Halter Hippie
Which of these halloween costumes do you like the best?
Here are my options (it's for a party, so I want it to be something I can easily dance with.I want t look pretty- not skimpy)
1. Pirate: A white ruffled shirt, jean shorts, an eyepatch, and multiple braids in my hair, black flats.
2. Hippie Witch: Black tiered skirt, black corset top (or any black top), black scarf with white skulls tied around hair, but what else can I do to make it hippiesh?
3. Peacock: A green-blue halter shirt that looks peacocky, a jean skirt, blue ballerina shoes, and I'd have to make a mask or something.
Do you have any other ideas? I can't buy anything, but I have a lot of props and things like hats, leis, and other costume things.
Peacock.
