It’s just about that time when you’re knocking yourself on the head because you have no idea what to go as for the Halloween parties you have lined up around the corner. No worries, I got you covered with 5 easy ideas where all you really need is a little black dress. These are also perf for the lazy girls- myself included-who are always last minute but still want to look like they put some thought into their costumes.
This is also a collab with Melissa from melsmakeup88 and TaYa from MsTayaSunaz. Melissa will be sharing a fun witch makeup look and TaYa will share her flapper inspired look.
Hope you enjoy our collab!
Most of us already own a LBD but if you’re looking for something, I love this one and this one which are both under $10 bucks, and just perfect for these little black dress costume ideas!
1. Witch
A witch’s hat can be found floating around at any costume store and even drugstores. I made my own magic wand by spray painting the branch of a tree gold (bronze is a spooktacular choice as well) and as as finishing touch, I put on a necklace for my “amulet” to protect me against the spooks of Halloween. BTW, there are tons of witch hat options here and here.
2. Flapper
Thinking along the lines of Great Gatsby, I wore a headband and gaudy costume jewelry reminiscent of the flashy era- think pearls and diamonds. For extra pizzaz, I used a boa and even took it up a notch with long black gloves (or like these) and a black stick which was my fake cigarette. I have to say that all these accessories definitely jazzed up my LBD.
3. Masquerade
Okay this may seem just like the flapper costume, but really, it’s much simpler because all you need is a mask like this one or this one. I like bold red lips for this look since your eyes are going to be covered for the most part, and you’ll you want to draw attention to your lovely lips.
4. Beanie Baby
Remember those little fur baby animals you wanted to hoard when you were little? Well, this is a cute and easy Halloween option. I personally find that a kitty cat is the easiest animal to go as because all you need are cat ears like these or these, and a black eyeliner for your whiskers. An optional touch is black gloves for paws.
For the tag, I printed this picture of the beanie baby “ty tag” and then wrote in little things about myself. Punch a hole and use a ribbon to fasten it around your neck.
5. Leopard
Another super easy Halloween costume look since all you need are leopard ears and a bit of makeup. And trust me, if I can make something with somewhat a semblance to leopard spots, so can you cause I got ZERO makeup skills.
Let me know which was your fave look out of these 5!
