How To Make A Halloween Costume From Your Wardrobe

Halloween is coming closer and today I’m showing you how to make a Halloween Costume from your wardrobe. Costumes can be expensive and if you are only wearing it for one night a year can seem like a pointless expense. I had an idea to make a DIY witches costume from some items I already had in my wardrobe and thought I would share it with you for some spooky inspiration on how you can do the same.

I first had the idea when I purchased the Zara Guipure Lace Top a couple of weeks ago. I have worn it already with jeans and it looked very pretty, but it also has a gothic feel to it so I thought it was a good item to base my Spooky Halloween Costume around.

I have styled it with plain black trousers, which most people will already have in their own wardrobe. If you don’t have black trousers you could wear a black skirt mini or maxi both would give a great effect. I also had an old lace cardigan in my wardrobe which I have added to the costume. You could use a lace shirt, cardigan or even some black lace gloves would give a nice effect.

On my feet, I am wearing my Zara Sparkle Ankle Boots. You could wear some black boots or heels anything black really. The more outrageous the better! For a pop of colour I have added my Zara Metallic Sunglasses as they are a bright orange colour and really pop against the black. Also orange is a great Halloween colour being the colour of pumpkins.

To finish off the look I am wearing a dark lip. I have achieved this look by lining my lips with black liner and adding a dark berry lipstick.

All of the items featured in the Halloween Costume come together to create a really strong fancy dress look, but actually all the pieces when worn alone look completely different and are all really wearable everyday items. I hope you like my inspiration and it helps you to make your own Halloween costume from your wardrobe. And I hope I haven’t scared you too much with my spooky witches outfit 🙂
