DIY Halloween Costumes

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SMU chapter.

Halloween, one of the most anticipated nights of the year is around the corner! Dressing up is something almost every girl loves to do; however, buying a costume can get quite pricey. Who actually wants to spend a lot on something they’ll wear once? Below are some stylish and affordable costume ideas that are so easy to put together.

 

1.     Queen Bey is literally “it” right now, and what better person to dress up as than her? All you need to do is take a trip to North Park Mall and purchase a bodysuit you love. Jazz your bodysuit up with lace or jewels, add some red lipstick, and embrace that inner diva all us girls have! Work it.

 

2.     Maybe you’re not feeling your inner “Sasha Fierce” and want to do something a little more casual. A “gangster” costume is an easy trade off. A trip into any guy friend’s closet is the only place you need to look. An oversized white t-shirt, baggy jeans with the boxers showing, and a fun pair of sneakers is all it takes. Add “diamond” studs in your ears, chains, a bandana and you’ll be ballin’ out in no time!

 

3.     Another easy and cute costume is a housewife. Throw on a silky bathrobe or better yet, a cute cooking apron! Rock this look with some fun heels and accessories, such as oven mittens or a cookie tray. Curl your hair and load on that makeup, girl!

 

It’s Halloween, anything goes! Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and use your imagination. Don’t waste your money buying something extravagant you’ll never wear again. Be silly, and have fun!
