Ah... All Hallow's Eve is upon us once again. Good ol' Hallowe'en. Being bored once
again, I was recently searching the web for some costume ideas, and found some
great ones I thought I'd share with all of you!
GHOST - You'd think that a ghost would like to dress up a bit to
go out in public, wouldn't you? Use a plain white sheet, and cut a small slit
for the mouth, two holes for the eyes. Girls, add some dressy stuff -- eye
shadow
and eyelashes (maybe even 'falsies') around the eyes, bright red lipstick around
the mouth, maybe a fake pearl necklace and some earrings attached to sheet. If
you're really creative, use a big, old fashioned purse as a treat bag. Boys,
just get classy. A top hat would be really cool (even punch out the top? After
all, you *are* old and dead). If you can get your hands on one, try to wear a
monocle!
OLD MAN - Wear oversized pants with a big belt, and a dress shirt
tucked in. Get a walking cane, dust some white powder in your hair, and practice
that hunched-over walk!
OLD WOMAN - An old style dress (from a thrifty store, like Dots or
Off-Broadway), just below the knee. Try some knee-high's that are a little to
big so they fall down a little. Get a big black purse, some old-fashioned shoes,
a curly white wig, and you're set!
50's GIRL - I dressed up like one last Halloween, it was really
cute! Wear a button-up white blouse tucked into a big, round black skirt (like a
poodle skirt). If you want to be a "Pink Lady" from the movie Grease, just add a
pink wind-breaker jacket. If you have long hair, put it back in a predictably
plain ponytail. If you have short hair, comb it straight back so it's nice and
puffy, and put it in a colorful plastic headband. Now, for the piece de
resistance -- the chiffon scarf, tied around your neck. It adds the finishing
touch.
MOTHER NATURE - Decorate and old vest and skirt (forest green
works very well) with silk leaves (from a craft store), in no particular
pattern. Also decorate the skirt with real or fake flowers, "growing" out of the
leaves. Gather some twigs together, and secure them together with a wire to look
like a nest and glue them to some part of your costume (I think the shoulder
would be cool).
Hope you liked my costume ideas! For more, check out
