How to Make Your Work Outfit Halloween Ready

Y’all I missed one post and then that turned into two posts last week and things kind of snowballed. {Why is that always the case?} I had a post all ready to go Monday but to be honest when I woke up and heard the news about Las Vegas, I had no desire to hit publish or promote new content. I hope those of you affected by the tragic events know that I’m thinking of you and those of you that weren’t but are watching are practicing self-care during this emotionally difficult time.

Today I’m back and since it’s the first Wednesday of the month, which means I’m teaming up with my How I Style It ladies! This month we’re all embracing October by sharing looks inspired by Halloween. I wanted to share an easy DIY Chill Pill costume that’s appropriate for the office and easy to assemble.

Halloween Party Favors

Gifting is one of my favorite things for a wide variety of reasons: I love shopping, people are so touched when you show them appreciation and it brings in my creative side.

shop the post: scalloped popcorn boxes + 1.5″ monogram decals + halloween box sign
I was minding my own business at Target when I saw these popcorn holders in the dollar section and knew they’d be the perfect little something to spruce up.

As shown, they came in a black with white polka dots, white with black stripes and white with orange chevron that is perfect for Halloween. I volunteer with a local chapter of my sorority and thought these would be super cute for the girls that live in our house.

While the containers are super cute, I decide to upgrade them by ordering monogram decals. I opted for 1.5″ decals in a metallic gold and to just do first and last initials. This size decal typically runs at under $3.

The end result was really cute! I love the gold metallic monograms that personalized the gift and plan on sitting a small card in front of each box that says “Housing Corp is sweet on you!”

There’s still plenty of time before Halloween to make a set of your own for an upcoming party, friends, coworkers or your little ones.
