I don’t know about you guys, but now that we’re less than two weeks out from Halloween and I’ve been to four parties this week alone, I’m starting to run out of costumes. Fortunately, as I’ve discovered by writing my series on easy Halloween costumes, a fab costume can be created so easily from items you already own!

So far we’ve covered group costumes for your girl squad and pairs costumes for you and your BFF, but this week we’re going to go in a slightly different direction – it’s time for Halloween costumes for you and your pet!

Note: Obviously, don’t bring your pet to a random house party or bar! These looks are aimed at “handing out candy at home”, “hanging out at a friend’s house who knows – and has invited – my dog” or “taking my pet for a Halloween walk.” Also, if your pet hates their costume, take a quick snap if you must, then be kind and remove it! <3

Dorothy and Toto, The Wizard of Oz

Products: Picnic Basket, Shoes, Dress, Socks, Basket with Dog

Is any human/dog friendship more classic than Dorothy and her beloved pup Toto? Probably not.

Even if you don’t have a vintage-inspired gingham dress hanging in your closet, the same effect can be achieved with any light blue dress layered over a white shirt. Just be sure to rock Judy Garland’s iconic pigtails (hair tutorial here!). White lacy socks and any red shoes (assuming you don’t own ruby slippers, ahem) are obviously necessary.

Now for your pal: Store your stuff in a picnic basket, grab your dog, and you’re ready to go! And of course, if you don’t have a real dog, solve the problem with an adorable plush Toto in an equally precious basket. (Bonus: Fake Toto can actually be carried in the basket.)
