DIY Halloween Costume Series - B. Rex

Pardon me while I fantasize with this one. If you don't know me, well, I love T. Rex (Marc Bolan) and I had a top hat so it was a perfect match. If only my top hat was larger.

Supplies:

Top Hat (essential), jacket, graphic tee, black eyeliner

 

DIY Halloween Costume Series - Bride of Frankenstein

This is more of a modern version of the Bride of Frankenstein. Instead of using a sheet I wanted to use something more fashionable for lack of a better term so I picked up this lacy round tablecloth. All I had to do was cut a hole in the middle of it. I went for a bit of a poncho look but instead it just added twenty pounds. Oh well. I had fun. My favorite part were the tights. I picked them up at Walmart but they lasted all but two seconds. If they had been a little thicker I would have kept them and worn them year round. I had a pretty hard crush on these tights. The messy beehive was fun to do too. I really liked it and will have to try this for another day. There's a lot of would-haves in this paragraph because I was strapped for time putting it together, which was a bit of a bummer. I had to hurry and get it all done and take pictures before dropping Tyrone off for work.

I do love it though and I still haven't decided if this is what I'm actually going to be on Halloween.

Do you know what you're going to be yet? Let me know I would love to hear.

Supplies:

round lace tablecloth, skeleton tights (or a bright color pair of tights), white skirt, long sleeve shirt (mine was gray but you can't see it very well), black belt, flats or some killer heels would look good too, contrasting color hair piece (if you've seen the MS version they used white yarn for the strip in her hair),

DIY Halloween Costume Series - the Germaphobe

If you can't tell by this post I've pretty much lost my mind. I'm STILL freaking sick and hating every second of it. But being sick got me thinking and so I was born this idea. I also know some people, whom I love making fun of, are hug germaphobes or even clean freaks if you will.

Gather supplies:

Put it all together any way you want. I left my hair unkept and ratty so I looked a little crazy (and NO that didn't take much effort at all.)

DIY Halloween Costume Series - Granny Bowler

Presenting Granny Bowler; she's down with dinners at 4:00PM, Metamucil cocktails, lying to her grandkids and spending her children's inheritance. What most don't know about Granny Bowler is the way she can shake her groove thing with out even moving her feet. 

Gather supplies, bowler shirt, wig, glasses and a bowling ball (not pictured).

My favorite part about this costume is the vintage Gloria Vanderbilt glasses I found. 

Granny Bowler is a spunky one.
