Playing Dress Up

Every year, Halloween seems to sneak up on me. Gone are the days when I would spend hours pouring over the pattern books at the fabric store and asking my mom to make the most elaborate costume I could find. Now, I feel like I have three options.

1. Buy an incredibly  expensive, pre-made costume that I will only wear once, ever (No thanks). 

2. Come up with something using things I already have.

3. Find things I know I could wear again and justify spending the money because, "Oh this, would also make a great New Year's Eve dress" etc. etc. 

I like options two and three the most. So here are a couple costume ideas using things you might already own or can justify buying, because trust me, you'll wear them again.
