Costume Inspiration and DIY TipsLadies and gents, Halloween season is upon us. And that means it’s time to create your costume. Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a list of the Top Costumes of 2013 to serve as inspiration:

1

Not only do people dig Duck Dynasty as a show, they also dig its camouflaged cast of characters. Securing the DD look is simple, and Goodwill has the essentials to help you do it. Pair camo pants with a camo shirt and some good old fashioned work boots. Now it’s time to accessorize. We’ve got wigs, beards, and bandanas – all at great prices – to help complete your Duck Dynasty costume. Top it all off with a pair of shades, and consider yourself part of the Dynasty.

2. Flapper

3. Mayhem

Gatsby was huge this year, and so are flapper costumes. Achieving the flapper look can be done in a few easy steps. Find a long dress and pair it with some fun accessories. Try a string of costume pearls, a feathered headband, tights, and a boa. Tie it all together with a bob haircut wig and you’ll convince everyone you jus stepped out of a 1920s time capsule.

Everyone’s favorite calamity is easy to achieve. Find a suit at your local Goodwill – we have a huge selection – and pair it with a sweatband. Add to that a set of weights and some makeup to achieve the “Ouch! That hurt!” look. You’ll be convincing enough that you’ll probably make an insurance sale or two.

The pop star and American Idol host is known for her crazy style, and achieving her look isn’t as hard as you’d think. The possibilities are endless! We recommend going for bold colors and wild prints. Pair some flashy pants and an animal print top and a daring pair of shoes. Now it’s time for the hair – the famous Minaj hair. We’ve got plenty of wigs along with washable color hairsprays – your preference. Now add some fake eyelashes and the most colorful makeup you can find, and consider yourself Ms. Minaj.

We’re pretty convinced that the zombie costume will never go out of style. Need to achieve the look? We can help. Find any outfit you can think up – you’re going to destroy it so it doesn’t matter – and shred away. Rip and tear until you think your costume is tattered enough. Now it’s time for the fake blood, and we’ve got plenty of it! Apply fake blood to the outfit and your costume is set. But the most important part of the zombie look is the makeup. Luckily, we’ve created a DIY video to show you how it’s done.
