My Halloween Costume

Happy Halloween everyone. I hope everyone has a spooky day filled with more treats than tricks.

Over the weekend, I had a lot of Halloween festivities planned. One of them was a Halloween Dance. I went with some of my best friends for a night of dancing, costumes, and memories. So, what did I go as? Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I loved dressing up for a fun night. I found this costume on Pinterest, and lucky for me I had all the supplies at home. This costume was all DIY and it was so fun to put together.

So, if you are in need of a costume for tonight, here is how you can pull off this look at home. I am a lover of heels. I feel confident, in my element, and I feel I can take on the world when I am wearing heels. Naturally, I wore my favorite pair of black heels for my costume. They were so comfortable I wore them the whole night, through walking to the dance, dancing the night away and walking back to my dorm. Now, if you aren’t a heel girl, no worries, a pair of wedges or ballet flats work fine too. Whatever you feel your best in.

I am wearing just a simple black dress. This style was pretty close to the one in the movie but any little black dress works. Wear what you feel your best in. We all have one little black dress tucked away in our closets.

I found  a lot of pearl costume jewelry between my mom and I so I wore two pearl necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. The more pearls the better. I had a pair of velvet long gloves that worked perfect to complete my costume.

As for my hair, I used a sock bun to get a high bun.  To replicate the iconic picture with her long cigarette, I just used a black colored pencil for the pictures.

I didn’t spend a penny on my costume and I had a great time. It’s always a good time with the girls when you can get dressed up and let loose. What are you dressing up for Halloween? What’s your favorite Halloween candy?  Let me know in the comments below!
