A Modern Spin on Halloween Classics

Halloween is just around the corner, and all I can think about is what I am going to dress up as!! I have never been a fan of those some-what provocative costumes sold online as they are too expensive, a bit revealing, a little cheesy, and I know I will NEVER have a reason to wear it again.

That being said, when this time of year rolls around, my creative juices get flowing. Each year I try to put together a costume that is fashionable, yet totally festive for the occasion. If I plan to spend money on a costume, I like to pick pieces that I could possibly incorporate into my day-to-day wardrobe (with maybe a few added extras).

Here are three Halloween looks that I am debating on wearing this year, which one is your favorite? 

 

fashion witch costume

  • Get the Witchy Look: 
  • + Sister Jane pleated black lace dress found here (the sleeves are oh-so-witchy)!
  • + Zara black patent and suede zip ankle boots found here
  • + Triple cross bib necklace found here.
  • + Sheer black tights found here.
  • + Julep’s Caroline dark red polish is the perfect color for any witch!
  • + Lastly, head to your local Halloween store and grab yourself a witches hat… if you like!

fashion pumpkin costume

  • Get the Pretty Pumpkin Look: 
  • + Peter Pan cotton orange dress found here (for some reason this reminds me so much of a cute pumpkin).
  • + Aimee green studded platform lace up boots found here.
  • + Black thigh high socks found here.
  • + Dimpled gold bangle set found here.
  • + Oak leaf headband found here (the most adorable topper for this look).

fashion skeleton costume

  • + Skeleton print pull over sweatshirt found here.
