I've always thought Halloween should be fun, but with the majority of birthdays in October, I never had enough energy to think about a costume and forget about actually putting one together--my energy just never expands to that realm.
Sooo, when I came across some easy fixes, I thought I might share them with you.
Golden Cleopatra--craft a belt and headdress covering them in jewels, pair them with a straight long maxi dress or a sheet tied as a toga and you are the hit of the party.Cut an 18" circualr color with a hole in the center and one side snipped. Decorate with self adhesive jewels. Use velcro to keep everything together. Measure from ankle to waist and cut felt starting at 8" wide at bottome and narrowing to 4" width at the top. Fashion into a belt, and add self adhesive jewels. Measure head and add 5 " glue more of the jewels . Use bronze eyeshadow and you are cool.

Hippie
The classic hippie look spans both the '60s and early '70s. This is a versatile costume idea you can adapt for a casual party or a fashion-themed event. Loose polyester jackets and button-down or tie-dyed shirts work for both men and women. For a girlier look, wear a flowing flower-print dress and a long open vest accessorized with a head band around the forehead. The key to carrying off a hippie costume is in your demeanor. Hippies have come to symbolize peace and love, so put a smile on your face and consider picking a few flowers to pass around.
