Do you ever feel like dressing up for Halloween isn’t your thing? Like you’re a grown ass woman and you shouldn’t be wearing fairy wings to work? Well, sister, I have to say that our connection is starting to disconnect. I love Halloween! I wish I could wear fairy wings to work every day without being written up for wearing ‘inappropriate work attire’ or my boss (Brandon) saying ‘You can’t just wear a tiara to work because you’re my wife’.

What are you Going to Be Last Minute Lady?
All of these costumes are super easy to put together. You should have most of these items in your closet, or your sisters or husbands closet. A few small things you might need to print from your computer or pull out of your DIY box. Many of these costumes, like the Scarecrow, look amazing if you go all out on the makeup! I think that makeup is what can make or break your costume. It can turn a girl in old flannels into that creepy scarecrow that haunts the cornfield.
