Time to Start Thinking Halloween Costumes with Vintage Dresses

Fine, we have the July 4th holiday behind us. The start of school will be coming quickly and following fast behind is Halloween. It's really the next great holiday we get to celebrate. You may think it's a little early for this particular holiday, but I enjoy working towards the next holiday early.

It's simple things, like starting to think of what costume I will wear this year. I like to take notes about good possibilities, then later I can narrow down my list. Right now, vintage dresses are big on my list. Turning myself into a movie star from the 1940's or 1950's would be a glamor way to go.

Even just a fun retro look, whether I look like a famous person or not, is high on my list, too. All the right factors need to come together to make this look great. The vintage dress starts it all off. Then the addition of the right wig or hat, the shoes, the handbag, even the makeup needs to work to create the total effect.

But the vintage look isn't just for Halloween. Think about a fun masked party you might have to close summer. Vintage dresses are usually cooler, with short sleeves, and make for a great way to show up for just about any kind of party.
