It’s Halloween, so you know what that means! It’s time to get ready for all of the costume parties you’ve been invited to and sometimes it can be a bit stressful searching for the perfect look. You want your outfit to be original, but also affordable; not too easy or hard either. If you’re going with someone else though (like as a couple) finding something both people will like is tricky business– there are just so many options out there! There are cute costumes where everyone might think they have found their one true love at first sight; scary ones, if that suits more of your style better than trying anything cutesy, would do; or even funny outfits which let others know how corny this whole thing was in retrospect.
