A Butterfly, Witch, Princess, Devil, Vampire, Twin Witches, Pirate, Cowboy/Cowgirl, Cat-Woman...

Flipping through the photo-album that lays on a bookshelf in my home, you'll find that I, at one point, kept the same style of Halloween costumes every year. For three straight years, (from kindergarten to second grade), I was a witch that appeared in different outfits.

A couple years ago, I actually made my own costume where I borrowed my mother's black skinny dress, used makeup, made my hair crazier (than always) and created the "Cat-Woman," look. If I used a black wig, I would have become a character from The Addam's Family. Because of this idea came this article, where we can create outfits and costumes from popular or recent movies.

1. Pirate(s) from "Pirates of the Caribbean"

As a fan of the "Pirates of the Caribbean," dressing up as pirate that resembles Captain Jack Sparrow, or any character from the movie is always exciting. If you're on a budget, the easiest way would be finding a pair of dark pants or leggings, a white long blouse, tie a red (or any color) bandana around your forehead, and wear long boots. The only investment might be a pirate hat. To get a Captain Jack Sparrow look, I would recommend face paint, and makeup (eyeliner). For the hair you could use a wig (with braids) or if you have long hair you can braid it.

2. Wonder Woman

Online you can buy the 2017 version of Wonder Woman, or the 1975 version of Wonder Woman. If you want to make-it yourself, the easiest way would be finding a blue skirt, a red tank top, and a hand-crafted gold belt and headband to create the 2017 or 1975 version.

3. Logan (or Wolverine)

In order to achieve the "Logan" look (also known as Wolverine) from the movie, can be easily be made by hand. All you would need is a tank top, jeans, and make your own wolverine claws (you can even make it out of paper if that's all that you have). To achieve the bearded look and hair, you could grow it out or use make-up and fake facial hair. A leather brown or black jacket is optional.

4. Owen and Claire from Jurassic World

Owen's look requires green cargo pants, steel toe boots (or any boots), a blue jacket shirt and a vest with multiple pockets.

Claire's look requires a white (or beige) blouse with a pink tank top underneath, a white or beige skirt with a white belt, and a pair of beige heels. A red wing will complete the outfit.

Makeup will enhance the, "I'm running away from a dinosaur that's chasing me," look.

5. Maleficent

You can easily make these costumes with everyday clothing and little bit of creativity. Your costume will be more impressive than a store-bought costume.
