It is October 29th as I write this, which is _basically_ Halloween, so the question is: do you have all of your costumes yet?
I get it. Halloween seems to last an entire week, if not longer, and it feels absolutely imperative to have a different costume for every spooky evening coming your way. And you have to look fabulous, or be clever, or have become a MUA overnight and have watched a scary good make-up tutorial. Plus, if you give in and buy your costumes, you might end up with a new set of outfits you will never wear again.
Well, I’m here to help. Whether you’re broke or you’re ballin’, you can use any of these casual and cute pieces as parts of a costume. Then next week, when the world is normal again (until the holiday season hits), you can break it out and add it to your every-day closet.
**THE DEVIL**
=============
If God is a woman, I’m pretty sure the Devil is one, too. I mean, Satan is sexy, majestic, and she keeps receipts.
That’s why, if you’re thinking of dressing up as the dark angel, I would suggest either this super sleek, sheer maxi dress from [Forever 21](https://www.forever21.com/us/shop/catalog/product/f21/dress/2000298566) ($24.90) or this grandiose, oversized, opera faux fur coat by [Balenciaga](https://www.balenciaga.com/us/coats_cod41836826vk.html#/us/women/ready-to-wear) ($4,100). Get yourself a pair of red pumps and some horns, then get to damning those souls, babes.

**THE MELTING GLACIERS**
========================
You know what’s _really_ scary? The fact that we’re like, hurtling toward the end of the world as we know it and for the most part, we’re continuing with our daily lives as if everything is fine.
Anyway, to dress up as our planet’s glaciers melting due to climate change, I would take a look at this cute, puffy jacket from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Essentials-Lightweight-Water-Resistant-Packable/dp/B0738GND9D/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1540494675&sr=8-21&keywords=light+blue+coat) ($59) or these stylish, shiny trousers from [Prada](https://www.prada.com/us/en/women/ready_to_wear/products.iris%C3%A9_voile_and_silver_ripstop_trousers.22X733_1RZI_F0C5W_S_182.html) ($1,720). Match either of these with either bikini bottoms or a top to represent the constant beach party we’ll be having when Earth’s water levels rise high enough.

**SEA CAPTAIN**
===============
Ahoy, ladies! Do you ever feel like you were a sailor in a past life, living out on the sea, in the sun, skirting the glittery blue ocean on your way to explore the world? This is your time let ye old self out! Get yourself a captain’s hat, and you’ll be ready for adventure with either this cool and cozy gold buttoned coat from [Zara](https://www.zara.com/us/en/gold-buttoned-coat-p08073253.html?v1=7896514&v2=1074615) ($149) or this gorgeous embroidered wool and silk one from [Dior](https://www.dior.com/en_us/products/couture-911M15X1162_X9000-wool-and-silk-coat) (Available at [Dior boutiques](https://www.dior.com/en_us/products/couture-911M15X1162_X9000-wool-and-silk-coat)).

**PRINCESS LEIA**
=================
This is the perfect opportunity to break out your adorable space buns (btw, are they called that because of Leia??). Whether you go simple with this [ASOS](https://us.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-overhead-hoodie-in-white/prd/9728044?clr=white&SearchQuery=Hoodies&gridcolumn=1&gridrow=3&gridsize=2&pge=1&pgesize=72&totalstyles=126) hoodie ($29) or get grand with this hooded coat by [Gucci](https://www.gucci.com/us/en/pr/women/womens-ready-to-wear/womens-coats/wool-coat-with-hood-p-530868ZHW039205?position=51&listName=ProductGrid&categoryPath=Women/Womens-Ready-to-Wear/Womens-Coats) ($3,980), all you need is to get your hair right and all your favorite _Star Wars_ nerds will know exactly who you are.

**BELL BOY**
============
All you need for this look is one of those silly little bell boy hats and one of these gorgeous red coats, and then you’ll be good to go. It’s a perfect look, actually. You could spend the night partying, passing out candy, or loitering by the elevators in your favorite downtown hotels. How well do you think bell boys get tipped? Probably pretty well.
The first coat is the burgundy oversized jacket from [H&M](https://www2.hm.com/en_us/productpage.0671344001.html) ($39.99) the second is the embroidered officer jacket in antique red velvet from [Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello](https://www.ysl.com/us/shop-product/women/ready-to-wear-blazer-jacket-embroidered-officer-jacket-in-antique-red-velvet_cod49381817em.html#dept=women_rtw_view_all) ($3,890).
