Many of us probably own a white flowy dress. If not, here is a super cute one from Amazon. This dress is perfect for this look because it creates a nice contrast between the sweet, innocent vibe, and the rough pirate vibe from the corset and the boots.
A brown leather underbust corset is the statement piece in this look. This particular one has that classic brown color and buckles in the front that makes it look super “piratey”
This waist chain belt is a nice detail and adds an extra touch to the whole outfit. It goes especially well with a corset that has gold coloured hardware, like the one above.
Complete the look with a pair of knee high boots and a bandana, either tied around your leg or in your hair. Gorgeous! Easy to match with friends as well.
#2 Non-Basic Trendy Halloween Costume: Carrie
A classic. Simple, easy and super cute. The best part – only three items are needed for this look.
Example:

This gorgeous mini slip dress will no doubt turn all eyes onto you. It’s just a bit sexier than the dress Carrie wears in the movie, but this look would work just as well with a longer dress if that’s more your style!
And of course, don’t forget to add this beautiful gold tiara to your hair do.
Is it really a Halloween costume without fake blood? Use this one to cover yourself and your dress as much as you prefer.
