"As a fashion girl, I can&amp;#x27;t help it. I want to look festive on Halloween, but I still want to look chic (i.e., I&amp;#x27;m not down with the full-on costume). So, for the past few years, I&amp;#x27;ve been using Halloween as an excuse to sport the more outlandish items in my closet that I rarely have an excuse to wear (blue faux fur, bedazzled cat ears, all things shimmery and sequined...you get the picture). Thankfully, I&amp;#x27;m not alone in this, and some of my favorite online retailers carry tons of super-cute options to put together a fun/spooky/sexy outfit with the click of a button. Radiation Skirt, $68, nastygal.com DIY alien, anyone? I&amp;#x27;m kind of falling for this quirky skirt from UNIF. Throw on a denim jacket and some glitter eyeliner and you&amp;#x27;re ready for an adventure. Catty Cropped Sweater, $22.80, forever21.com The new Bats &amp;amp; Cats Collection at Forever 21 is your one-stop shop for anything and everything you could need come the 31st. My personal fave is this cheeky cropped sweater. Paired it with some skinny leather pants and you&amp;#x27;ve got an updated version of the classic Catwoman costume. Mermaid Sequin Skirt, $268, freepeople.com Introducing the most lustworthy maxiskirt on the market&amp;amp;#8212;this sequined number will take you from Halloween to New Year&amp;#x27;s Eve. Add some major Gaga-esque mermaid hair and voila! Urban Renewal Vintage Halloween Sweatshirt, $34, urbanoutfitters.com Remember that jack-o&amp;#x27;-lantern costume you rocked as a baby? Yeah, that one. I&amp;#x27;m loving this adorable throwback, which would bring just the right amount of festivity to a jeans-and-tee combo. Charles Philp Olimpia Skull Loafers, $195, shopbop.com A little Goth never hurt anybody. Go for a spooky take on the slipper trend with these wear-with-anything loafers. ASOS Cat-Ears Veil Headband, $16.88, asos.com I have more animal ear headbands than I&amp;#x27;d like to admit, and these most definitely need to be added to the rotation. Seeing as I&amp;#x27;m still obsessing over SJP&amp;#x27;s custom L&amp;#x27;Wren Scott mouse ears from last year, I&amp;#x27;m ready to rock these with a serious cat-eye (Nikki got the inside scoop on the look here) and a killer LBD. Topshop X-Ray Skeleton Print Leggings, $50, topshop.com Hoping to stay comfy but still cute and costumey? Look no further. With a leather jacket and your go-to ankle booties, you&amp;#x27;ve got the ultimate fright-night look. Will you be dressing up this Halloween or opting for pieces like these? Which are your favorites? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
