Are you currently stuck in your room gazing at the pile of clothes you just created because your procrastination or wallet got in the way of scouting out the perfect costume?

Well, have no fear. I’m not superman, but I’ve got some last minute Halloween costume ideas that’ll save you from making a mess of your room and making an unwanted shopping spree at Wallie World.

Scarecrow

A tartan blouse, overalls, floppy hat and killer makeup skills is all you need to be the baddest scarecrow that ever lived.

 

Ghost / Ancient Roman

These costumes are as easy as pie! Just make holes in the sheets you already own or drape them around you, making sure to cover all of your bits, of course. Ladies, to make this look a bit more feminine, turn your necklace into a temporary headband and cinch your waist with a stylish belt or shoelace strings.

 

Rosie the Riveter

Become this classic, feminist icon by pairing your favorite jeans with a denim top and a red polka dot head-tie. If you don’t have a head-tie, don’t panic. Simply tie a red tank top around your head in the same manner that Rosie did.

 

Bank Robber

If you have ever played the Sims game, then you know that being a robber is as easy as taking candy from a baby. Literally. All you need is a beanie, preferably in black, a striped T-shirt, dark jeans and glasses frames, which you can make by taking out your lenses. And if you don’t feel like ruining a perfectly good set of glasses, then just cut a black sock in half, make holes for your eyes and tie it around your face.

 

Animal/ Miscellaneous

Have you ever heard that you can be anything that you want to be? Well, you can do just that with a onesie.

From animals like turtles, kangaroos and raccoons and to popular superheroes, the options are endless with the one suit ensemble. And it would certainly be fun to make rocking one of these a group affair!

 

So gather three of your closest girlfriends and you know…become cheetah girls. I mean, sisters.
