Halloween in Your Closet: Katniss Everdeen

Hi everyone! Halloween is in less than a week, and I have another inspired costume for you - Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games!

Katnis Everdeen, Hunger Games
During the first movie, I was in love with all of Cinna's costume designs for Katniss. Everything was super sleek and wearable for everyday. Okay, maybe not the costume itself (leather jumpsuit with super structured sleeves isn't really me), but they definitely offered a lot of inspiration.

 I was inspired by all the different looks in the above photos, and combined them all for a simple Halloween costume any girl could pull out of her closet. My main inspiration was her outfit entering into the opening ceremonies. I chose a leather jacket and black Rag & Bone coated skinny jeans (the sheen sort of mimics leather) to mimic the jumpsuit. To add a pop of colour, I chose a light circle scarf from American Apparel ala the promotional picture for Catching Fire (bottom left).

 I think Katniss' trademark is her braid. I wasn't able to get a good photo of mine, but you can see that I braided to one side of my head here. A super easy way to get Katniss' braid is to do a dutch braid and working it diagonally so that it starts on one side and wraps around to the other. Pick out a few strands to loosen it and make it a bit messy and lived in (as Hunger Games participant) and viola!

Again, going for that sleek leather look from the opening ceremony, I chose a pair of black-over-the-knee boots. They'd be perfect for traversing the Hunger Games in style as well.
