Hello! I know Halloween is now over but I wanted to do this post anyways to give some of you tips/inspirations for your costume next year! I decided this year that I wasn't going to spend a lot of $$$ for a one time wear costume so I figure to save I will put together my own costume and be a little creative. I have two costumes, for the weekend before Halloween I went to a ball and dressed up as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, her character was Holly Golightly, a outgoing and classy girl who was afraid of commitments. She always have on a tiara and pearls and a little black dress, so to recreate her look I found a black dress from Ross for only $8, order a mini tiara from ebay for $2, and bought a pearl necklace from Forever 21 for another $8, gloves and shoes were already in my closet so I didn't have to look far for them. For the hair, Holly always had a french twist updo and pixie bangs. I had longer bangs but I just curl it with a straightener and put my hair up in a bun. For the make up, she really have a natural look going on, the emphasis is on the eyes, lots of lashes and nice defined eyebrows. Oh and I couldn't forget the infamous cigarette holder that she always had with her too, I bought mines from amazon for only $2. So for the entire outfit it cost me about $20-25, and guess what I can wear them all again even after Halloween, just not together of course.
For the second costume I put together quickly on the actual Halloween night I dressed up as a Geisha, a Japanese beauty. To recreate this look I found a Kimono like shirt from H&M long ago for $10, tied it around the waist to create the Kimono effect and wore leggings under. I painted my face with white powder, drew in my eyebrows darker and longer and create small lips with red liner and lipstick. I gather all my hair up into another bun, added flowers from dollar tree and tada! Geisha for the night. Oh and the fan was also purchase on ebay for $1, all for only $10-15! I love being creative and saving money at the same time, it's fun, I got to take a lot of pictures for memories and be someone else for the night. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I can't wait for next year, I already have a costume in mind and it can be found in my closet as well! Hope you all had a fun, creative Halloween!
Be creative! I have my Asian genes to thank in order to really look the Geisha part.
