How To: Create A Killer Halloween Costume With Accessories

Some of us tend to underestimate the undeniable power of strong accessorizing. When used the right way, accessories can turn simple outfits into amazingly stylish ensembles. So why not apply the same idea to Halloween? Most of us spend months stressing out about what to wear on this night, not to mention TONS of money. All to end up asking ourselves, “Will people get my costume?”, “Am I TOO revealing?”, “Am I overdressed?”, and everything inbetween.

It’s amazing what accessories and a little creativity can do for a girl. Plus, making your own costume gives you the chance to wear that sexy dress sitting in the back of your closet that you haven’t had the opportunity to wear yet. We are here to help our Poshies save that cash for Halloween drinks instead of spending it all on costumes that are never looked at again with our list of creative costumes.

The Plastics item20.rendition.slideshowVertical.hm-halloween-celebs-36

Um, hello? “You can’t sit with us.” Only the most popular phrase of 2014. Pay homage to the classic amazingness that is Mean Girls by being ‘The Plastics’ with your three best friends this Halloween. We promise that everyone at the party you’re attending will appreciate your bitchface. And the best part about this is that all you have to do is shop your closet for your clothes from the early 2000’s. We’re all guilty of still having a flippy miniskirt and pink Juicy sweater. Match with a pair of colorful pumps and a professional blowout. To accessorize, put this ‘Burn Book’ sticker on any pink notebook you can find and viola! You’re a mean girl. So fetch!
