How to Make a Sexy Gypsy Costume

Dressing as a gypsy for Halloween is inexpensive.

Halloween is the perfect time of year to step out of your comfort zone and become someone you aren't in real life. Often, it is quite difficult to find the perfect costume, especially for adults. Dressing up as a sexy gypsy can be as easy as rifling through your own closet and it is inexpensive as well.

• Peasant-style white blouse
• Short ruffled or layered skirt
• Long black wig
• Scarves
• Bangles
• Hoop earrings
• Black eyeliner
• Smoky eye shadow
