October means all things Halloween and if you like going out for Halloween or Halloweekend, you might not want to wear the same costume multiple nights in a row. But you also probably don’t want to spend a fortune for just one weekend. Here’s some ways you can create multiple costumes from the same costume pieces!

 

Mermaid leggings: The Little Mermaid & Aquaman
