Even though I know Halloween comes every year, I always find myself scrambling around at the last minute with my husband in search of costume ideas. Of course, we can never find exactly what we want, but somehow it always works out. Our
best costume to date was made from poster board and Sharpie markers, 30 minutes before our party.
If you're in a pinch for a Halloween costume this weekend,
ModCloth has some
great ideas using everyday clothing from their shop. A few of my favorites...
I love how simple and creative these are, especially Elizabeth Bennet's
Regency-style dress (or perhaps that's the Austen lover in me coming out.) You may have similar pieces in your wardrobe, and the accessories can easily be made at home. Hello, cotton ball beard and construction paper arrow. Easy peasy.
Just please, please don't wear a tube dress with any form of wings. Go read Joy the Baker's hilarious post,
Don't be a Sexy Panda, and remember that fishnets are not acceptable pants. It's October and it's cold out.
Now to work on my costume with Christopher, which involves a mustache, a 70s style velveteen blazer, and the sound of silence. Oh yes.
