Cyndi Lauper Halloween Costumes Funky 80's Costume Ideas

Sept. 26, 2009 - PRLog -- Easy to Put Together:  Cyndi Lauper Halloween Costumes are perfect for those of you who remember Cyndi's album, "She's so Unusual", with her trademark songs on it.  Songs like "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "Time After Time", "All Through the Night", "She Bop", "Money Changes Everything" and "When You Were Mine".  Well, you can relive those funky, punky days of the 1980's this Halloween when you buy or put together your own Cyndi Lauper Halloween costume, and you can find those ideas at PartyIdeasParade.com.

With Halloween right around the corner you're going to need a Halloween costume.  The 1980's offer some of the most fantastic and fun fashions to relive during Halloween.  In fact, the iconic 80's figure Cyndi Lauper is a fantastic person to center your costume
around.  In fact, you can put  together your own costume.

The first thing that you need to do is to take some time to research the fashion of the 1980's.  Spend some time looking at pictures online and recognizing the trends of the time.  The 80's were rich in bright colors, and multiple colors in one outfit.  Accessories also ruled the fashion rules.

Hair was an accessory of it's own in the 1980's, and Cyndi Lauper's hair was no exception.  She played with color and style, and her signature style would be really tough to replicate.  Instead, you might want to look at purchasing a Cyndi Lauper wig for your Halloween
costume.

For any Cyndi Lauper Halloween costumes leggings are a must.  Lucky for you they are back in style, but they originated in the 80's, and you need to be sure that you find some for yourself.  Cyndi Lauper Halloween costumes have to have brightly colored leggings.  The brighter the neon the better.  Over top of these leggings you must have a crinoline skirt
with a contrasting color.  Matching is not in the fashion vocabulary of the 80's.

Now, what about choosing your shoes.  Bright pumps are the perfect addition to Cyndi Lauper Halloween costumes.  Heels add a lot of flair to your look, but if you need to be comfortable choose some fun and bright flats or even a pair of army boots.

Layering was big in the 80's, and it is an essential element of the famous Cyndi Lauper look.  Again, contrast is key here so the more that you put together different tops the more authentic your look is. Do not be afraid to take some scissors to your top to cut out the neck
so that it falls off your shoulder.  Shirts made of netting or lace are also a great addition.

Cyndi Lauper Halloween costumes are not perfect until you add the accessories.  She was notorious for wearing dangling earrings, gloves, necklaces, and bracelets.  The key is to pile it on.  Do not edit your accessories to get the most authentic look.

Of course the final touch on your Cyndi Lauper Halloween costume is  the make up.  Basically, the 80's allowed for people to have as much fun as they wanted with makeup.  Use the same bright colors that you had incorporated into your outfit.  Do not be afraid to be bold!  Have fun, and stand out because that is what Cyndi Lauper would do!
