Halloween costume post #2

Hi! This is my costume that I wore on actual halloween. I went to a friend's birthday party (how cool would it be to be born on halloween?) and then for a night out.

This time I was Agnes from despicable me! I was really excited to do this costume, and again I didn't have to buy anything new for it!

Do you not think I look exactly like her? haha! :)

Scrunchie - had since I was little

Yellow top - pubcrawl top turned inside out (it has writing on it normally)

Dungarees - Rebel Rebel

Converse - Office

Unicorns - borrowed from a friend

It was such a fun night and I kept singing the 'unicorns I love them song'. 

The best part was I met Jake and Lemongrab while I was out!

The last picture of me and Jake is so funny, I look so possessive of him! haha :')

Thanks for reading! Please comment what you think of my costumes :) x

Halloween costume post #1

On Monday I went to town with my friends, to a halloween themed night. I don't usually like to do a 'scary' fancy dress so I went as a mermaid. I'm really proud of myself because I already had all the parts of this costume expect the skirt, so I hardly spent any money :)

Bralet - topshop sale - £3

Shell necklace - H&M sale - £2

Scale print shorts - *Alicia Zenobia - etsy shop* - approx £40

Green net - eBay - approx £2

Starfish hairclip - market stall - 30p

I already had a pair of cute orange starfish hair clips, which I got from a market in Turkey. They work out at about 30p each! 

This bralet was the closest thing I had to a shell bra, but I also didn't want to wear a top that was really skimpy. I got this shell necklace in the H&M sale, just last month which was really lucky! When I first decided to be a mermaid I hadn't even realised that I had so many accessories that I could wear with my outfit :)

These shorts are amazing! I know they're expensive but I think they're definitely worth it for being so unusual, it was because I'd bought these shorts in the summer that I wanted to dress up as a mermaid. I wanted to make a skirt/tail sort of thing because I felt a bit too exposed if I just wore the shorts on their own. I bought the green net material off ebay and it was really cheap. There were lots of different options to choose from too. I decided to make a skirt that was open at the front rather than a full tutu. 

It was really easy to do:

All I need was a long piece of ribbon (or cord, etc.) a needle and thread. I lay out the material and folded the top end over a couple of inches, the ribbon lies under this fold. Then I sewed the fold down. You now have a waistband with a ribbon running through it. To make it fit my waist I ruched the material up along the ribbon until I was satisfied with how it looked. Then I simply tied the skirt around my waist (similar to a sarong).

I hope everyone enjoyed their halloween! I'll be doing another post to show my costume from Thursday night soon! :) x
