Last minute Halloween costumes

Today is Halloween and you have a
Halloween party tonight or this weekend,
but you forgot about a costume. Don’t
worry, costumes are pretty easy to put
together if you have the right stuff in
your closet already. These DIY costumes
are easy and cheap which is perfect for
any college student.
For girls, you can do Wednesday
Addams, Regine George, scarecrow and
the list goes on. Wednesday Addams
could be the harder one but all you need
is a black dress, white collared shirt,
black stockings and black shoes. If you
are lucky enough you might already have
all items or just missing one or two items
and if you don’t have any of the items
I’m sure Dirt Cheap has you covered. For
the all known Regina George outfit, the
holes in her shirt showing off her bra, all
you need is a white tank, a colored bra
and a black skirt. Cut out two holes on
the front of the shirt over the bra and be
ready to strut at the party. If you happen
to have overall shorts, I recommend
adding a flannel and go as a scarecrow.
A scarecrow is probably one of the easier
costumes, but don’t forget the face make
up. And of course, there are the typical
costumes as a bunny or cat, which are
easy to do as well and can be taken up a
notch for the girls wanting to show off
skin.
For guys, y’all have it easy when it
comes to costumes because usually all
it really is, is just mixing and matching
shirts. The easiest is the error no costume
found, all you do is write on a white
t-shirt and put on jeans. Grab a white
and red stripped shirt and some jeans
and your new name is Waldo and people
are looking for you. Grab a bunch of grey
paint samples from a paint or hardware
store and become 50 shades of grey. Go
all out and be Allen from ‘The Hangover’,
you are going to need a baby carrier a
baby doll and a lot of hair. Grow an afro
and become Bob Ross, all you’ll need is
a light blue shirt, jeans and some paint
supplies. Find a fake beard, a red hat,
red shorts and a white t-shirt and start
running till you are Forrest Gump.
If you are one of those couples and
want to do a couple costume, there are
still some easy ones for you. Fireman and
his Dalmatian, for the guy some black
pants, any shirt, red suspenders and
fireman’s hat. For the lucky girl take a
white shirt and some ears and add some
spots and add a cute black skirt and y’all
are cute and ready to go catch some
heat. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, is an all-time
favorite and easy for any classy couple.
Ladies, just put on a long black dress and
some heals, and guys time to suit up.
You cannot forget about the throwbacks,
Smalls and Wendy, Napoleon Dynamite
and Deb and Danny and Sandy. For Smalls
and Wendy, the girl needs a life guard
outfit and the guy needs jeans, a white
shirt and a light-colored polo. Napoleon
Dynamite and Deb, might be the little
harder one, because the guy needs an
afro, vote for Pedro shirt and some tight
jeans and the girls needs a pink shirt,
pink fanny pack and some high waisted
skinny jeans. Got some black skinnys and
some leather, well now you are Danny
Zucko and Sandra Dee and big hair is all
you need.
For groups of friends, you can be fruits,
The Purge, Risky Business, frat boys
and Grey’s Anatomy. For the fruits, it is
as easy as just different colored shirts
painted on to look like fruits. The Purge,
just need white shirts covered with blood
and some fake weapons. Risky Business,
borrow some big long sleeve white button
downs and long socks. For frat boys, khaki
shorts, a polo and backwards hat and you
are ready to party. Grey’s Anatomy find
some scrubs and try not to die.
Even if none of these are your style,
look through your closet, your roommates
closet, your friends closet and your
boyfriend or girlfriends closet. I am sure
in at least two of those closets you can
find something to make into a costume
and if you still have no luck hit up Dirt
Cheap or Walmart. Dress cute, party hard
and have fun.
