This may seem like a lot of time, but I can assure you right now it is not very much time at all when it comes to the kind of costume changes I like to make over the halloween weekend. I need to start planning asap!
Here are some ideas I have been scoping out... Maybe they will workout and maybe not, depending on what I can find.
1- Trashy, in a fun way.
Inspiration: Dolly Pardon, Amy Winehouse, Kat Von D, etc
The look: BIG hair, lots of makeup- red lips, blue eye shadow, fishnets for sure, some sort of shoulder pads/big jacket, short skirt, fringe?
Easy factor: Very easy
2- Lady Butcher
Inspiration: Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd
The look: Victorian, big dress but not fancy, "milk maid hair", knives &/or rolling pins, apron, homely makeup
Easy factor: Fairly easy
3- Queen of Hearts
Inspiration: Alice in Wonderland
The look: Big fancy dress, black crown, heart staff, pink flamingos, striped tights, fancy shoes, pretty makeup, curly (ringlet) hair
Easy factor: Depends on if I want to buy the costume or make it.
4- Seven deadly sins (obviously a group effort)
Inspiration: Evilness
The look: depends on which sin. I had thought about Wrath before and I would want to wear tight pants, loose shirt, tons of jewelry (Mr T-ish) tough/punk look. Smokey eyes and pale makeup
Easy factor: Easy if everybody cooperated
5- Super hero
Inspiration: Comic books
The look: Tight outfit that shows off all curves. Bad ass weapon like a gun, knife, nunchucks, etc. boots of some sort, mask &/or cape. Black
Easy factor: Depending on if I want to be a specific hero and also if the costume is available to buy.
More inspiraton to come.
I really like the super hero idea. We definitely need to do that one for at least one of the parties we go to.
