For Halloween I wore a Gold Digger costume, hence the gold costume and the construction worker hat and shovel. At the same time, I was trying to portray a gold-digging female who wants money!
This costume was a hit! Everyone loved it. I bought a gold dress from a fashion store, a construction worker hat and shovel. I gathered as much gold costume jewelery I could find in my house and put it on. I just had to spray paint the construction worker hat and shovel to make them gold. It was a very comfortable costume and one that was not too over sized or tight. It was just right and it definitely brought the idea across!
You should try it! There is nothing to lose, except maybe for a future date, if you know what I mean. But hey, it works very well!! Give it a try and tell me how it goes!
Cost: $15 (Because of the gold dress, but you could use another piece of clothing).

Hey.
Where did you buy your dress? Because I think I have the same one and I bought it at H&M.. I think your costume is great and Im gonna try it out this year :)
I did the something similar last year. I bought a gold sequined top and gold pants from a resale store. Painted my shovel gold and had huge gold and “diamond” hoop earrings. I did not win the contest at the local bar, but I definitely was a hit. It was a blast.

i like the idea men watch out
Hey! Where did you buy that shovel from? I need a shovel and can’t find a small one that is portable all night!
I did the same costume two years ago and used a kitty litter scooper for the shovel! It was the perfect size and plastic so it was super light to carry around. I duct taped the shovel where there are slots, taped some rolled up newspaper to the top to make a horizontal handle, and spray painted the whole thing gold. Looked great!
