Halloween DIY: Cat Burglar Costume
10/26/2011
by Lauren Conrad

If you’re in need of an inexpensive, last minute Halloween costume, I’ve got just the getup for you: The Cat Burglar. While cat costumes are adorable (and very common), the Cat Burglar adds the perfect twist of mystery and mischievousness to this traditional Halloween garb. Did I mention it’s a fairly cheap costume to put together?

Halloween DIY: Cat Burglar Costume

Topshop Cat Ears ($8), Costume Specialties Cat Tail ($3), Free People Opaque Tights in Black ($12), American Apparel Bodysuit in Black ($32), Brian Atwood Alexa Booties, PaperMoon Small Burlap Bag ($9)

Wear a black bodysuit (American Apparel has a great selection), black tights, a black bandit mask, fierce heels, a pair of kitty ears and a pin-on tail. Instead of carrying a purse, use a burlap sack and draw a “$” on it. Finish off your look by drawing a little cat nose and whiskers on your face… and voila, you are a Cat Burglar!

I love this costume. It’s fun, simple and quick. Plus, everyone will think you’re the cat’s meow…

Will you be a cat burglar come Halloween? If not, what are you going to dress up as?

im going to be ke$ha!! i did a tutorial on my costume if you would like to watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6ITCKGVehk

thank goodness for thisssss.

Such a great idea!  I was stuck on what to be for Halloween, but I have defintely found it!

My 2 friends and I are going to be the three blind mice. An over sized Gray sweat shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a wide, off the shoulder neck with black leggings and black ballet flats. We are topping it off with homemade ears and a pin-on tail, add some sunglasses and you've got yourself some blind mice!!

It's a great costume idea, and I agree you can make it very cheap, but I find it funny that you feature $1,345 shoes with a "cheap costume". Not being mean, just stating my thoughts. :))

Cute...but wth is a cat burglar? Really?

Me and my friend both took two of your different ideas! I was Tom Cruise and she was a Cat Burglar, she had the little money bag too!
