Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

Last Minute Costume Ideas - Vivian and Violet

Happy Fashion Friday! Today I’m bringing you some last minute Halloween costume ideas. This is for those of you who say every year your going to have an epic costume, search Pinterest and then out of no where it’s a day before Halloween! We have all been there, life happens. Moving across country, I have none of my crafty things on hand at the moment and luckily I remembered to bring my furry ears along for the journey. Here are two different ideas you can pull together with just some furry ears from your local target or corner store. All the clothes you already have in your closet and what girl doesn’t have black eyeliner in her makeup bag.

‘Cool Cat’

The ‘Cool Cat’, this one is super easy! Jean vest, ripped denim, moto boots and a neck scarf are most closet staples these days. If your missing one I’m sure a girlfriend of yours has at least one or all of these. The ultimate cool girl must haves. You could also trade out the jean vest for a leather jacket. You will be the coolest cat on the block!

Here are several links to Cat Ears to help you out!

Lace Cat Ears, Sequin Leopard Ears, Studded Cat Ears, Plain Cat Ears, Target sells plain cat furry ones in store only, local Halloween stores around also always have cat ears to pick from

‘Glam Cat/Party Animal’

The ‘Glam Cat/Party Animal’, another fun and easy way to look smashing! Grab your favorite party dress, heels and some sparkly jewelry. It’s a great excuse to look classy and have some fun. If you have a group of girlfriends who are last minute with their costumes too, why not make it a group of party animals! With cocktails in hand, you girls will be the classiest party animals of the night!

Misty

Misty- Vivian and Violet Happy Fashion Friday loves! This post comes from a misty day I got to spend staring at the Golden Gate Bridge. It was glorious. Since the bay breeze was in full force I discovered I have quite a small head. You would think I would know this by now! I almost lost this hat, but it was so worth it.

After the visit to the bridge, I made my way over the Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood to enjoy some fish and chips. I absolutely love this hat. Forever 21 always has great accessories if your looking for something reasonable and fashion forward.

City Stripes

Happy Fashion Friday! It’s only been a week since I moved west to the San Francisco Bay Area and I’m already loving it. The weather is glorious and the city is fantastic! There is so much to explore and I can’t wait to see what I come across to share with you guys. Since living out of a suitcase seems to be what I will be doing for a while, this post I kept it causal in what I like to call city stripes.

While exploring China Town in San Francisco with my hubby, we were able to eat some tasty food and enjoy the busy streets. This light weight striped shirt was perfect for the sun and many shadows of the city. I love the switch in color on the sleeves. It gives what could be a very plain shirt, a little more dimension.

Stripes are a classic. I find either women love them or they steer clear of them. What do you think? Do you love them or hate them?
