Modest Halloween Costumes

By Jasmine Roziers

As an adult, Halloween becomes less about candy and more about the costume party aspect. As we get older, costumes in Halloween stores have less and less material to them. Here are some modest Halloween costume ideas to make you look and feel boo-tiful.

Minnie Mouse: The original girl-next-door, Minnie Mouse makes for a cute costume. It is even a great last-minute costume. Add your own flair with DIY ears and a bow. 

Witch: Halloween is known for its great witch folklore. Dress up as the oldest villian in history. All you need is a black dress and a witch hat. To go all out, grab a broom and brush up on costume makeup. 

Robber: This is another easy and last-minute costume. This can be even wore as an outfit (without the mask, obviously). To add a prop, try to get a brown sack and stencil a money sign on it.

Hippie: Think flower child! Try to wear long sleeved bell sleeved tops, palazzo pants, platforms and of course flowers. Extra cute points for the use of a peace sign or feathers.

Scarecrow: This is another great costume for those of us who are last minute with costumes. It is a simple, cute costume that you could wear again in the future (without the straw hat, of course). To add flair to your costume, try getting a straw wig and doing scarecrow makeup.
