Make Your Costume Easier to Recreate

One of my favorite Halloween tricks is to build your costume around pieces you can actually wear again.

Instead of spending a ton of money on a costume you’ll wear once, start with regular clothing and add a few recognizable accessories.

A plaid skirt can become Cher.

A yellow raincoat becomes Coraline.

An orange sweater becomes Velma.

A cowboy hat transforms a simple denim outfit into a cowgirl costume.

And fairy wings can turn a dress you already own into an entire Halloween look.
