 Real Frida Kahlo

Real Frida Kahlo 
Last year, I was inspired to dress as the late beautiful artist, Frida Kahlo for Halloween. I remember learning about her political and sexual revolutionary art. Also, watching her biography movie (2002) featuring Salma Hayek who plays the role of her character. 

Drum roll please.

<< I did not have to walk into a Spirit Halloween Costume store for this look. Believe it or not, everything I'm wearing are different pieces of my own
wardrobe in my closet. Halloween costumes nowadays are way too overpriced. It's more organic this way when you create a whole costume using your own clothes. Honestly, the only part I had to purchase and make is the flower crown my sister helped me make. Everything else, mine mine mine.

Sad trombone.

Unfortunately, my unibrow is not real. (I wish) 
Frida wins. You can do this using black or brown eye pencil depending on your brow colors. Frida's unibrow is one of her greatest trademarks and this is what makes her so beautiful. 

Last year, '12 Halloween, I remember scanning  through pages of American Apparel's Magazine Halloween edition. I was impressed by the the costume layouts worn on each of the models. Two words: Genius & Innovative. I couldn't help but be inspired by all of the creative costumes using only basics. This year's lookbook stars Frida Kahlo. Notice anything similar?

Still trying to figure out my costume this year. I don't care what anyone says Age is nothing but a number when it's Halloween. Here's what I came up with so far.








1. Robert Smith (The Cure)
2. Sarah Bailey from the movie (The Craft 1996)
3 Chimney Sweeper

Aaaaaand that's it so far. Any suggestions? Feel free to comment down below. Hope this helped with your costumes!
