Sooo Halloween’s almost here and your wondering what your’e going to wear. Costume ideas are swimming and clashing around in your head like goldfish in a bag. Well Here are a few cute costume ideas that wont put a hole in your bedazzled wallet.
Mrs. Claus
Tis’ The Season! Well not exactly. Though it isn’t time for the holidays just yet, dressing as the wife to St. Nick is quite easy and affordable. Likely already in your closet is a red dress and black belt. Accompany that with some tights, and black or red shoes. Don’t forget to pick up some glasses, & a red santa hat for only $2.69 at Kmart.com and you can begin to practice your “Ho, Ho, Ho”.
Bat Woman
All black everything is the key to pulling off this seductive costume. Put on your most form fitting leggings, boots, tank-top, and belt. Bright yellow accessories add to the look and a black eye mask seals the deal. If you can’t find any of these things in the closet, don’t fret! JCpenny’s & Macy’s have a nice selection on dark colored garments and bright accessories. For Under $10, Amazon.com is the go to spot for all different designs of eye masks.
Marge Simpson
Now on air for its 26th season, The Simpsons is still running strong. Iconic mom, Marge Simpson is easily recognizable and not hard to imitate. First you’ll need some red pearls. Then oh course, a halter top lime green dress, and shiny red shoes. Lastly and most importantly is the blue hair. Shown are options of the curly tall blue beehive wig, or a navy blue hair style. Either is fine depending on the direction your trying to go. UtopiaBase.com has wigs for just $25 and a few more bucks will get you some faux red pearls at Walmart.
