Vampire Costume

Polyvore

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a lovely weekend apart from that crazy storm last night. That wind was so fierce! Anyway, Halloween is nearly upon us and I am pretty excited. I am not dressing up this year which does kind suck but I thought I would still do a little costume post for anyone that is at a total loss! I thought about doing various costumes but decided to just focus on one look and go into a little more detail.

So I went for a vampire costume as lets be honest, it one of the most popular kind out there and there are so many ways of styling it, whether its going totally traditional or a more modern take on it. If you wanted to go for the classic vampire look, you can't go wrong with a black tutu style skirt and a fitted top with lace and frills. Vampires are all about looking glamorous and seductive so some skyscraper heels are a must and they can also be worn again and again. If you wanted to go more 'underworld' vampire then leather is the answer. A pair of skin tight leather leggings or trousers are perfect and look great paired with heels. They are also very in this season so you'll get lots of wear out of them. Again with the leather, a leather jacket is a perfect addiction to a modern vampire look.

Moving onto to accessories, you have to wear a gorgeous pendant necklace. Whether it be a gothic style cross or a simple gem on a chain, they can really make an outfit. Not to forget some fangs which are super important and lots of fake blood. You can really go to town on the blood and make it as gruesome and messy as you like! As for make up, gorgeous dark eye makeup and a deep plum lipstick are ideal with the odd bit of blood here and there.

So thats a few ideas for a vampire costume if you are totally stuck on what to go for. Its also nice to create a costume out of things you can wear on a daily basis. There is nothing worse than splashing out on a costume and never wearing it again. :)

What are you dressing up as this Halloween?
