10 Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at C of C chapter.

 

It’s easy to lose track of time and forget to come up with a Halloween costume. But don’t freak out! You already have everything you need to put together a costume the day of the Halloween party. Here are a few ideas of what you can be for Halloween this year even if you don’t have time to go and buy a costume.

 

1. Rosie the Riveter

Show off your girl power as one of the most iconic females in history! All you need is a denim shirt, a red bandana, and a ‘We Can Do It’ attitude.

2. Katniss Everdeen

If you want a different take on a powerful female figure, Katniss Everdeen is your girl. Katniss is a symbol of strength and one of the most hard-core heroines of our generation. Also, this costume would give you a chance to show off your awesome archery skills.
