High Style Low Budget

Pieces to Wear Beyond Halloween

by Rachel Lightfoot


Booties—perfect for a Little Bo-Peep costume and everyday fall fashion!

There's nothing lousier than spending a lot of cash on an outfit you'll wear only once. This year, before deciding what or who you want to be for Halloween, think about what wardrobe staples and accessories you've been saving up to buy and base your costume around them.

If you've been coveting a pair of boots and need a black dress for an upcoming party, incorporate them into a witch's costume and come away with an outfit you can wear all year round.

Many Halloween costumes require jewelry or other accessories. This year, skip the over-priced costume stores and head to claires.com or a local boutique for some affordable pieces that you can also work into your everyday style.

If you need special makeup for your costume (or want an excuse to buy a new tube of lipstick!), get some quality products at sephora.com. You'll be glad you didn't waste your precious bucks on waxy colors you'll throw away the next day.

High Style Low Budget has been edited for shojobeat.com; the complete article appears in the October 2008 issue of Shojo Beat Magazine.
