Spirit of Halloween Costume

?>

My favorite part of Halloween has always been dressing up.

All October posts are part of the Countdown to Halloween!

As a girl, I created my own costumes or re-wore my dance recital costumes for Halloween night. As an adult, I’ve created costumes based on my party themes.

But since I didn’t host a big party this year, I didn’t have the chance to create a Halloween costume.

Until I remembered: I have a Halloween blog – I can create one for a blog post!

I knew I wanted it to be Halloween-centric, and after getting inspired by a bit of spooky artwork I decided on an abstract idea: Spirit of Halloween.

Here’s what I came up with…

 

Spirit of Halloween Costume

 

 

As a year-round Halloween blogger, I often think about what it means to embody October 31st all year long…and what that would look like.

 

 

A crown, a cape, a jack-o-lantern and a few Halloween props are what came to mind. Luckily, I have all the above!

 

 

I made the crown using a black wreath from the dollar section at Target. Then I added a few floral items from Michaels and a string of battery-operated lights from Target.

 

 

I love how it turned out!

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, the Spirit of Halloween needs a friendly jack-o-lantern.

 

 

 

 

And maybe a skull or two…

 

 

To be Halloween year-round or not…that is the question!

 

 

A Halloween lantern to light the way to Halloweentown…

 

 

A killer cape! (Made by my mom more than a decade ago. I love that I still get good use out of it!)

 

 

And don’t forget a gorgeous black dress and booties.

 

 

 

 

 

Just sitting around, waiting for Halloween…

 

 

 

What are you going to be this Halloween?

Share your costume in the comments! Or, better yet, share your photo with me on social media. Tag me on Instagram, Tweet me (@spkyhalloween) or drop your photo on my Facebook page. I love seeing the creative things you guys come up with!

 

Happy Halloween,

    Happiest of Halloweens Miranda! I am blown away by the creativity of your costume! Definitely going to have to give it a try next year.

    This year I’ll have three costumes: Hostess-with-the-mostest for my casino heist party, a fairy godmother for my sister’s Halloween baby shower, and today at work I am Dr. Frankenstein’s secretary!

    Here’s to another spooky year my dear!
