DIY halloween costumes

Why purchase a costume you'll wear just once when you can repurpose your closet staples for Halloween? Putting together a last minute costume is easy with items you already own. Create your own costume from inspiration based on your favorite TV shows and movie characters. Snag a costume that is versatile for a girl’s night out and a Halloween party. Plus, they're so simple to put together!

 

Grease

"Tell me about it, Stud." Marketing Assistant, Haley, put together a Grease inspired outfit for our favorite movie musical leading lady. Just the Beginning Leather Leggings, Admire from Afar Black Bodysuit, and the Tonya Black Booties give us all the "Greased Lightning" vibes. Finish off the looks with some gold hoops earrings like our Crash Into Love Earrings.

Black Widow

This is your chance to be an Avenger! Grab a pair of black jeans like the Marisol or Brittany's and a sleek black top. Black boots like the Deena Black Leather Platform Booties accent the edgy look. Don't forget a jacket or vest to complete the look. As Yelena would say, "It has a lot of pockets, but I use them all the time!" The new, Late Nights Black Suede Moto Jacket is perfect!

 

Mean Girls
