(I even kinda surprised myself with how much I look like her here :P)
I love dressing up for Halloween, but I hate shopping for Halloween–so I always just shop in my own closet and craft and/or put together something that works. Since I just got back from Istanbul I have not had any time to plan this year, so I’ll be throwing some stuff together last minute.
For a fun costume inspired by one of my style icons–dress up as Frida Kahlo. Find a fun flowey dress, preferably a Mexican vintage one (I’ve got about 5 of these in my closet!) grab a shawl, some dangley earrings, red lipstick, braid up your hair, do up your brows and upper lip if you like with black eye pencil, and BOOM– a quick and easy transformation into the ever-inspiring Frida!
Have a fun and safe Halloween, friends!
