Quick Tip: Green Halloween- Homemade Costume Ideas

Thinking about Halloween costumes for this year?  Rather than going to a Halloween speciality store and spending $40 on a costume worn once, try renting from a theatrical or costume shop.

Feeling extra creative?  Recycle some clothes in the closet you’re saving to wear ‘some day’. Convert an old shirt or bedsheets to a cape, layer clothes to dress up a’ la hobo chic as Ashley or Mary-Kate Olsen or use old formal wear to go as a classy or train-wrecked celeb.

*And before Halloween comes, Let’s cheer on the Phillies – World Series! Whoo!
