Quick Halloween Costume Ideas

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

Personally, October is my favorite month. Not only does the Pumpkin Spice Latte makes it debut, but there is a whole day dedicated to eating candy. However, with midterms, a job, and multiple leadership positions, Halloween has crept up on me again! If you’re like me and need some last minute ideas, here are 6 costumes that you can pull together faster than you can say “Boo!”

 
1. Rosie the Riveter 
 
Grab your favorite denim shirt, black shorts, red lipstick and a bandana for this patriotic look! Don’t forget some killer red heels.
 
2. Risky Buisness
Channel your inner Tom Cruise and grab an oversized button down for this risky look. All you need to complete this look are Nike shorts, sunglasses and some white socks.
 
3. Scarecrow
Here’s a look you can literally pull right out of your closet! Pair a flannel with jeans, floppy hat and boots to become a sweet scarecrow. Check out this tutorial.
 
4. Mean Girls Mouse
Follow the logic of our sweet friend Karen and get some mouse ears! If anyone asks just show them this:
 
5. Cheetah Girls
The original #SquadGoals are right here. We all remember jamming out to their “Cinderella” song, so here’s your chance to channel your inner Galleria, Chanel, Aqua or Do! All you need are sweatpants and a matching tee.
 
6. Bank Robber
Get ready to put your hands up!  While stealing money isn’t exactly a recommended activity, you will definitely steal some cuties hearts in this outfit.
