Steps You Go Through When Deciding A Halloween Costume

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

Even though Halloween has come and gone, let’s take a look back on how we all decided on our Halloween costumes!

  1. Establishing the fact Halloween is closer than it appears, let’s be real no one has a clear idea of what they’re going to be months ahead (it’s more like 2 weeks before).
  2. Brainstorming with friends about group costume ideas, what’s affordable? What’s cute? What makes sense? It’s a process.
  3. Abandon the group costume idea and look up cheap costume ideas online instead.  
  4. Realize that cheap costume ideas still mean you have to buy things that you probably won’t ever wear again
  5. Realize Halloween is 4 days away and think maybe you’re too old for costumes
  6. The day of Halloween you either figure out the best idea or go for the simple look that you just realized you have in your closet, for example a Liberian, sports guru or a certain colored crayon.
  7. But in the end you go out and have a good time and don’t even remember what costume you’re wearing.
