Did you know that Halloween originally started out as a Christian holiday? The tradition of dressing up in costumes comes from the ancient Celts. They believed that this time of year the border between the afterlife and this world is weakened and spirits could pass through and harm them. So they would in turn dress in masks to keep the bad spirits away.
Ok enough History; Let’s get on to the Costumes and Shoes!
First up is another classic that returns time after time. The Cowgirl costume is also good to have on hand for any western themed parties that can happen all throughout the year. Plus cowboy boots never go out of style.

Next up we have the ever popular Gangster. No, I”m not talking about being a GangstA for Halloween; I’m talking about being a Mobster a’la Al Capone. Machine Guns, Pocket Watches, and Fedoras are the perfect accessories to bring this look together.

One of the biggest stars on the planet right now is Lady Gaga. I’ve seen pictures of the fans that go to her concerts and dress like her and the homemade costumes are fabulous. One of my personal favorite looks that she has worn is most definitely the “Bubble Dress.” I better see someone wearing this out on Halloween.
