Become Ugly Betty This Halloween

Strapped for cash this Halloween season? Aren't we all! Instead of stressing over your ensemble, buy a wig and get hunting in your closet and in thrift stores for the Ugly Betty look. Here are some essentials to get you on your way, and get you looking perfectly Ugly.

What You'll Need:

1. Glasses: If you already wear them, you are good to go. If not, how about checking out the thrift store and buying cheap-o sunglasses, and then punching out the lenses?

2. Brown Wig + Bangs: Don't worry about this one. If your hair is long, brown, and fringed, you are all set. If not, I found a $5 off your $25 purchase coupon from Spirit of Halloween. It's only good for the weekend, so buy now!

3. Colored Tights or Socks: Shocking solid brights are where it's at. Try pairing them with t-straps heels or shiny pumps with stacked heels in a contrasting color or novelty design.

4. Braces: These can also be picked up at Spirit of Halloween for ten bucks.

5. Colorful Separates and a Red Vest: A red vest will make your look more recognizable, and you can belt it for definition over a '70s shirt and skirt set or a '70s frock.

Have fun being Betty Suarez for Halloween!
