You can never go wrong with a classic witch costume. They’re so easy to throw together without spending a fortune.

All you need is a black dress and a witch hat. Assuming that you already have a black dress in your closet, this costume only costs as much as the hat. I found mine at Target for $7.

I was going for a fancier witch look, so I added some jewelry. Never get rid of good costume jewelry, even if you think you’ll never wear it again. Fun fact: The necklace and earring set I am wearing is my Mom’s. She wore it on my wedding day (and looked fabulous, might I add).

As for the makeup, use whatever colors you already have – just make it a little more dramatic.

It doesn’t get much easier than that!
