Bohemian Chic Maxi

I'm always so jealous of those perfect boho outfit posts on Pinterest. I've been on a long Journey to find an adorable boho maxi dress. It's difficult to find a maxi dress that has the right print, length, and fit. FINALLY, last week while shopping the clearance rack at American Eagle, I found it.
Added an oversized sweater and booties to make this seasonally appropriate.

 
The belt came from a shirt in my closet.

 
Dress $19.99 American Eagle Clearance, sweater Hollister $16 Memorial Day Sale, Booties Express $14.99 end of winter semi-annual sale.

When it gets even cooler I will add tights(or leggings), taller boots, and an anorak jacket.

DIY Costumes found in your closet!

Get invited to a party last minute? On a tight budget? maybe you had a wardrobe malfunction? or your costume wasn't delivered in time?
 If you answered yes, don't fret. Here are six not too obvious costume ideas using items most girls already have in their closets.
 
 
 
Mary Poppins: umbrella, black hat, flower(s), white button up, blazer or light jacket, red ribbon, black skirt, black bag the bigger the better, black tights, and black heels.
It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
 
 
 
Daria: Glasses(round if available) green coat, brown under shirt, black skirt, combat boots. Add a pout and you're good to go.
 
 
Redneck: Flannel, ripped jeans, boots, beer. I also drew on some freckles. Make sure you choose a redneck beer for a prop; busch, PBR, or bud heavy.
 

 
Hippie: Headband, sunglasses, flowy top, for the bottoms you can do ripped jeans, bell bottoms, or palazzo pants. Almost any shoes will do. A middle part is better, ponies and braids work great too. To go even bigger add some tie dye and glitter wherever possible.


 
 
Librarian: glasses, button down sweater, tight tank, curve hugging skirt, heels, book. I added a watch too because smart people/readers would wear a watch.
 
 
Black widow: all black outfit, red makeup or ketchup, weapon or shovel. If you go with the shovel get a little dirty. The idea is that you made yourself a black widow. Clearly I've murdered my husband and put him in this shed. But if I had a shovel I would have buried him.
 
____HAPPY Halloween!____
