How to Create a Gothic Schoolgirl Costume That's Just Too Cool
Raid your closet to whip up a classic gothic schoolgirl look that's just the right amount of preppy and aloof.
Step 1: Start with your closet. The foundation for this costume is a preppy black on white short-sleeve dress or blouse-skirt combo. It's solid black, or black and gray pinstripe, with white trim.
Step 2: Add the missing details, like a white oversized tie-on collar, a black wig, and a black umbrella or dark leather bookbag.
Step 3: Complete the look with makeup to make your skin paler and your lips and eye area darker.
Now, you're ready hit the Halloween party, but you just might feel too cool to be bothered.
