Style - 31st & Ivy

This generation is not known for their thoughtful planning skills, we like to be spontaneous. When the holidays roll around this means that if you don't check Facebook every hour on the hour, your social calendar tends to fill up on the fly. This Halloween, look stellar in any of these costumes, all found from inside the 21st & Ivy closet, no purchase necessary.
{Boo-tiful}
Show the afterlife a thing or two about fashion with one shredded old bed sheet.
//Rip a bed sheet into strips, tie or string over a belt of your choice //Take a pair of footless tights and pull them over your shoes instead of inside //Switch up your bronzer for baby powder to create your ghostly glow from top to bottom.
{Graveyard Smash}
//Black long sleeve t-shirt //Black pants //White craft paint. Done.
{Bandita}
This look is all about layers of patterns. //A paisley button-up, a tweed vest, a floral blazer, and 4-5 belts will give you the disheveled prairie look. //Throw on some tough boots, a mask made out of a headband, and some red lipstick. {Tumbleweed and rattlesnakes not included.}
{Brave}
Show off your physique and fading tan with simple pieces from your wardrobe.
//Cut off some old khakis and add a simple strip of fabric, fringed with scissors //Throw on your favorite vest //Stack up those leather cuffs you haven't worn in years //Borrow a little lipstick to show your true warrior colors.
{Hello Dolly!}
It's simple really.
//Babydoll dress of your choice //Half or full apron to match//Knee-high socks//Mary-Janes//Tight ringlets//Pink blush swirled to perfect circles over the apple of the cheek//False eyelashes

Make-up Tip: No false eyelashes to complete the look? Draw them on with black eyeliner, a la Twiggy.
{Teen Wolf}
This costume brings together our favorite elements: rockabilly and a hairy werewolf. //Letterman jacket, white v-neck, ripped up jeans //Using brown craft fur, add bits of fur to your cuffs, sneakers and jeans.
