Coraline Halloween Outfit That Requires Minimum Effort

Last week I shared with your #JasperBean’s Halloween outfit and today I wanted to share mine with you. This year halloween falls on a work day. In my eyes, as a mummy, a halloween outfit requires minimum effort or at least that’s what I am aiming for. So an outfit that could be thrown together with pieces I already had in the wardrobe without looking too quirky during office hours is essential.

One of my favourite fantasy horror animation is Coraline and I wanted to dress up as the heroine.

The Outfit

Jumper: You can get this orange one I’m wearing from H&M.

Black Skirt: I’ve had my black skirt for years, but you can find a similar one here.

Yellow Boots: You can’t see them in my pictures, but I wore my high top yellow Converse.

I also had a yellow jacket from Boden, but didn’t end up wearing it because it was just way too warm!

Yellow Raincoat

Coraline does have other outfit choices in the film such as blue jeans, a red skirt, blue jumper etc… so you can mix and match to suit your taste and wardrobe.

Because it’s Halloween…

For the halloween twist, I added a half sewn button eye with some fake blood. I DIY-ed this with a button, paper clip, thread and double sided body tape. I shaped the paper clip into a needle and then thread one side through the button and stuck it down with lots of cellotape so that that it wouldn’t move or poke me straight in the eye if there was some accident…

For extra Coraline points, I also brought my mini Coraline doll – this is the first time she’s ever been out of her box!

This is such an easily great costume! Coraline was my sister’s favourite movie this time last year she would’ve loved this!

Great imagination. You made it look so easy. One of my favorite movies.

Such a cute and quick costume idea!

I think the best Halloween costumes are the simple creative ones. I just got back from our company Halloween lunch, and the winner was my coworker who dressed up as a My Buddy doll. It was just a ridiculous wig and a pair of overalls, but everyone loved it. Great job.

I don’t celebrate Halloween, but this looks like an easy costume to copy for those that do celebrate the holiday.

What a great looking costume! I love how it doesn’t require too much work but you would never be able to tell with the finished product!

how scary! you look just like her! this is such a good costume 🙂



2 November 2017 at 3:21 pm

Wow, you really worked the end result! Very creative. I love DIY costumes!



2 November 2017 at 5:34 pm

Love the costume! Such a creative idea and it does seem really simple. Great post 🙂

I love this! Super creative and does have that creepy tone that can’t help but make you stand out. This movie terrified me as a child but I still love it!



2 November 2017 at 5:47 pm

This is insanely simple but also insanely creative! Love the little touches!



2 November 2017 at 7:22 pm

Very creative way to think about a costume. Much better than a generic store bought one



2 November 2017 at 7:46 pm

This is so creative! You did a great job with your costume!



2 November 2017 at 11:23 pm

Really awesome costume. I might have to do this next year. Its one of my favorite movies from Laika.



5 November 2017 at 7:43 am

Oh you look fab!!! And more then a little bit creepy. We’ve never watched the film because I thought it might be too scary for the kids. Well done for winning best costume, very deservedly. Thanks for linking up to the #bigpinklink this week.
