Girl On Fire

This Halloween I didn't really have the time or money to buy a costume so I decided to see what I could come up with out of my own closet. After looking around I ended up on finding a great Katniss Everdeen costume that cost me almost nothing!

1. What are you wearing? How long have you owned these items?

· Levi's Blue Peasant Top
· Vintage Army Jacket

· The Hunger Games movie 'Mockingjay Pin'

· Levi's Black Leggings

· Reflection Black Boots

· Target Bow & Arrow Set

The only items that I didn't already own for this costume were the bow and arrow which I purchased at Target for $10. Every other part of my outfit came from my closet and I have owned them all for at least 6 months.

2. Where are you going today?

I went to work!

3. What was your outfit inspiration? What were you trying to say?

My inspiration was The Hunger Games' main character 'Katniss Everdeen' who I was portraying in my costume. I wanted to have something fun to wear for Halloween that I could still wear to work and this costume totally worked for both!

4. How does this outfit/item make you feel? 

It made me feel great to know that I didn't have to spend over $100 to get a great costume for Halloween. I have spent so much money in the past on an outfit I would only wear once and the fact that I pulled 99% of my costume out of my closet from items I wear everyday is just awesome!

5. What comments or reactions if any have you gotten?

I got a few comments on my costume actually so it is clear that it was definitely worth the whole $10 I spent on it! :)

I even learned how to braid my hair the way they braid it in the movie. Talk about authentic! ;)
