I am a Wednesday's child. Full of woe. (You know the rhyme, right?) So it makes sense for me to dress up this halloween as Wednesday Addams, one of my key reference points waaaay back when I was forming my personality. (My other personal inspiration is Daria (yes, my personal development was heavily based on a cartoon... And what?!), but I went as her last year so I decided to shake it up a little this year. Well, swap one sarcastic, caustic, enormously witty character for another sarcastic, caustic, enormously witty character. And it's so easy! I chose ten simple tutorials to make the outfit and accessories - all chosen to turn my trusty LBD into a costume fit for a fabulously deadpan goth girl! I wanted to give it a bit of a grown-up twist, so I went with the smoky eye and fishtail braids, but I also wanted to keep the look playful, which is where the eyeball ribbon bows come in (these bows would also look pretty cool pinned to a pair of mary janes, but I chose the shoe wings tutorial - which can be used to make shapes of your choice for your shoes; not just wings. I'm thinking axes or daggers.) Adding a white peter pan collar completes the foundations of your outfit, and now all that's left is to accessorise! I've chosen a poison pendant, rosary beads, a doll head, some painted tights (mine are crosses, not polka dots, just for that extra gothic flair), and a book clutch (you could fashion a spellbook, or maybe a prayer book if you want to be a bit controversial! And you could easily add a strap to make this bag more manageable). And there you have it! Wednesday!

Markee recreates the costume of Kim Novak in Hitchcock's Vertigo for today's Halloween #DIYTheLook.

Kim Novak was one of Hitchcock's stunning blonde leading ladies, and her wardrobe for her undercover character was full of class. Every detail of her outfit is thought out, from the colour palette, cut and accessories. It's magical to watch her transformation from being an average girl to an upper-class lady as she embodies her double agent role. Hitchcock always makes murder look glamorous!

Markee recreates the vintage look of Joan from Mad Men for today's Halloween DIY The Look.

I love Joan's style because she is sexy and confident in a fully retro wardrobe. She always looks smart, and knows exactly how to dress for her figure and complexion. I love that every aspect of her style is well thought out, from head to toe, she is a inspiration for any modern office gal who wants to exude that 60s secretary vibe.

TheSewingMaven recreates the 80's look of Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan.

Madonna has been a style icon since the 80’s. I love how she stays current and creates memorable trends that are femme noir.

Helen creates a bat inspired costume for today's Halloween DIY The Look.

I love bats, I love the way they flit across the sky in a seemingly random manner and at such a speed that you can never get a good look at them. They're mysterious, cute and a tiny bit scary...I'd like to pay homage to these nocturnal acrobats by creating a really cool bat costume. You could dress all in black and hang upside down but that could be a little difficult and give you a headache. Alternatively you could piece together a much more imaginative costume; you'd need a cool pair of wings and some neat ears of course and then you'd have to decide whether to go for a mask or some smoky eye make up...

Cheryl recreates the costume of Hermione Granger from Harry Potter for today's Halloween look.

Hermione Granger has always been one of my favorite characters - she has ideal characteristics such as intelligence, courage, and wit. While being all of these, she still manages to be put together effortlessly. She isn't concerned with looks, but she always looks good. Her natural face, bold eyebrows, and that wavy hair help to make the grey pleated skirt and Gryffindor cloak she is used to wearing into more of a statement. Though her outfit is simple, she is so much more.

Olivia recreates the costume of The Little Mermaid for today's Halloween DIY The Look.

This Halloween, make a splash with a Little Mermaid costume! Your sparkly tail and fishy friend will be certain to catch people's attention.

MischievousRaven recreates the costume of a dark faerie for today's Halloween DIY The Look.

I always wanted to go slightly gothic in general but never had the courage to go that far. Instead i would happily settle for this dark faerie costume for 1 night of the year x

Nora recreates the dramatic black & red look of Amy Lee from Evanescence.

I've chosen Amy Lee of Evanescence because she's my style icon. I love her mainly red and black look ( as seen in many of my own projects) She's beautiful, talented and successful, and her style is easily replicated as although dramatic, it's basically quite simple.

Kelly from So Much To Make recreates the classic style of The Duchess Of Cambridge.

Kate Middleton's style is the epitome of classic. Pieces inspired by her style are the kind you keep in your closet for years. They endure and will remain go-to wardrobe staples while the fads and trends fall by the wayside.
