With Halloween being right around the corner, you are probably like me. Picture: a panicked college student freaking out and not knowing what to be while simultaneously spending lots of time scrolling through and flipping back and forth between Instagram and Pinterest and Amazon trying to find something to dress up as that is both original, yet funny, yet still balling on a budget. After I invested more of my time than I’d care to admit scrolling through social media, I found some fun, easy, and some more unique than others’ costume ideas to dress up as with your friends. 

Hershey’s Kiss

What is sweeter than dressing up as Hershey’s Kiss? I thought this was a super cute and fun idea.

Witches

After stumbling upon this one, it made me realize how many people do not dress up as witches. I feel like it is such an easy costume since most everyone owns black clothes and witch hats are relatively affordable. 

Barbie

This is a pretty basic costume idea, but it’s also a convenient and easy one. 

White Claws

This one cracked me up. I don’t think I have seen anyone do it yet, but it should be interesting to see if anyone does this year since their popularity’s still on the rise.

Sun and Moon

This is the perfect excuse to cover your hair and body in glitter! It is also a perfect friend duo costume idea.

Cave Girls

This is a great girl group costume idea. I mean who doesn’t own some sort of animal print in their closet these days?

Alien

This list would not be complete without one of the 2010’s most basic costume ideas. 

I hope y’all find some inspiration and costume ideas! I definitely know I have.
