Inspired by Cinema | Halloween Costumes Part IV
Hands up if you've got a red sweater and a red skirt in your wardrobe! Perfect! Now grab some standard trim pieces, a black pair of may janes, fluff out your hair, and get ready to terrorize the world with your tantrums! I've always thought the best Halloween costumes are the ones that have really fun characters to match. When I was Mary Poppins, I had a lot of fun singing about spoonfuls of sugar and feeding the birds all night long. I'm sure a healthy dosing of wanting everything "now, Daddy!" would be alright for just one night, eh?
Pssst.... I wouldn't mind wearing these items separately any given day. Costumes are the perfect excuses to pad your wardrobe a little bit. Am I right? ;)

Oh my gosh, I love this one! I would want to wear that everyday though. Why isn't constant costume wearing acceptable?

Great idea! I love costumes that are made up of your every day clothes. It means you have a great wardrobe, right?
