Homer & Marge Simpson

A simple and easy classic, if you don’t mind your hair being blue for one day! Marge will need: a green strapless dress, a pearl necklace and blue wig. You can also tease your hair and use lots of hairspray to get the Marge “do” . Homer needs: a white short sleeved polo, blue jeans ,a bald head ( you can purchase a bald-wig cap) and you could carry around a donut or beer mug for added effect! Marge Simpson

Zombies

You’re dressing up as the undead which leaves you with many options. You could be zombie prom king and queen, zombie cheerleaders, or even wear your regular clothes. The thing that makes the zombie outfit complete is the makeup. You can purchase a Halloween make up kit at various drugstores or Halloween specialty stores and use the colors on your face and skin. Get some fake blood to splash on your clothes and body as well.
