Individual or Couple Choices

The Royal Couples: classy and great for you and your BFF and your siblings if they must tag along for a while.
The '70s: raid Grandma’s closet and hippify yourself with fringe, flares, headbands and definitely some peace signs.
Fairy Queens, Mermaids and Unicorns: super tween choices and always destined to catch someone’s eye. Makeup is the key here with lots of sparkles. Watch some u-tube tutorials for makeup ideas.
Mean Girls: a pink dress and some heels. Look fly in the costume ladies, but please leave the “mean” at home.
Aliens and Robots: still popular and fun. Lots of room to be creative with supplies found around the house.
Halloween Classics: Pirates, Vampires, Zombies, Witches, Ghosts and all other manner of Ghouls never go out of style. The spookier the better.

Sports Fans: Tennis and soccer have stolen some of the limelight this year. Pick up a racket or soccer ball, roll out your tennis shoes and paint some old t-shirts. Or choose your sport and let that be your guide.
Meme Time: go as yourself in the future. Add 20, 30 ,40 years and have some fun with this one. Will your friends recognize you?

Safari Animals: Felines, snakes… animals of all kinds lurk in everyone’s closet thanks to the popularity of animal prints. Get your wild on.
Have fun dressing up as your character and be safe out there!
