Vintage can be pricey but remember that your outfit doesn’t have to be a one-hit-wonder. It’s a good idea to invest in something really cool that you’ll wear again.

Instead, why not create something from what you already own? Make a vampire’s cape out of a bin bag or use your bedsheet to become a ghost!
