Everybody knows that there is a surprisingly high number of people that wake up on Halloween and still don't have a costume, whether they've been trying to come up with something for the last few months, weeks, or hours.
So, we decided to do a really simple post on this All Hallows Eve with old Halloween costume pictures and ideas--none of which should be too difficult to create for your party.
What's more iconic than a Marilyn Monroe costume?
Not only is it recongizable, sexy, and fun, but it is also easy to put together.
What You'll Need:
A white dress, OR white skirt and top
A white dress, OR white skirt and top

Platform black shoes
What You'll Need for Her:
Simple white dress (with cape or train)

"A thin moon faints in the sky o'erhead
And dumb in the churchyard lie the dead.
We walk not, Sweet, by garden ways,
Where the late rose hangs and the phlox delays,
But forth of the gate and down the road,
Past the church and the yews, to their dim abode.
For it's turn of the year, and All Souls' Night,
When the dead can hear and the dead have sight."
Happy All Hallows Eve!
