Alexa here. Every year my desire to arrive at the perfect Halloween costume sees me trolling the internet for ideas. Unlike my husband, who can throw together the perfect Carl Spackler costume in 10 minutes, I need to plan ahead, and I can't sew well enough to get really creative. Someday I'll create the perfect Maude Lebowski Valkyrie look, but this year, on my daughter's orders, I'm going as a chicken. Here are some looks I'd rather be wearing for Halloween.
A Black Swan Rodarte replica, $700, from this shop.
Take a flowered house dress, some duct tape, and this book, and you'd have the perfect Geena Davis Beetlejuice look.

Fabulous Marilyn and Joan recreations from this shop.
Nothing against Anne or Halle, but Michelle will always be my favorite Catwoman. Costume available here, if you have $4000 handy.
Add braids to these and you have a good start on a Mattie costume.
