I have never been one to show a lot of skin. I love to feel comfortable, yet fashionable in every social setting.

I know many young women to say the same, but why is it that one night a year our morals and style fly out the window?

Halloween to college students is known for dressing like your favorite character, no matter who they are, and trying to make it as skimpy as possible.

“I want to be Kim Kardashian for Halloween.” Sounds great, just make sure you don’t go as far as Kim K. in her sex tape days.

The price we pay for costumes of such little and horrible quality material is nuts.

Walking through Spirit Halloween any passer by can see the $50 price tags on most women’s costumes.

As college students that have part time jobs and bills to pay, why should we spend money on polyester rags.

I’m not saying that women can’t be comfortable with their sexuality. If Miley has taught us anything this year it is that women are very sexual beings.

All I ask is that you think about your outfit before purchase or wear. Are you going to be comfortable and confident in it?

If you want to have a sultry costume, go for it. But leave some things for the imagination. Go ahead, show some cleavage, just don’t show so much you look like Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl.

Confidence is key in making any look fabulous. If your outfit is too short or too tight you may be pulling and tugging on spandex rather than enjoying a fun-filled holiday.

On the flipside I’m not suggesting you wear a bed sheet with two eye holes cut out of it either. Show your personality and have fun.

I guess that is what we have forgotten about this holiday. It’s about kids dressing up and getting tons of candy.

Have fun. Show your personality and your crazy side. I just don’t honestly think one’s personality sums up to being Pocahottie with braids and a beaded mini skirt.

And let’s not forget it’s finally getting cold outside. Why freeze when you can have fun?

Guys would like the sparse clothed witch or fishnet zombie bride, but they will like creativity a lot more.

Having the ability to make fun of yourself or looking a little crazy is something I wish I had more of.

Modest is hottest when you show skin in moderation, are comfortable, confident and ready to have a blast.

So what is an alternative to buying the million dollar polyester rags? If you like to be creative think about a Do-It-Yourself costume.

Pinterest is always a click away to help with any DIY project and should be packed right now with last minute Halloween costume ideas.

If DIY isn’t your thing, just open your closet. What outfit could be transformed into a great costume? As college students we are expanding our closet with business professional attire. Why not be a Real Housewife of Monroe?

The possibilities are endless when it comes to outfits for Halloween. No need in wasting money or feeling uncomfortable.
