It’s finally October, and although we’re only a few days into the month, we have to admit that we may or may not have already planned our complete costumes from head to toe… (not sorry!). It’s one night a year that we get to take on a totally different look and persona, and there’s nothing worse than Halloween sneaking up on you (boo!), and being left without a single idea of what to wear to celebrate the spooky holiday. BUT, we’ve finally learned our lesson and decided to get ahead this year so we’re not left throwing something together at the last minute. (Planning ahead… what a novel idea, right?) We’re firm believers that one cannot be “too excited” about Halloween—especially when we’re using some of our favorite GM prints as our inspiration for our fright-night looks. Alright, so these getups might not be “scary” per se, but let’s just say they are scary good, and we can’t wait to see how you put your own spin on these fun ensembles. To get you started, we’re sharing our personal take on five different costumes inspired by GM prints, and we’re already itching to debut them at every Halloween party we can find! But enough talk, we’ll let the looks speak for themselves…
