6 Inexpensive Halloween Costumes for the Procrastinator/Uncreative Soul

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

Halloween is 5 days away; however, have you figured out your costume? Are you a procrastinator? Do you lack creative genius? Are you low-key freaking out because you know no amount of pondering will result in an idea? Panic no more—you can be:

1.     A ceiling fan

Get a t-shirt. Write “Go ceilings!” on it. You are a ceiling fan.

2.     The Black Plague

Want to do a group costume with your friend who is dressing up as Joan of Arc, or your friend who is dressing up like Sir Lancelot? But don’t feel like spending money on some medieval garb, or don’t know where you could access a suit of armor? Dress in all black and be the Black Plague. If people think that’s too morbid, quickly change the subject and say you’re A from Pretty Little Liars.

3.     A potato

Get some aluminum foil. Wrap yourself in it. Put yourself in an oven (just kidding, don’t do that). But you are a potato.

4.     A porcupine

Get a t-shirt. Get take-out Mulan 37 nights in a row. Gather all the chopsticks you received from Mulan. Tape them to yourself. You are a porcupine.

5.     Sassy Emoji girl

Buy a pink t-shirt. Hold your hand/arm/elbow in the same position the entire night. Be excessively and aggressively sassy. You are sassy emoji girl.

6.      Yourself

You’re beautiful and going to be rich and famous someday, anyway.
