Everyone’s favorite holiday is right around the corner…Halloweekend! This legendary weekend is quickly approaching and we know that one of the hardest decisions to make is what your costume will be. So, we’ve got you covered! Sometimes it can break the bank a little too much to order a fancy 5-piece costume online – we’re college students too, we totally get it!
One way to save money is to use clothes from your closet (and your roomie’s) to create costumes! Any piece of black clothing can basically be a costume; from cats to vampires, and witches to skeletons! Grab a pair of cute booties and now all you need is some dark, gothic makeup to really make your costume stand out! Makeup is such a great way to take your costume from drab to fab without breaking the bank. Plus, you can reuse any of these makeup products until they run out, whereas you can’t really wear your costume all year long.
