Still not sure what to be this Halloween? Check out these easy costume ideas; so easy anyone can do it! Whatever you decide, just have fun with it. Don't take yourself too seriously...that's scary!

Mad Hatter & Anonymous Cop

Buy a top hat or cop hat, a little face make up and colored hairspray, grab an old scarf or two and some funky clothes and you have yourself a couple clever outfits!

Dia De Los Muertos

Do a Google images search for the design you like, grab some face paint and get to doodling.  Accompany this with a suit and tie or button up and vest, a hat or super funky hair doooo and your outfit is complete.

PIRATES

Simply dress in black & white & red, tie your hair back with a scarf or bandana, find some funky striped socks to go with old pajamas pants or capri's and a tank top.  Accessories should include rings, bling, fish nets, toy gun or sword, and a brew.

Werewolf

All you need for this one is hair goop so you can slick it back, face make up, fangs, and an outfit to match.

Naughty School Girl or Zoombie Cowgirl

Throw on a mini skirt and heels and tie your hair back in cute pig tails for the school girl and unbutton your shirt and wear fish nets for the naughty.  Zombie Cowgirl is as simple as blue jeans, a flannel or brown jacket, cowgirl hat, low pontytails and face paint. 

LEATHERFACE, oldie but goodie!

Texas Chain Massacre anyone? We had to throw this in for you horror buffs! Dig out an old mask or get a cheap one and cut it down so it covers from forehead to nose. Use your eyebrow pencil or something like wise to give it the stitched on look.

Summer means some serious face time for your feet. We should sport some sandals sometimes. But beware as sandals can be too clunky, too chunky, too hippie, or just plain ugly. Read these rules and you'll be sporting your sandals in style.

Most of us bois and butches had some Dr. Martens at some point. The chunky black shoe with yellow stitching certainly served it's purpose at times. But summer isn't the time for cumbersome footwear. Instead, choose light and carefree sandals and avoid Docs or other sandals that look like a block of wood on your foot. The bulky uppers with thick foam and rubber-soles are a definite don't.

One of the worst designs in the world of sandals are the ones made for serious outdoor activity. You know the ones, they have those weird cutouts like your foot is in some type of kinky bondage. We don't doubt their comfort or utility with the huge sole and those hideous synthetic materials. However, function should never wipe out style. If you’re going to take a hike, do it in hiking boots.

It’s difficult to track down the culprit who created the sock and sandal combination. However, it’s funny to point out the offenders every summer. If it's so cold you need to wear socks, then don't wear sandals and you'll avoid looking like a stupid tourist.

Unless you’re a soccer player headed to or from a game, leave the athletic slip-ons at home. It may be easy and comfortable to slip into a lightweight foam and rubber sandal, but it’s not a statement you ever want to make outside your sport of choice. No matter how your wear the slide, it will always make you look like you just came from practice. Even Hope Solo can't defend this one.

Birkenstocks and Tevas are really only suited for a 60's sit-in. You probably owned at least one pair of these granola shoes for tree hugging camp and wore them with your baggy femiinism T-shirt, some cargo shorts and a hip hemp necklace. Sorry to say, but It’s time to grow out of your granola dyke stage. A women's sandal should channel casual sophistication, not a bra burning.
