Five Easy, Last-Minute Halloween Costumes for Halloween

Poof! It’s that time of the year again. You blinked and it’s late October and you haven’t committed to a Halloween costume yet. Where did the time go? Who knows. What I do know is that not all hope is lost. Ladies, here are some simple yet creative costumes that will show off your creativity while also keeping the piggy bank intact.

Below are five costumes that are either in your closet currently, or can be purchased on Amazon for a fair price that will be delivered in time for Halloween:

1.) A Yearbook

This incredibly simplistic yet unique idea will both save you money and will create a fun source of entertainment at any Halloween event. All you need is a white T-shirt, some markers, and friends to sign it. Even though the costume is made in only minutes, the final product could be a costume full of messages and lifetime memories. While you may have a white tee to spare, you can find these T-shirts in-store or on Amazon for less than $15.

2.) Kim Possible

This costume is nostalgic and can be as simple as you please. The pictures of clothing and accessories (which can all be found on Amazon) above are merely suggestions of what could be put together to be a representation of Kim Possible. However, if you do not wish to purchase anything new, any black shirt would suffice. The main item that one may not own is green bottoms, which can be purchased for a reasonable price here.

If you wish to maximize your look, you can purchase temporary hair coloring (if you are not a natural redhead).

Here are the other items listed in the photo collage that can be purchased on Amazon: black combat boots, black fingerless gloves, black long-sleeve top, green denim skirt, and belt sets.

3.) Pirate

This is a classic, timeless costume. The items above can all be found on Amazon, but you maybe already have some simpler basic clothing items that can be elevated to fit the role. For instance, any black boots, flats, or other types of shoes can suffice. Skirts can also vary. You can choose other blouses of various colors to add to your pirate look. Add some gaudy jewelry with a bandana and you’re good to go!

Items found in the picture: pirate accessories, blouse and corset pair, necklaces, skirt, and black boots.

4.) Alien

Aliens are extremely versatile costumes. You can be scary, futuristic, or cute. It all depends on how you dress yourself! Either way, it is simple enough to put together last-minute. Anything silver or green would send the message of being from another planet. The bases can be as simple as you please; it comes down to the accessories to bring the customer together. A headband or other headpiece, gloves, or glitter can elevate this simplistic costume.

Seen in the picture: silver boots, silver matching set, and headband and glitter.

5.) Barbie

You may have seen this coming. Yes, it’s trendy, but it’s trendy for a reason! Barbie may be especially popular this year, but it is still a timeless costume. What makes this costume unique is you. Check your closet for anything pink and see where it takes you. This versatile costume is perfect for a last-minute plan. You can be any kind of Barbie your heart desires! From CEOs to cowgirls, to disco, to exercise, the options are limitless.

And of course, the items in the picture can all be delivered to your door through Amazon (cowgirl Barbie, pink heels, pink blazer, pink dress, pink button-down, pink groovy pants, heart earrings, and pink exercise set).

All five of these costumes can be as elaborate and expensive as you wish. No matter what your budget and time constraints are, these options can ensure you stand out at any upcoming Halloween event. Get creative and GET SHOPPING!!!
