7 Halloween Costumes You Can Wear Again in Real Life
For a woman whose favorite holiday is Halloween, I am dreadfully unoriginal when it comes to costumes. I have been the same thing year after year for the entire span of my adult life: Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch. I blame the dress—a vintage, silk number I dug out of my mom’s old collection of resort season clothes back in high school. The dress ranks among all-time favorite things I’ve ever worn—so if I have to risk being a repeat-costume offender to get regular use out of it, so be it. This season, it’s time to up the ante a bit. Good riddance to the tarty (insert any occupation/animal/fruit here”) get ups or the polyester bastardizations of Daenerys Targaryen’s badass Game of Thrones outfits already hanging in the windows of every Halloween shop within a ten-mile radius. Spending your Halloween fund on long-term wardrobe pieces (both splurges and steals) is totally doable if you strategize your costume right. Try one of these fashion-inspired costumes—all created with items you can wear again—and your look will be a hit on All Hallows’ Eve and beyond. Check out the original article on Allure.
