I was going to write a whole new Halloween Outfits ideas post.
And I still might, there’s still 2 weeks to go. However, it occurred to me that since I started this blog I’ve shared quite a few Halloween costume ideas, lots of them requiring very little effort and you might not have seen some of them, or any of them! I have therefore decided to round them up in one place.
All the way back in 2008, when my blog was a mere 6 months old, on Halloween itself I showed you a boring black dress and a few accessories from the local supermarket or joke shop meant it was never too late to go to the (Halloween) Ball
In 2009, I produced 4 suggestions for very lazy last minute Halloween Outfits from your wardrobe. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, A Werewolf, The Blair Witch Project and a Burglar. (Werewolf doesn’t need a photo, unless it’s a full moon they look like everyone else….)
Also in 2009 I showed you some Halloween costumes that don’t involve drenching youself in fake blood and stringing yourself with eyeballs. A Stepford Wife, Judy Jetson and a Spy.
2011 was a costume free year for me, but in 2010 I pranced around in 3 more Halloween outfits cobbled together from my wardrobe. An Anti Vampire Protestor (a la True Blood), A Cat Lady, and The Absinthe Fairy.
In 2011 my final costume was Medusa, inspired by Madame Yevonds Goddess Portraits.
I am still seeking out the accessories for this years Halloween outfit, but you’ll see it soon enough!
What’s your favourite all time Halloween outfit been? Do you have pictures?!
Send them to me before 29th October and we’ll have a virtual Halloween party.
You can email them with your name and a link to a blog/twitter etc to hello@retrochick.co.uk , upload them to my Facebook page, or leave a link in the comments!
There’ll be a prize for my favourite costume, I haven’t decided what yet, but I expect it’ll be fabulous and not tat at all. (It’ll probably be tat, Halloween tat, I really love tat)
