It's about to be September and so for my fellow lovers of Halloween that means it is time to start planning your costume! It's true we are all already grade A zombies but I have come up with some alternatives for this year. All of which can easily be achieved with awesome vintage finds instead of lame store bought versions or the tedious hand-made route. When you make your costume up out of vintage clothes even typical costumes can be much more awesome. So, I will start with some classics.
With a little
pinafore this would be the perfect Alice dress.
Hello, Dorothy! All you need is a
basket oh, and a little
dog too!
Getting a little more creative... how about Nancy Drew? This one is fun because you get come up with your own preppy 60's outfit (collared shirts/dresses, plaid, little sweaters, socks) instead of looking for specific pieces. Plus, you get do a
1960's hair-do! Then add some oxfords, a
magnifying glass, a
flashlight and notebook and you are ready to pester everyone at the party with investigative questions!
Grab yourself a vintage tennis dress and voila- Margot Tenenbaum! Then you'll need a wig or a haircut, a barrette, some eyeliner, a
fur coat and a wooden finger.
Speaking of vintage tennis dresses, why not get really literary and go as Jordan Baker from the Great Gatsby? Add short hair, thin eyebrows, a vintage
tennis racket and a haughty/bored attitude.
Stay tuned for more Halloween costume ideas!
