It's crazy to think it's already half way through October and the fall semester. Time seems to be flying by, and there are only two more weekends until Oct. 31, Halloween.
Costume parties are starting up this weekend, and if you’re like me everything you do is last minute.
Lucky for you, All Hallows Eve is my favorite holiday, and dressing up is my expertise. Whats better than getting to dress like your alter ego for a night?
For those of you against going out and buying cheap and cheesy overpriced halloween costumes you will only wear once I am here for you. Here are some last-minute unique costume ideas you can make from your closet for all of you procrastinators.
1. Audrey Hepburn Find a black dress, gloves and Ray-Ban sunglasses. Throw your hair up, accessorize with a pearl necklace and long cigarette holder. Paint your nails “tiffanys blue” for a final touch.
2. The Universe Constellation dresses and leggings are super in right now. Go and find the perfect outer space clothing and some glitter make up and shoes.
3. The Virgin Suicides Wear any type of regular school girl clothing and invest some zombie makeup.
4. Zombie anything You can turn any costume into a zombie if you’re feeling a bit morbid. Invest in some zombie make up and turn any outfit into a costume for all hallows eve.
5. Wednesday Adams Wear a plain black dress, knee high socks, and make sure you have a peter pan collar. Do your hair in braids, and make your makeup extra pale.
6. Rosie the Riveter Find a denim button up, and roll up the sleeves. Accessorize with a red and white polka dot scarf tied in a bow.
7. Waldo Find a red and white striped shirt or skirt, beanie, and black rim glasses.
8. Animal Find any animal print clothing you have. Leopard, zebra, peacock etc. and accessorize it accordingly.
9. Jellyfish Find a clear umbrella and plastic. Cut the plastic into strips and connect to umbrella, and hold up all night to become a jelly fish.
