So here’s the thing! We’re hosting a Halloween party this year (DH’s idea not mine!) so I need an outfit that doesn’t look half-hearted.

You could probably get away with purple.

When I was at school a friend wore a grey witch's costume and looked very good indeed.

DS went to a Halloween party as a Smurf. White pillowcase for a hat. Blue clothes, blue dyed hair and blue coloured skin. Looked great, didn't wash out for days.
You could try something less permanent?

Did that one year for GD. School uniform colour happened to be red, so she probably already had the red gym leotard and tights. Added a bit of organza for the skirt and you can't see it but there was a long 'tail' pinned to the back. Glittered card for the fork and mask

Having said I don’t suit black, guess what I’ve gone for? Black!
