Will You be Dressing up for Halloween? Our Fashion Ed isn't in the Spirit...

Do you fancy getting dressed up for Halloween? No, me neither. The whole costume thing has gone too far really to a point where my inner Mary Fitzgerald is even stressing out (children of the '80s, do you remember 'How do you do?').

The extent of my Halloween costumes got as far as cutting out a head and arms from a black refuse sack, and purchasing a lovely witches hat, as well as those latex witches fingers you stuck on your own (they got terribly sweaty though). After that, Halloween costumes are beyond me. As creative as I would like to think I am, I've never been able to make the masterpiece outfit for the spooky time of year. And now, I fear, I am just too old. Oh well.

But if you are heading out to a Halloween party, or it's get dressed-up-at-work day, then you don't need to go all out and rent an Armadillo costume. You just need to add some simple accessories to get you in the spirit (another pun there, soz). Accessorize have a great selection of hair bands with various forms of devil horn, as well as lace fingerless gloves and ghoulish earrings which won't break the bank.
