Can I pick your brains for costume ideas again this year?

[Rhayne]

Last year I asked for help for halloween costume ideas and I got some great ideas. Here I am asking again. I don't want to cut or ruin anything though. I'm going to go out to buy accessories this year but I deffinately don't want to fork over big bucks for a whole costume. Here is a list of items I have. Thanks everyone!

5 tank tops (black, red, white, pink and blueish/green)
2 jean skirts (1 short and one knee length)
1 knee length brown skirt
2 ankle length skirts (1 is black/white and one is black/purple/white)
3 long sleeve shirts (black, white and brown)
3 cardigans (white, pink, hunter green)
jeans and capris (several of each)
1 pair brown dress pants
1 pair dark grey dress pants
1 pair black dress pants
1 pair stretchy bootcut grey pants
lots of tshirts (black and white mostly)
black knee length dress with long sleeves
2 peasant tops (green and orangish pink)
6 pairs PJ pants
- white with purple butterflys
- purple fuzzy with white flowers
- pink fuzzy
- silky turquoise with yellow flowers
- purple sweatpants
- black running pants with adidas stripes down the sides)

I'd do the black dress - layered with a peasant top-- add a bunch of scarves over a belt. . . lots of long necklaces, and bangle bracelets. . . and a scarf over your hair. . . and become a gypsy.

Okay... no ruining... a wide baste stitch or even safety pins...

long sleeve shirt and either running pants or stretchy pants...

a boa and cat ears from the dollar store and Tadah

How about the green peasant shirt with the brown skirt, a flower wreath in your hair, boots if you have them, some chunky jewelry and go as a "wench"? I love that word "wench"...makes me giggle every time I hear it...

Brown or grey pants and a matching top, and you can be some kind of animal pretty easily with face paint or ears and whiskers from the Halloween store.

black t-shirt (the bigger the better), capris, purple hair spray, some rub on tattoos, and a nose ring, and go as a rock groupie.

Go down to the thrift store and look for stuff.
