This Halloween, don't go tacky, go vintage -- here's how

When it comes to Halloween, some of us are perfectly content with strolling into Kmart and grabbing a cheap plastic-and-nylon version of a costume, while others seek out something more creative (and comfortable). With authenticity in mind, three of our staffers swung by vintage mecca Screaming Mimi’s to get outfitted by owner Laura Wills in authentic threads from a bygone era. The result? Pretty flawless Halloween costumes.

Not into committing to a full Halloween look? We adore Screaming Mimi’s handmade, semi-creepy leather masks. We’d throw one on with whatever we felt like stepping out in, come Halloween.
