I really enjoy Halloween. Like reallllyyy enjoy it. So much that I attended 3 parties  last year and wore a different costume to each one. My costumes were pretty fabulous, but what I’m most proud of is that I didn’t spend a dime over $100 for all three costumes combined. 

If you plan to hit the party circuit and prefer not to buy an overpriced, poorly constructed costume here are a few affordable halloween costume ideas that you can execute yourself (and a list of supplies or items you would need).
