cowboy hat and jeans.
- Another idea is to be a character from the hit show, Mad Men. Do you own a modest floral or sheath dress? Pair it with pearls and closed-toe heels. Next, flip you hair out, and add red lips and retro sunglasses.
Borrow Items from Other People
- Do you know someone who has a tiara? If so, ask her if you can borrow it for the night. An evening gown or cocktail dress would complete the look as a princess or pageant queen for Halloween.
- Another option is to be a cheerleader or a band member if you know someone whose outfit you can borrow.
No matter what your plans are this Halloween, you can still have the costume everyone envies without breaking the bank.
