DIY Goodwill Halloween Costumes

Are you planning to dress up with your family for Halloween this year? Even though this Halloween will be socially distant, there are still fun ways you can dress up and host a FaceTime or Zoom party with your family and friends and share your costumes with one another. This fall, I challenge you to try a fun virtual Halloween costume contest with your friends – head to your local Goodwill and thrift a look to surprise your friends with on Halloween night! You can even plan a fun Halloween photo shoot with your family in your own home with your costumes on to commemorate all hallows eve! 

This fall, Goodwill Tulsa asked me to visit their retail store, including their Halloween Zone to show you how you can create some fun and easy Halloween costumes this season. Plus, did you know when you shop at Goodwill Tulsa your purchases help provide training and job placement services to people who have challenges in finding work. Shopping at Goodwill Tulsa also has a direct impact on people, the community and the environment.

Check out the Goodwill Tulsa website to see what you can expect from them to ensure your shopping experience is safe this season, along with details on their upcoming sales and specials!

It’s not summerween without some spooky summer tees! I wanted to share some of my favorite tees I have purchased this season from some of my favorite designers out there on the world wide web!

Spooky Good Style: Spring Favorites Episode 3

Happy Spring Equinox! It’s finally appropriate to be into all things SPRING – spring clothes, spring-o-ween, pumpkins, bats…you know, your typical spring stuff.

This spring I plan to continue to wear overalls and jumpers – because they’re airy, whimsical, fun and make me feel like I stepped right out of the 1990s.

I am in love with this plaid jumpsuit because of it’s fun fall pattern – but is lightweight enough to sport during spring and summer.

Spooky Good Style: Spring Favorites Episode 2

I love paper bag pants! They are the perfect comfy pant that can also be dressed up. I got this pair on clearance after the holidays at Maurice’s for $8!

They are perfect for spring since they’re lightweight and breezy – plus they look sharp with a graphic tee (in this outfit my tee of choice was Eddie).

I will probably get some more of these pants from H&M this season. They have a huge variety of this style of trouser and for the right price!
