Halloween from Your Closet

10/20/2014

0 Comments

 
As a costumer I must admit I do enjoy the odd fancy dress party and Halloween costume parties. Creating a look I do not normally wear is exciting and a great creative outlet for me. Yet, sometimes I have no time (like this year) because I'm in the middle of tech weeks, rehearsals, builds, etc. Being able to pull together something from the closet is the next best thing. Here are a few costumes y'all can pull together from your closet and maybe a quick trip to the craft store or convenience store as well. 
PictureMy Halloween costume 2013
1. Rosie the Riveter
What you'll need:
  • chambray shirt
  • jeans
  • belt
  • red bandana
I also created a "We Can Do It" pin to wear out of yellow sheet foam.

2. Mary Poppins
What you'll need:
  • black full skirt
  • white button up blouse
  • red bow tie
  • black boot heels
  • black hat
  • silk /fabric flowers
You may also want a carpet bag and black umbrella. The bag serves a double purpose. You can keep your candy and other necessities in there. 
3. Audrey Hepburn/Breakfast at Tiffany's 
  • black dress
  • black heels
  • sunglasses
  • tiara
You will want to put your hair in a high bun. Long gloves also add to the costume. 

4. Clark Kent (For my gent friends)
  • Superman T
  • white button up
  • suit (jacket and slacks)
  • tie
  • hipster glasses
Slick over your hair and leave the tie untied with the button up unbuttoned. 

Hopefully these give you a few ideas early enough to get your costumes together for your parties and candy gathering. 

Happy Halloween!
