Final girl energy but make it 1978. This look is inspired by classic slasher films — cozy knits, worn denim, and just a hint of danger. If Laurie Strode had a moodboard, it’d look like this. Save this if you’re already planning spooky season outfits 🖤 Follow @witchyandwovenshop on TikTok for n

I wore a Goodwill costume from the 90s!
This costume is reminiscent of a Captain America Show Girl and flight stewardess all in one. I was fighting it the whole night to keep the cheeks covered, and I bet I would’ve made a lot of money had I been bartending instead of running the costume contests 🥵 #goodwillgems💎 #halloweencostume
