Halloween. The best of times and the worst of times.
The best part of Halloween: eating lots of free candy, hanging out with your friends, and dressing up as something totally unique. The worst part of Halloween: dressing up as something totally unique.
Even though the night is filled with fun times, there’s a lot of pressure that comes with picking out the perfect costume. AND the worst part is you usually spend hours and (way too many) dollars running around at the last minute trying to pick out the perfect pieces that you’ll never even wear again.
But HAVE NO FEAR. I’m here to help.
The DIY feed on Pinterest had me feeling all inspired so, of course, I went and raided the Forever 21 at the Montclair Place. After trying on about 20 pieces, I came up with two perfectly unique costumes for you & your friends! AND THE BEST PART? They’re made up of items you can wear ALL YEAR LONG.
So here they are folks:
Look #1: Emoji Dancers
We’ve all used them to add a little but of spice to our texts, so why not dress like them and add some spice to your Halloween?!
If you want dress up with a friend & don’t want to break the bank, this costume is calling your name. The whole thing’s made up of only 3 pieces! 3 pieces!!!
All you need is a black leotard/bodysuit, black booties, top it off with a black bow & wallah! Pure magic.
Not only will everyone be jealous of your costume and wonder why they didn’t think of it themselves, BUT you will also be able to rock these pieces all year long!
Black bodysuits go perfectly under shorts, pants, and skirts. So basically everything in your closet. And, black booties are essential for the fall/winter anyways SO you might as well get them now and rock them on Halloween.
Shop: Black bodysuit
Shop: Black booties
Shop: Black Bow
Look #2: (The not so scary) Scarecrow
Okay, when you first think scarecrow, you probably don’t think of the cute, fun, flirty costumes you had in mind – BUT YOU’RE SO WRONG.
I’ll tell you why.
Overalls and off-the-shoulder tops have been super trendy over past few months. I have plenty off-the-shoulder tees (I’m slightly obsessed and probably need to cut myself off), but I hadn’t gotten any overalls yet. SO I finally gave myself an excuse to get some!
I combined these two staple pieces with a straw hat, knee high boots, some extra makeup and became a scarecrow. Simple as that.
As you can see, I added some extra blush and used liquid eyeliner to draw stitches coming from the sides of my lips and my nose.
Then, after Halloween’s over, all you have to do is ditch the “stitches” makeup and you’ll still be looking as cute as ever.
Shop: Crop top
Shop: Overalls
Shop: Straw hat
Shop: Boots
So, when shopping for this years Halloween, be sure to put your costume together with clothes you can rock all year long. And to help you out, the Montclair Place & I have teamed up to give away a $25 gift card to Forever 21!!! WOO HOO!!

So cute! Since we are now officially in the holiday season I would love to read a blog post about making ugly Christmas sweaters a little more fashionable! Like I know they are supposed to be ugly but how can we still be cute (accessories, etc). Thank you!
Dude, cute costumes. With the holiday season fast approaching, how about sharing some of your travel tips on how to be stylish and dressed for the occasion without having to bring your whole wardrobe along. Lol, if that’s even possible.

You should make a post about your experience with the Finebrothers
Make a post about Art
Hi, I don’t want to sound creepy or anything, but I’ve been watching you on the React series since 2012, and you’re stunning. I would love to see you blog about any monthly favorites you have, like beauty products, music, fashion, etc. I would also love to see any kind of advices you would give to other people because few of my friends asked me about stuff, like makeup tips and relationships.
Hi I really like this blog I think these are some cool Halloween ideas. I was hoping maybe you could do a room decor blog or everyday makeup routine.
These are adorable, I might do the emoji dancers with one of my friends, as I’m a dancer myself 🙂 I would love to see something about your college experience, everyday makeup routine or drugstore finds on your blog! <3
You should blog about Halloween as you were growing up. What you were and all that
Wow Maddie I’m totally being a scarecrow for halloween! Cute and easy to make at the same time! Perfect for a last minutes costume for a procrastinator like me. Your blog is amazing, I’ll definetely be checking back in for your next one!
Hi Maddie! I would really like you to blog about your acting experience(s)! I’ve seen you on iCarly (that one episode with One Direction, lol) and I would like to know how you got that “cameo role” (for example how you prepare yourself for an audition) . And I also would really like to know how you got into the “She Looks So Perfect” Music Video since I’m a huge 5SOS fan ♥️ 🙂
Hey Maddie! First of all I think you are beutiful and you have a great personality. I really like your blogs and this blog really helped me choose a good costume for halloween.
