I am already thinking about what costume I will wear for Halloween: A Bollywood costume. I think the best ideas and costumes come from shopping at thrift stores, or second hand stores because that’s where accessories come into play: sparkly gold lame scarves, silky skirts and pants, hand-beaded combs and hair clips. Shop at the dollar stores as well to purchase hair extensions, and fake press-on nails to embellish and elongate the hands, since there will be a lot of dancing going on. Bollywood movies are know for their spectacular dance numbers and beautiful costumes.

Some costumes are easily made at home, but in the case of a fireman costume, it may be best to buy it pre-assembled. There are some great kids firefighter costumes out there, some of which include the fire helmet, a bullhorn, a toy fire extinguisher and a badge. So if your child wants to be a hero at Halloween, or just have fun pretending to be one anytime of the year, a fireman costume is a great choice.

Not all firefighter suits are red. Some are yellow, tan or even black. Make you sure you know which kind your child wants before buying.

If you are looking for a costume that personifies femininity, playfulness and magic, a Tinkerbell costume is an ideal choice. Sprinkling fairy dust with a wave of their wand, fairies can make your dreams come true. No wonder they have captured our imagination. If you would like to be Tinkerbell for one night, look for a costume that includes butterfly-like wings and a wand. Some outfits include a headpiece. All you need to provide is the magic.

You should know what kind of shoes you will wear before buying a costume. If you have nothing that will be appropriate, you may want to buy a pair that will suit the costume, and that you will hopefully be able to wear at other times.
