Last Minute Looks: Halloween

While Erin is hot glue gunning and crafting her life away in our room, I'm "that girl" who's rummaging through my (and my floormate's) closet searching for pieces to incorporate into my Halloween costumes for the weekend. I really have no better word to label my costume creativity other than "lazy". While I brainstorm costumes for myself, I thought I would put together some simple Halloween costumes that can be easily made with clothing pieces that already own.

For an easy superhero outfit, look hard in the back of your closet for those old cat ears and shiny black leggings. Anything tight, black, and leather-like will do for a Catwoman outfit and by adding red lipstick and a mask you won't have to answer the question of: "What are you?"

If you have been a reader of some of older posts, you should know that anything 90's style is an absolute favorite of mine. You can easily channel Cher and Dionne by pairing a matching plaid-on-plaid skirt and blazer with a sheer button down. For the 90's makeup look, keep it simple by swiping on some neutral-pink lipgloss and topping straightened hair with a black beret. If you're wanting to make the outfit look more modern, you can buy a pair of  affordable Mary Jane pumps to compliment your knee highs. And for the finishing touch, perfect your SoCal accent and make your response to those creepy guys: "As If!"

For the last (and easiest) outfit, you probably won't have to go out and buy anything new. You only need jeans, boots, and an army jacket to pull this look off! If you want to go the extra mile you can add some aviators and a dog tag to the outfit for a more distinguishable look. With this outfit being so simple, I think I may take my own advice here!
