Halloween Couture

"Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it"

Famous words uttered by Lindsay Lohan's character in the movie Mean Girls. As soon as we hit about high school, even college, Halloween turns into too much cleavage rather than too much candy. After shopping online and Halloween stores I grew tired of seeing overpriced cheap barely there "outfits". Would you normally spend $65 on a polyester blend dress that hardly covers your backside? Probably not. That's why this year, I'm absolutely loving the idea of "Halloween Couture".  Take inspiration from John Galliano. (below and above)

Super cute, fun dresses that aren't any costume in general.

Throw in whatever fabuouse detail you might want to add. Teased updo, black lace tights? Anything goes!You're Halloween ready! Best part? Chances are, the things you buy will incorporate into everyday wear, especially if it's black. You will more than likly end up spending less and get additional wear out of it!
