All October posts are part of the Countdown to Halloween!
My favorite part of Halloween has always been dressing up. As a girl, I created my own costumes or re-wore my dance recital costumes for Halloween night.
As an adult, I've created costumes based on my party themes.
But since I didn't host a big party this year, I didn't have the chance to create a Halloween costume.
Until I remembered: I have a Halloween blog - I can create one for a blog post!I knew I wanted it to be Halloween-centric, and after getting inspired by a bit of spooky artwork I decided on an abstract idea: Spirit of Halloween.
Here's what I came up with...
Spirit of Halloween Costume
As a year-round Halloween blogger, I often think about what it means to embody October 31st all year long...and what that would look like.
A crown, a cape, a jack-o-lantern and a few Halloween props are what came to mind. Luckily, I have all the above!
I made the crown using a black wreath from the dollar section at Target. Then I added a few floral items from Michaels and a string of battery-operated lights from Target.
I love how it turned out!
Of course, the Spirit of Halloween needs a friendly jack-o-lantern.
And maybe a skull or two...
To be Halloween year-round or not...that is the question!
A Halloween lantern to light the way to Halloweentown...
A killer cape! (Made by my mom more than a decade ago. I love that I still get good use out of it!)
And don't forget a gorgeous black dress and booties.
Just sitting around, waiting for Halloween...
