I really love Halloween, mostly because it gives me an excuse to dress up and go to costume parties and see everyone else’s amazing creativity when it comes to dressing up. I’ve never been the most creative when it comes to my Halloween costumes, I’ve had years of Risky Business, Flash Dance, and various Disney characters. but this year I’ll be in Charleston with a couple of friends and we’re going on a river cruise. I felt like the occasion warranted a little bit more effort on my part so the last couple of days I’ve been trying to come up with some awesome, but easy DIY Halloween costume ideas!
Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby
Flapper costumes are so easy and always look gorgeous, I love the idea of a beaded white or ivory dress instead of the traditional black flapper dress! These costumes are so fun because you can deck out in seriously fun 1920’s costume jewelry!

Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s
This is definitely one of my favorite Halloween costume ideas, I think it would also be so cute with a DIY black tutu and tank top instead of a LBD! You can also grab a vintage cigarette holder to help complete the look, add some big sparkly earrings and of course oversized sunnies!
Tiara: Similar Necklace: Similar Gloves: Similar Dress: Etsy
Mary Poppins
Another one that would be cute with a tutu! You can also pick up some great hats on Etsy and add white gloves!
Shirt: Similar Skirt: Similar Belt: Kate Spade Bow Tie: Zara Umbrella: Overstock
I love that a lot of these pieces I already have, it’s just a matter of getting the right accessories to turn regular every day clothes into a Halloween costume.
How do you celebrate Halloween? Are you dressing up, if so what’s are your favorite Halloween costume ideas?
