This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Saint Mary's chapter.

With the spookiest of all holidays just around the corner, you may be struggling to find a costume to wear that makes you look *amazing* without breaking the bank. And if you’re anything like me, you’ve put this decision off to the last minute. Here are five costumes you can recreate easily with what you have in your closet. 

1. Rosie the Riveter

Throw on your favorite pair of jeans, a denim shirt, and a pair of combat boots and you are Rosie! A red lip, bandana, and hair up in a bun are the perfect finishing touches for this DIY. 

2. Wednesday Addams 

If you have a black dress, black tights, and black shoes in your closet be Wednesday Addams! Finish the look with some dark lipstick and braided pigtails. 

3. Minion

Overalls, a yellow shirt, and white Converse are all you need to be a Minion for Halloween. A beanie is the perfect finishing touch for this DIY costume. 

4. Eleven from Stranger Things

This easy costume only needs a pink dress, white Converse, and a dark jacket. Top it off with a frozen waffle box and you could be from Hawkins, Indiana!

5. Kim Possible

You can be Kim if you have a black crop top and olive-green jeans! Combat boots are the Ideal pair of shoes to add to this costume.
