DAY TWO.
Autumn yields some of my favorite annual events, and Halloween is at the very top of that list. Usually, I spend quite a bit of time brainstorming ideas for the holiday, but this year I came up mostly dry. When asking around I found that a lot of friends were also stuck with elaborate ideas they either procrastinated on, or fuzzy ideas and time running out.
Despite my horrible organization this month, I was able to scrap together 3 separate looks for the weekend that I cranked out with very minimal planning. This is the "How-to-pull-off-a-costume-last-minute-post". These are my three costumes below- Look 1: Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice, Look 2: ICP Juggalette Fan, and Look 3: Ewok from Star Wars Return of the Jedi
I am a firm believer in either making or re-editing clothing into costume. Nothing kills the mood more than an expensive last minute store bought costume.
Rule 1 to success: Work with what you already own For a couple of my looks, I ended up re-purposing items I already owned. With a little red dye and cheap tulle I was able to transform a white dress I had into Lydia's wedding dress.
Rule 2: Face paint is a cost efficient essential Seriously. A little face paint can make your costume go from a clueless huh? to a slamdunk. Do your research. Use photo reference to inform your look.
Rule 3: If all else fails, thrift, Scrounge, and get cheap Sometimes a little creative energy can cobble together a look. For my ewok costume I bought a cheap oversize brown turtleneck and a furry tube scarf from a thrift store. I used an old work shirt for the cowl, some found rubber bands to scrunch together the ears, and a eucalyptus branch I found on my way to work for my staff. Instant score. Hope these tricks and treats help you guys get ahead next time around.
