Blog Request: Halloween Costumes

Hey Nice girls!


I received a blog request a few days ago for ideas on nice girl approved Halloween costumes. It can be extremely hard to find costumes that are appropriate. I have a few ideas on how to take a costume that may be on the “hoochie momma” (haha) side of Halloween and make it nice girl approved.

How to make a costume appropriate:

Problem: My dress/ skirt are way too short!
Solution: Don’t be afraid to rock a pair of leggings under your outfit. Judging by Ohio weather it will most likely be cold on Halloween. The leggings will keep you warm and cover your booty. If your outfit comes with fishnets, replace them with opaque tights. This will help to tone down the outfit and make it more appropriate.

Problem: My outfit is low cut!
Solution: Wear a Cami! Go through your dresser drawers and pull out a colored cami that matches your outfit. This will help to conceal the low cut top and make you feel more comfortable.

Problem: I cannot find a costume that I will feel comfortable in!
Solution: Design your own costume! Bring out your creative side and hit the craft store, the thrift store or even the dollar store and find materials to make your own. When I was in 8th grade I was a jack in the box. My mom and I took and old box painted it to look like the outside of a jack in the box. I painted my face to match the character on the inside and I found a joker costume at the party store. This was a fun and unique costume that was appropriate and I also felt comfortable in it.

Problem: I am not creative to design my own but I want an appropriate costume.
Solution: Look in the kids section of the party store for a costume that may fit you. Even though you may think these costumes will be to small grab the biggest size and slip it on. You never know until you try it on. This is a great way to find a costume that is fun and appropriate and suitable to fit your classy tastes.

Costume ideas:
1. Find a well known commercial character… for example: Flo from the Progressive commercials.

2. Royal Wedding. Wear an old wedding dress and rock a sapphire on your ring finger

3. Dress up as your favorite movie. For example, I would dress up as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. I have actually done this before. I wore a pink dress and carried a pink bag with a stuffed dog, and of course I had on pink heels.

4. Be a Disney character. This is always a fun and appropriate way to dress up.

5. Grab a friend and dress up as each other. My parents went to a Halloween party this past Saturday. They didn’t dress up but had the idea to dress up as each other. My dad would dress up as my mom and vice versa.

I hope this helped to give you an idea on how to enjoy Halloween while feeling comfortable. What are you going as for Halloween? I would love to hear your costume ideas in the comments below.
