Jessica Rabbit has such a glamorous look to her and my everyday makeup skills just wouldn’t cut it. I enlisted my friend Britney to use her magic again (she created Jack Skellington, Ursula and my looks for DragonCon last year – Pennywise and The Raven) and I knew that certain costumes would need her skills. Since Jessica Rabbit is an animated character we wanted to keep her cartoonish looks for the costume. This is the most I have never looked like myself for any costume and I absolutely love it.

My costume is entirely from Amazon which is super convenient. The dress runs a tad big in the chest FYI. You’ll need safety pins or some double sided beauty tape for sure. I am a 36DD and wore a padded strapless bra and the chest area was still a tad large. I wore purple heels which I already owned but you can also wear nude heels which I have seen done!

Alfred Hitchcock is the original master of horror. His films have a way of sticking with you, due largely in part to the suspense. For those who haven’t seen the movie, The Birds focuses on a series of sudden and unexplained violent bird attacks on people. The bagged costume had some not so good reviews, mostly how the jacket was cheap and made out of foam with no structure, so I ended up going with a classic green dress. Mine came with a belt too but I opted not to use it for the photo. Shout out to my friend and makeup extraordinaire Britney for adding the creepiness dynamic to this picture!

My second Uma Thurman character of the month – do you remember the first? Poison Ivy There are so many versions of this costume you could do. As long as you’re wearing green and have the red wig, people will totally know who you are. If it’s cold on Halloween you can wear a long sleeve green body suit, green leggings, skirt or tutu. You can add a cape, wear a dress, make your own (google “Poison Ivy Cosplay” to see some amazing costumes).

My entire costume was sent to me from California Costumes. They have a ton of incredible complete costumes that come with literally everything. Shop my wig and costume! This costume runs small so order one size up!

Here is another easy and comfy costume to add to the list! You can pair with black leggings or black biker shorts depending on the weather. Same with the shoes – red kitten heels or red flats would be perfect. This wig I was able to use for 3 different costumes this month: Flashdance, Rocky Horror and Alien. For under $16 it’s a decent wig to have in a your dress up stash! I cannot believe there are only 2 weeks until Halloween! So sad that this month is going by fast!

Elvira was a no-brainer costume for me. She is one of those iconic characters that you recognize even if you haven’t seen any of her films. Her costume is also SO simple because there are only 3 components: the wig, dress and dagger. I was able to use this dress for 3 costumes this month (Elvira, Morticia and Maleficent) so it’s worth getting and keeping for future Halloweens. Elvira’s makeup is also insanely simple with a mix of purple and pink eyeshadow, lots of black eyeliner and a red lip!

The iconic hairdo, black dress and gloves make Breakfast at Tiffany’s an instant recognizable costume. This look can easily be achieved for under $50 as long as you do some searching and possibly thrifting. Check out your local Goodwill or jewelry store for antique jewelry for sale and black dresses (I’ve also linked exact items below)!

“Let’s clear up a few misconceptions. There are two things Peggy Bundy doesn’t do. Number 1: cook, clean, sew, vacuum, iron, and parent. and number 2: exercise.”

Peg Bundy is a 2020 mood, amiright? This was one of the easiest costumes to assemble and honestly looks so much better than the bagged ones being sold. What woman doesn’t have a pair of black leggings or spanx in their closet already? The great part about this costume is that if you’re over the age of 30 literally everyone will know who you are!
