To preface, my family puts Halloween above Christmas. Our favorite holiday by far. We don’t mess around and we take an annual trip to Disney World for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party every October.

This year we decked ourselves out as ghosts. We thought identical costumes would be an even spookier effect, I think it worked out. Our dresses are “Southern Bell Zombie” from Halloween Hallway. The capes we bought on Amazon and the wigs are from Spirit Halloween.

We always do our own makeup, which is a passion of mine. I have so much fun doing halloween makeup and special fx makeup, it might be why it’s one of my favorite holidays.

I think wigs always add the extra wow factor to a costume. We were definitely sweating our butts off in 90 degree heat but also turning lots of heads, so well worth it.

Back in Chicago I did 3 different costumes for 3 different events. My first costume was this mime! I used the same wig from the Disney costume and add a red beret, some makeup, and a black and white striped shirt. A super easy and unique look.

The second event I went as a Scarecrow. I’ll note I definitely blew the bank on our Disney costumes so the rest were pretty DIY. I grabbed a flannel from my closet, a cute bandana, and did my own glammed up version of a scarecrow makeup. This is super cute and easy to wear.

I usually go for something super spooky and super detailed for the actual day of Halloween but this year I decided to do a group costume with my best bud. If you haven’t seen the Lizzie McGuire Movie go watch it right now. We went as Lizzie, Isabella, and Paolo from the iconic Coliseum scene. Another easy fun DIY costume. We wore these to the Halloween parade in Boystown.
