Accessories can make your costume stand out from the crowd. Where would Harry Potter be without his wand? The right accessory can help make you a costume contest winner. Best of all, these accessories can be re-used every year, in vastly different costumes. Think outside the box, and build your costume around your accessories, not the other way around.

• Lady Gaga Wig – This year, use it with your Lady Gaga costume. Next year, you can use it to accentuate a 60′s costume, or even wear it when you’re dressed as a Rock Star. Trick or treat as Alice in Wonderland. The possibilities are nearly endless.

• Thigh High Boots can be worn with a sexy pirate wench costume, and Vampire Queen costumes. There are tons of ways and costumes that you can use these with.

• A Black Velvet Hooded Cape can be worn over a vampire costume, a Harry Potter costume, or over a period costume. A good quality cape will last you a long time, and you can use it year after year.

• Rhinestone Cat Eye Glasses have multiple uses. Rock Stars wear them. Pair your cat eye rhinestone glitter glasses with the Lady Gaga wig in a bouncy pony tail and a poodle skirt and go as a 50′s girl.

You can build your Halloween costume around a single great accessory. The right accessory can be used over and over again, in a multitude of ways.
