    In your quest for the ultimate Halloween costume this year, you have a few options. For one, you can spend $60+ on a kitschy packaged costume that at least 10 other people will also be wearing... and chances are you'll never touch it again. Secondly, you can go the clever route and piece together your own costume.. and after a dozen trips to a handful of stores and hundreds of dollars later, you'll have the best Halloween ensemble ever... that you'll probably never touch again. But the most appealing option? Door number 3: piece together your own super-cool costume from stylish pieces that you'll actually wear way more than once! Even the most wearable trends are largely inspired by very costume-y themes: gladiator, biker, cowgirl, etc, so why not be resourceful and concoct up a costume while making a fashionable investment in the process? Channel a retro-chic flapper girl with a fringe miniskirt that can translate to a very modern night on the town, or don a sequin blazer for a cabaret/showgirl-type look that will be still be way "in" in the months to come. For more costume ideas featuring wardrobe pieces that will still be trendy even after the 31st, take a look at the slideshow!

    After earning her degree, Post Grad protagonist Ryden Malby (played by Alexis Bledel) is bugging out on account of the economy's grim job market. It's a rocky boat to find yourself on, but don't let the hiring regrets get you down. It's easy to sit back and mope, but times like these require young adults like us to jump into the trenches and to keep putting our best food forward. Persistence is key, and no matter how many interviews you sweat through until you land what you need to launch your career, your efforts count. One of the best foot-in-the-door techniques for an interview is to dress like you own the place. Impressing the recruitment director with class that even shows up the CEO will certainly get you noticed as someone who's ready to suit up to be a member of the team. A wardrobe of suits, vests and blazers, however, doesn't need to look as bland as your father's closet: take a peek at our slideshow for a stylish way to blow your interviewer away! Keep your heads up, all you college grads -- the economy can't stay like this forever!

    Add A Light Layer To Your Summer Look With A Draped Vest

    Sometimes all those layers can get a little stuffy... especially during summer. But you don't have to skip out on that draped and layered look when you've got a vest to hang on your shoulders. Add a hip piece that won't keep you sweltering with a long vest that wraps your shoulders like a scarf. Paired with summer staples like shorts and tank tops, it's a cute and comfortable alternative to your fitted button-up vests, but the look of a sleeveless cardigan sweater makes this vest a more casual layer. Some drape over like a curtain, lending a richer and more delicate style. These accessories will prove even more valuable on a chilly night, as well as into the fall season when you actually will need something to shelter your shoulders. Check out the long vests in this slideshow and treat your trendy self to an edgy, layered look!

    Stylehive's Stylescopes Encourage You To Raid Your ...

    Okay, so it's pretty apparent that the "boyfriend"-inspired trend doesn't actually look like it came from your man's closet, but you gotta admit that it's a pretty cute concept given the comfy, slightly oversized fits that are still flattering to your feminine physique. And the best part about the misnomer? You don't actually need your own ball-and-chain to cop the looks. So whether you're single or attached, the stars say you're destined to rock the boyfriend look this week, be it a blazer, a pair of shorts, or even a zip-up hoodie that fits slightly better than the one your dude left at your place. Libras can keep it casual or even go pro in a boyfriend jacket and Sagittarius ladies will stay comfy-cool in some denim shorts, for example. Just be careful not to wear too many oversized items at once -- you don't want to look like you raided your dad's closet instead! Check the slideshow to see the week's pick for your sign!
