(If you didn’t see it, here’s the backstory to this series)
Dear Halloween,
My first attempt to thwart your expensive and often slutty costumes came in at a grand total of $0.59 because I had to buy salt. It is easy, cute and recognizable. Take that!



The Morton Salt Girl is an easy, easy costume if you already own a yellow dress or yellow coat, and umbrella and salt.
You’ll need:
Yellow dress or yellow coat
Yellow or black mary janes or flats
Umbrella
Morton salt
White tights
This costume was super easy, because I already own everything (except salt, apparently) that I needed to put this look together.
Dress: Modcloth (same wrinkly dress from earlier this week)
Tights: Betsey Johnson
Flats: Charlotte Russe
Umbrella: Target
Salt: Meijer
Up next, Alice in Wonderland…

This is so cute!! What a great idea!!
I also love your nail polish, even if it is on more than one nail
xo
LOL- three nails are green and two are purple! Today I have only one purple nail
i am not into halloween at all, but if i do have to pull together a costume, this is what i’m doing! love it!!!
Just wait till you see all the others
That is a really cute dress. I wish I could pull off yellow as well as you.
I think the golden color would look good on you! Most yellows wash me out!
Oh so cute!! I know I love putting together a costume when I have everything I need already!
But the get-up looks too cute for Halloween.. ^^
This is a great idea. I love it. I just showed Lili, she thought it was very clever. Nice, multi generational appreciation here.
Wait until tomorrow! It’s Alice in Wonderland, and it’s not slutty at all! LOL.
I wanted to showcase costumes that anyone (well, female) would be able to wear, regardless of age. The only ones that might be more adult would be the Lady Gaga one (which consists of a costume that covers my entire body!) and maybe the ones I’ll showcase the week of Halloween. I’m all about the free/cheap costumes!!
Dear Suze,
Thanks for making me SO awesome.
Love,
Halloween
LOL!!
What a totally original idea! Love it! Thanks for incorporating a ModCloth dress!
Your friend,

No prob! That dress is probably my favorite Modcloth purchase ever! (Well, that an a red belt).
Very very lovely.
