Bookish Halloween Costumes Day 5 (Rites of Passage)

Bookish Halloween Costumes Day 5

 
My goal for these Bookish Halloween Costumes is giving you ideas that you already have in your closet. Some of the things that I put up there might be far fetched as to what you have around, but who knows?
 
I really enjoyed Rites of Passage, and recreating what (I imagine) Sam was wearing in the book shouldn't be that hard....
This was my idea:
 
 
 
Let me know in the comments below what you would add to this look, or if you decide to be one of these characters, shoot me a picture on twitter @embookbutterfly I would love to see it!
 
 
***Note*** All of these bookish costumes are to my best memory what the character would wear in the book (or what I imagine they were wearing).....I don't claim to be an expert of the characters different fashion tastes. I am just here to offer cheap and sensible options for an awesome costume that will celebrate all of your bookishness (and mine!)

Bookish Halloween Costumes Day 3 (Throne of Glass)

Bookish Halloween Costumes Day 3

 
My goal for these Bookish Halloween Costumes is giving you ideas that you already have in your closet. Some of the things that I put up there might be far fetched as to what you have around, but who knows?
 
If you have read Throne of Glass, then you know that Celaena is awesome. She just is....And if you haven't read Throne of Glass, then I suggest you do immediately (and then come back here and tell me what you thought!)
 
(Celaena is probably hiding something behind that hairclip no?)
 
 
 
This is what I imagined Celaena would wear while at the court of the king....

Bookish Halloween Costumes Day 2 (Gallagher Girls)

Bookish Halloween Costumes Day 2

My goal for these Bookish Halloween Costumes is giving you ideas that you already have in your closet. Some of the things that I put up there might be far fetched as to what you have around, but who knows?
 
What better way to celebrate Halloween than being your favorite spy? Believe me, most people have a plaid skirt lying around somewere, and pair it with a sweater, a blazer, or just a button down shirt you have a Gallagher Girl.
Better yet, if you have a red strapless dress around, you can go as Cammie in a certain scene :-)
 
Below are some costume suggestions for different ways to be Cammie, but if you customize just a few simple different ways, you could definitely change these to be a different Gallagher Girl!

My goal for these Bookish Halloween Costumes is giving you ideas that you already have in your closet. Some of the things that I put up there might be far fetched as to what you have around, but who knows?
 
I LOVE the Lunar Chronicles....The series is AMAZING.
So, what better costume could I have in mind, but dressing up like on of each of The Lunar Chronicles characters?
 
Cinder:
 
Scarlet:

 
Cress:
 
Winter:

Winter is complete guesswork on my side since I have yet to read the book....But this is what I would imagine a princess of the moon wearing.
