Fun/Easy Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

 
Every year, aside from this year, I always waited until the day before or the day of Halloween to decide what to wear.  Most of the time I threw on a dress and called myself a princess.  This year, though, I not only planned out a costume, I decided to help everyone else find one too.  Here are some very quick, inexpensive (and/or free) costume ideas for anyone who waited until now.
 
Miley Cyrus.  This one is easy, just pin the sides of your hair down, puff up the top and stick your tongue out.  Risqué outfit is optional.
 
Zombie.  This one may require you to go get some fake blood, some dark makeup and rip your clothes, but it is so worth it. 




 
 
Ghost.  I had a lot of fun being a ghost for a day.  If you enjoy thoroughly creeping out your friends and family I suggest you try out this one.  Just make your face as pale as possible, darken circles under your eyes and wear white (lacey if possible).
 
 

 
 
 
Luna Lovegood.  This gloriously unedited picture is from my sister's Facebook page.  Luna is often seen holding the Quibbler upside-down, with crazy specs, and no shoes.  (I suspect Nargles)
 
 

 
 
Eskimo.  This is a super easy costume for those who already have big puffy winter coats with furry hoods.
 
 

 
 
Lifeguard.  I sort of cheated on this one because I already am a lifeguard.  Assuming you don't already have a uniform, all you would need are red shorts, and a white shirt.  On the white shirt, tape or glue the red cross on and write in red marker 'Lifeguard'.
 
 
 

 
 
m&m.  The best part about this costume is that you can do it with a group of people.  This also works for skittles!
 
 
 

 
 
 
Nudist on Strike.  I have used this costume many times.  Wear whatever you'd like and carry around a sign that says 'Nudist on Strike.'  It's an especially favorable costume if you have chilly Halloweens.  A coat won't ruin the costume.
 
 

 
 
 
Cat.  Now, I know not everyone has a Soft Kitty jumpsuit laying around.  A good alternative is to dress in solid colors and wear cat ears. Don't forget your nose and whiskers!
 
 
 

 
 
Baby.  A super easy (and extremely comfortable) costume is a baby.  The ponytail and freckles are optional.  Just wear some PJs, have a teddy bear, and maybe even a blankey.
 
 

 
 
I hope you enjoyed these, and found some inspiration for yourself.  I had way too much fun making these.  Have a fun and safe Halloween.  If you'd like to subscribe to my blogs, you can at the bottom of this page via email, I post about twice a week (No spam, just my blogs).  Thanks for reading! - Julia
