I love to dress up! As a child I played in my grandma’s dress up clothes for hours on end. I had so much fun! I also loved dress up parties at school. With Halloween so close, I am sure you are looking for the best, most unique costume out there. I took the time to gather my favorites. Let me know if you find a favorite among my choices.

No, not a princess! Remember your studies on the masked balls in Early Europe? (Think Ever After!) You could take this costume as far as you want. Have fun! No one will know who you are if you wear the right mask!
Honestly, it all depends on the vibe of the party! If it's casual, maybe jeans and a cute top. For a themed or costume party, I say go all out with costumes. Just wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident!
Sometimes! Theme parties can be super fun, like 80s, Halloween, or even high school stereotypes. It's a great way to get creative and have a blast with friends.
Not necessarily. It really depends on the party. If it's a costume party, then yes! Otherwise, just a stylish outfit you love will do.
Think outside the box! You can mix characters from your favorite shows or movies or create a pun-inspired costume. It's all about creativity and fun!
That’s a tough one! It really depends on your personality and what you feel comfortable in. Some go for laughs, while others prefer to look chic. Both options can be awesome!

This costume would be relatively easy to make. Buy the blue wig, and then use a red t-shirt and round white paper for writing “Thing 1.” This would be fun if you had a best friend to join you with “Thing 2.”

A perfect choice for a girl who wants a little girl feel to her costume, a fairy look could mimic Tinker bell. Cute, insane, easy to make or buy, you will be happy with choice. Who will be Peter Pan?

Try going 80’s, like the photo, or you might like 60’s, or even 50’s with a poodle skirt. If you are shy about dressing up, try an 80’s style. Everyone will wonder if you’ve gone mad in your fashion!

The easiest costume out there is a wig! Throw on some funky sunglasses you can pull off a Farah Faucet look. Go Charlie’s angels! This could be another time capsule.

Erin: At the parties I go to, I've never seen someone dress up. Even at halloween, it's more of an excuse for girls to wear smaller outfits with a theme.
Melanie: Thanks for this great post. :-) I especially like number one on this list. @ Erin - I have to agree with you on that one. When I went in the Halloween costume shop the other day, most of the girls were in the "smaller outfit" section.
