Last-minute Halloween costume ideas

Still can’t decide what to be this Halloween?

Maybe you’ve JUST got an invite to a party this weekend and don’t have a costume…talk about frightening!

We’ve got you…Pop Sugar, The Penny Hoarder and Pioneer Woman all have some great, easy, last-minute ideas including:

  • Tourist  Wear some combo of shorts, a brightly-colored tacky shirt, socks with sandals, a straw hat or visor, sunglasses, a camera, and sunscreen on your nose. Bring one of those disposable cameras will add a nice touch AND you can take some photos of the party! #WinWIn!
  • Lumberjack  Put on your flannel with some jeans and a beanie.  Bonus points if your kids have a toy ax lying around.
  • Mummy  Just wrap some fabric bandages around you.  You can also tear old white T-shirts into strips and use them, too!
  • Bank Robber  Black leggings, a black and white striped shirt, a little black mask, and some kind of loot bag will do the trick.
  • Bob Ross  Weat a button-down shirt and jeans and make a small paint palette out of cardboard…easy peasy! Add an afro for the perfect “happy accident!”
  • Barbie  OBVIOUSLY!

Two thing about being Barbie this year, though…EVERYONE’s going as Barbie and Ken this year so you won’t be the only one…and expect some of the others to be mad you’re wearing the same costume, according to the NY Post.

Not only that…almost 40% of people think if you’re wearing a sexy costume, you’re down for some “sexy time“!

But…as we always say…you do you…and let that (Halloween) freak flag fly!
