1. Frightening footwear.
If you’re going to be standing around a bubbling cauldron of PSL all day, a basic witch needs a comfortable pair of shoes. Try these velvet ones from Zappos for a trendy spin on classic Chucks.
2. Terrifying tights.
Show off those spellbinding legs! Sure, your go-to pair of opaque black hose will do—but why not try out something new, like these lacy ones from Target?
3. A spooky shirt.
Go all in: billowing sleeves, black lace, and a high neck mean this lacy top from Kohl’s will charm everyone you meet.
4. Spine-chilling specs.
No basic witch’s outfit is complete without a pop of orange against all that black– Halloween is the reason for the season, after all! Try this poppy pair from Anthropologie and reading your potions book will be so much easier.
5. Devilishly dark lipstick.
When the weather gets chilly, nothing frames your enchanting smile better than a dark purple lip. This shade from MAC, “Smoked Purple,” is ghoulishly good.
6. A hexing hat.
Let’s face it: only Elphaba can pull off the traditional pointy witch hat these days. Instead, here’s a soft velvet cap from Forever 21. You may look like a black cat, but everyone will want you to cross their path!
7. A macabre mug.
When October comes, that glittery Starbucks tumbler just won’t cut it. You need something with a little bit more bewitching– and this Williams-Sonoma mug is anything but bare-bones!
8. Eerie earrings.
Trust me: this pair of gold studs from Zappos will look great with your broom.
9. A frightful frock.
Wave that magic wand all you want– there’s nothing more enchanting than a black lace dress. This pretty number from Anthropologie is positively hypnotizing.
10. A nefarious notebook.
A witch needs somewhere to write down her recipes– otherwise, how will you remember whether to put the wool of bat or the tongue of dog in the cauldron first? This gorgeous leather journal from Barnes and Noble is the perfect place to keep all your supernatural secrets.
