First off is a costume I think is a classic and one that I see every year, but on a very limited number of people, making it a good choice! That costume is: Wednesday Addams! Start with a long sleeved dress, wear a collared shirt under it, pair with black stocking and combat boots, and top it all off with those famous middle-parted pigtail braids, and you'll be saying that murder is on your mind in no time! *Alternatively, some dresses already come with white collars & cuffs!
A personal favorite costume of mine is one of Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's (go watch it right now). I think it's timeless, classy, and extremely elegant, not to mention easily recognized and cute! If you have a floor length blackdress, use that, but if not, start with a spaghetti / thin strapped black dress. Add long white gloves, a small tiara pushed in your hair, a thick strand of pearls, and almond toes heels. Finish with a big pair of black shades and a thin, long cigarette and you're (movie) gold.
The final costume I have to show you today is a referee! This one is very simple as well, making it a good last minute choice. Start with a body-con or tight dress and simply add a striped (either vertically or horizontally striped, though vertical makes it look more obvious) blazer, a pair of white with black stripes knee socks, comfy white sneakers, and a whistle and you're done. Complete the look with any accessories you think would work well i.e. a hat, penalty cards, and a sports ball.
Which of the LBD looks are your fav? Planning to try any of them out this season? Let me know in the comments below!
For a cute little sailor outfit you can throw together, you need to start with a good base: a fit and flare white dress! Add a blue and white striped cardigan to get the nautical look that you think of when you hear sailor; furthermore, to complete this idea, add red heels / shoes with a bright red lipstick and a cute little anchor pin. Finish the look off with a paper sailor hat from any party store (or, if you want the added benefit of donuts, stop by a local Krispy Kreme and just cover the letter with paper or paint).
For another easy white dress look, think scrumptious and unleash your inner cook! Start with a white dress and white apron, add a comfortable pair of white shoes, and throw in a whisk or other recognizable kitchen utensil. Pop on a paper chef hat and finish the costume off with a pop of any color on the lips to break up the monotone white!
The final look I have to show you is my favorite one... a winter fairy! Start with a detailed and long-sleeved white dress (try a criss-cross detail or lace!) and add some fairy wings from a store or make your own*! Then add some glitter tights* and white, sparkling shoes. Throw in a cute wand and a nice flower crown*, and you're ready to fly!
