101 MORE Halloween Costumes for Women - Clever Girls Edition

101 MORE Halloween Costumes for Women - Clever Girls Edition

Halloween is near, so I put together a fun lady-centric costume guide. If you want to be a cool girl, you'll want a cool girl costume. If you don't care whether you are a cool girl or not (because Amy Dunne did get some things right), then you probably still want a decent costume that is relatively warm/comfortable, maybe has pockets, and isn't identical to like 10 other people's costumes. If you are not a girl, by all means - pick through this guide and steal all my ideas. I can tell you with 95% certainty that I'm not doing anything for Halloween and I'd like to live vicariously through you all.

I've divided the guide up into 10 categories, you clever SOBs:

PS: You'll notice that I named this article 101 MORE Halloween Costumes for Women, implying I have another lady-centric costume guide. That's because I do have one. It's just not on this blog. That guide was mega popular on Pinterest last year. I'm bragging now, and I don't care.
