This week I’m dressing up as a bat, an iconic Halloween symbol. If you can’t decide on a costume I think keeping it classic is always the way to go, and I had everything already in my closet for this. This would make for a great last minute costume because it is super easy to pull together.
I went with an all black outfit of course to really get the vibe of the bat. I started with my pleather skort, added an all lace top (that I got on clearance for 50 cents, what a steal), thigh high boots, and most important of all the bat wings. Funny enough the wings are a dog costume that I made work by putting the straps together and putting it on like a backpack. Halloween is sometimes all about creativity and making anything and every thing you have work any way you can.

I always say this but I love doing my hair and makeup for my costumes and this week I went dark with the makeup. I used black eyeshadow for a smoky eye, dabbed a bit on my lips and then added lipgloss for a subtle black lipstick. Using eyeshadow as a lipstick is the best hack because you can have any color you want without having to buy an extra product. I wore my hair half up half down and the two buns represent the ears of a bat. I tied black ribbon around my neck to create a choker and the look was complete.
