Ideas for Easy Costumes with Normal Clothes (Pt. 1)

These easy costume ideas are a way for you to connect your inner kid to your adult budget (& love of fashion!). While dressing up for Halloween or other parties is fun, buying a costume every.single.year isn’t so much. The average Halloween costume amounts to about $30USD. If you get a new costume (that you wear only one time) every year for ten years, you’ll be throwing away $300! That’s $300 you could spend on new wardrobe pieces or paint for that newly renovated living room you’ve been wanting for so long.

Why not use a bunch of normal clothes to concoct an easy, show-stopping adult costume? If you don’t already have some of the main clothing pieces, what better excuse do you need to go shopping for clothes you can wear over and over again!? If you don’t have a few of the other pieces, they’re often cheaper to acquire than a full costume, and are so easy to use in costumes for years to come! Here are a few ideas for you to work off of!
