Looking for a creative Halloween costume for your kid? Check out these pop culture Halloween costumes. Some are DIY Halloween costumes and others take some skill, but they are all awesome!

This year was the first year Mazzy made an official Halloween costume request. She wants to be Tinkerbell.

LAME, I know.

I realize now the window is very small when you can dress your child up in a cool costume that represents your love of pop culture as opposed to their own. In a few short years, your kids will be demanding pre-packaged Spiderman costumes and store-bought Cinderellas.

In other words, if I ever dreamed of dressing Harlow as Betty Draper or Joan Holloway— THE TIME IS NOW.
