halloween costumes 2 by bpaula featuring white jewelry

What's more glamorous than dressing up as Marilyn Monroe?
White dress, white heels, blonde wig, red lipstick & nails.  

It's time to start planning your Halloween costumes, ladies!  And while it's super easy to purchase a costume online or at a store, I have a feeling that since you're visiting Lovely Undergrad... you're looking for something a bit more creative, thrifty, and lovely, huh?  Last year I shared lots of cute costumes I came across on Polyvore.  But to save you the time of creeping back through my archives, I've rounded all of them up in this one single post.  

 Stay tuned for upcoming posts that are sure to inspire you some more!  And if you're pulling together a super-creative or on-a-tight-budget (or both!) costume, email me and let me know about it!
