If you haven’t seen or heard of Stranger Things, first things first: get yourself to Netflix now! And if you have seen it, then I know you too love the Netflix-original series. The series has everything you could want with mystery, fear, nostalgia and the cutest friendships. While I love all the characters, I am such a huge fan of Eleven. So what better way to show your admiration for Stranger Things than by emulating one of the characters for Halloween?! Keep reading to see how to be your own Eleven for Halloween this year.
With a few Amazon searches and a small budget I was able to quickly pull together an Eleven-inspired costume. Luckily, one of Eleven’s most identifiable “looks” is all items that are pretty easy to find.
Here’s what you’ll need for an Eleven costume:
- Pink Dress w/ Peter Pan Collar or purchase collar separately
- Blonde Wig
- Knee-High Socks with Stripes
- White Sneakers
- Blue Windbreaker Jacket
- Optional: Eggo Waffle Box
- Optional: Fake Blood for a bloody runny nose
This is the look I”m planning for Halloween and I’m so excited. It will be comfortable and warm. Plus, it’s always fun to wear a wig and really commit to a different persona.
I’ve linked to the Amazon products I purchased for this costume below:
