Halloween Costumes On The Cheap - Part VI
Okay, so you kind of need to look the part for this one. But if I had blonde hair right now, I’d totally go as my favorite Slayer. I think the best way to get this costume across is to dress like Buffy during her most stylistically iconic era, that being during seasons 1-3 where she wore skirts and had a French manicure most of the time. Later seasons have her wearing a lot of turtlenecks. And Leather pants. So many leather pants! This is just a loose guideline for how to dress like Buffy:
- Mini skirt and white tank top OR
- A spaghetti strap dress, a red satin one will look very 90’s chic
- Jean Jacket or skirt length shirt to wear over outfit
- Boots. Cute ones, preferably leather knee highs
- Manicured nails
- Small hoop earrings
- A big gaudy silver cross necklace
- C ring from Angel (and these are pretty easy to find at thrift stores seeing how popular they were in the 90’s)
- Frosty make-up (think pinks and whites)
- The stake (this is all you really need to make the costume)
Again, without the blonde hair, you may end up looking like a Clueless extra carrying a stake. But if you can afford a wig, go for it! Everything else will be easy and inexpensive. And hey, for brunettes, just wear pants, darker make up, a push-up bra, and go as Faith!
