Fortune-teller

This is a fun look for little girls and women alike and most of the garment s you require might be already there in your closet. Wear a loose top with puffy sleeves or a shirt that’s off-shoulder, basically anything that is breezy. Wear a flowing skirt while cinching the waist with a belt and add a waist coat if you desire. Since this is a whimsical look, you can play around with colors. Wear a head scarf to finish the look and if you want to make it more interesting, carry a crystal ball along. For footwear you can either wear boots or embellished sandals. 

Good old Casper

This is one of the easiest and most unique halloween costumes you can make. As kids we enjoyed spooking our parents by wearing a bed sheet over our heads and generating howling and spooky noises. Recreate those moments by dressing up as the traditional ghost. Cover yourself with a long white sheet and mark your eyes with a marker. Now take the sheet of and cut out eye slots and circle the area with black marker to enhance them. This is a cheap and quick costume when you are looking for a last minute idea.

Don your Fear

We all have fears and pet peeves that we try to deal with on a daily basis. What if you wear and flaunt your fears instead of hiding it. It could be anything, maybe fear of spiders or exams or lizards. The costumes would turn out to be extremely creative and innovative since everyone has a different set of fears. Don it to induce laughter among your friends and to stand out in a hoard of boring costumes.
