Happy Halloween skanks and hoes! What? Was that rude? Considering the costume options floating around out there, that is apparently what costume manufactures believe the women of America to be. So, when did Halloween become an excuse for grown women (or even teenagers) to run around the streets looking like two dollar hookers? Are US women that lacking in creativity, that all we can come up with is a “sexy” version of a traditional costume? Sexy nurse, sexy witch, sexy cat, even sexy nun, is that really the best we can do? Despite the lines out the door at Ricky’s, we’d like to believe that our readers, being creative fashionistas, have far better costume ideas. We’d love to hear from you. What are you dressing up as this Halloween? Was it a DIY or a store bought? What has been your all time favorite costume?
Recently, we saw that one of our favorite bloggers, Jessica Schroeder from What I Wore has been posting a wonderful series of her past Halloween costumes. You must check them out as they are wonderful examples of what the creative mind can do. From Karl Lagerfeld, to Frida Kahlo, to Little Edie Beale, Jessica has done an outstanding job. Her costumes are also a fantastic inspiration for those of you who need last minute, affordable, ideas that can be made from clothes in your own closet. Whatever you decide to go with we wish you a happy Halloween, from 39th and Broadway!
Update ** We just realized that the lovely Jennine from The Coveted, has her Halloween series up, that you must check out for a ton of DYI costume ideas. Besides some great looks, she has this hilarious quote regarding the slutification of Halloween costumes, “not that there is anything wrong with being slutty (whatever that means) but looking slutty? That’s where I draw the line.”
