How to be classy during the Halloween festivities!
Darlings, hello and happy early All Hallows Eve! I know most of you probably have your costumes already, but I wanted to share a few of my fabulous suggestions with you. The trends for female costumes usually involve cheap fabric, lots of skin, and low dignity. Now, if we are going to be flitting around Manhattan with glasses of my delicious Pinot Grigio in our hands, we cannot be dressed as slutty bumblebees or trashy versions of our beloved fairy tale princesses.
Class. It. Up.
Even though it might be tempting to purchase a pre-packaged costume, where is the fun and creativity in that? How embarrassed would you be if someone showed up at a fabulous party wearing your outfit? The same goes for Halloween. Be creative ladies! Piecing together your own costume is so much more exciting and 100% uniquely you! Here are my 3 suggestions for creating your own classy Halloween costume:
Classy Costume 1: Holly Golightly
If you have never seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s, please stop reading my blog. You are not worthy, sorry darling. Audrey Hepburn is an American fashion icon and forever won my heart as Holly Golightly. One would say my personal love of little black dresses was born with my love for Audrey Hepburn. Find these 7 items, wear accordingly and your costume will be complete:
1. Your favorite LBD.
2. Strands and strands and strands…and strands of pearls!
3. A jeweled tiara.
4. High high high heeled black pumps.
5. Opera length black gloves.
6. A beautiful broach to pin somewhere amidst the pearls.
7. An extra long cigarette holder with fake cigarettes because c’mon, we know better (found in any costume shop).
Classy Costume 2: Mia Wallace
Yes, we know she overdosed on drugs in Pulp Fiction…well yeah…that’s pretty un-classy. But she did it so stylishly, who even noticed? Again, put theses pieces together and you will have a fabulous costume:
1. A black or dark brown short-haired wig with straight cut bangs.
2. A white button down shirt.
3. A black suit jacket with black wide-legged or bell-bottom slacks.
4. A FAKE cigarette.
5. Black pumps.
Classy Costume 3: Be yourself!
It is never boring to dress up and be yourself. Find your favorite cocktail or floor length dress, put on your new high heels, and give yourself a stunning red lip. Who needs costumes when we are clearly already so fabulous as ourselves? And darlings, who needs an excuse to look fabulous? Not. Me.
What are some of your costume ideas!? Share them with me and your sisters here at Middle Sister Wines! Ciao darlings and have a classy and fun All Hallows Eve :-)
High heels and high spirits,
Marise - Halloween Drama Queen
