Autumn is my favorite time of year, the weather starts to cool, the leaves begin to change and the month of October is full of Harvest Festivals, Haunted Houses and of course, HALLOWEEN!

This year, I’ve put together the 31 Days of Halloween, 31 hand-created or styled costumes in addition to some costume tutorials. One costume will be posted each day of October on my Instagram account and I will also be making a daily blog post to go with the IG posts. Many of the costumes I made, but there isn’t always time to make a costume from scratch, sometimes you have to make do with a “styled” costume which is a costume you create with items on hand or with minimal purchases.

Day 1 – The Madd Hatter – Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories and I love the different adaptations that have been created over the years. The Madd Hatter is one of my favorite characters. I styled this costume several years ago for a company Halloween celebration and I actually won the costume contest that year. Most of the items were things that I had on hand, I only purchased the tights to add to the costume. The hat/fascinator had been purchased a few years before, but I did make some changes to it to better fit my “vision”.

Day 2 is up next!

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween
