Halloween for Adults

We all secretly wish we were kids at heart on Halloween, right? The excitement as the sun starts to fade  and you go down the block with friends singing Trick or Treat at the friendly neighbor who opens the door. Halloween was always a big deal in my neighborhood. My street connects with two others and the houses are pretty close together, so it is a magnet for kids of all ages on Halloween night. It makes me sad that it isn't socially acceptable for adults to go out anymore. Who doesn't love free candy? That doesn't mean you can't throw a killer party. The years of kid costumes from Party City are past {sadly}. I've found Party City and other Halloween have very limited costumes that look good on me and look appropriate {no short-short dresses!}I've found a few costumes that look great for adults that are worth looking into. If none of these costumes suit your eye, check out Pinterest or ASOS Fashion Finder under event Halloween. They give you some solid suggestions.

JACK O LANTERN: Who doesn't love a cute pumpkin. ASOS makes this super cute sweater that you can wear over some slimming leggings or skinny jeans. It's a classic style that everyone will get and you'll look super cute. Although it is a men's sweater, it will make it them much more comfier.

PAGEANT PRINCESS: We all have the gorgeous dress collecting dust in our closet. You know, the one that we are going to wear to some fancy event and it never happens. Time to pull a Pageant Princess. Pair that fancy gown with some glamorous pumps and a glitzy tiara and you'll be the "Ultimate Grand Supreme" of the party! If you don't have pumps, grab a cheap pair at Payless. Their Comfort Plus brands over a low enough pump that you can actually walk, but high enough it gives you a boost of height. Party stores sell their plastic tiaras for a dollar or two. 

RUNNER: Haven't you always wanted to say you've ran a marathon? Now is your chance. Grab your   running shorts and lace up those tennis shoes. You can fake the athletic look so simply. Make sure you find a "race bib".  You can print out one for free on:
