The Dressy Dose : October 2018

Hello my lovely friends! If you don’t already know me, my name is Brandi Kimberly. I am a fashion blogger and Instagram Influencer (@cutebrandik). I’ve been blogging for 3 years on cutebrandik.com but I took a break in the spring because I started classes for my Master’s Degree. I am excited to get back into the swing of things! I hope this new blog will be equally, if not, more inspirational to you all.

Halloween Costumes

Today I am going to share 2 DIY Halloween Costumes that are super easy to put together. I love Halloween because it’s a holiday where you get to play dress up for the night! I used to buy my costumes all the time, but there is just something so genuine about putting a costume together yourself. The best part is, I used outfits that are currently in my closet. I hope you find these costume ideas helpful or inspiring to add a little creativity to your Halloween look.

The Scarecrow

I came up with this idea because overalls are making a huge comeback in the world of fashion this year. I used a denim jumper and one of my favorite plaid shirts. To finish the look, I added a big black hat and some pointy booties. The only thing I bought, was the face stickers from the Spirit Halloween store but you can use makeup to draw on the facial details of a scarecrow.

The Flapper

This would be my go-to costume during a night out on the town! I used a cute black dress that I bought on sale at Nordstrom during the spring but I haven’t had the chance to wear until now. This dress is perfect because of the length and it is very classy. I added a long necklace and some kitten heels. I grab a fur boa that belongs to a sweater-vest I own. The only thing I recently bought was the headband. I bought this headband off Amazon and it is inspired by “The Great Gatsby,” one of my favorite books and I also loved the movie. You can grab this beautiful headband right here! Are there any Great Gatsby fans out there? Do you prefer the book, the movie, or both?
