So you’ve waited until October 31 at 6pm to think of a Halloween costume. None of the youtube videos or pinterest boards are as quick, easy or convenient as they say. You can’t find your devil ears and you just CAN’T wear that tight black dress with cat ears for the third year in a row! Fear not, basic witch. I’ve gone through a similar experience myself. I know what it’s like to have no time to create the extravagant crafts outlined in the “Simple DIY Halloween Costumes!” tutorial. Lucky for you, I’ve managed to come up with a combination of funny, cute, scary and sexy costumes you can pull together from the convenience of your own closet, with little-to-no crafting or purchasing involved! And don’t worry, all of these costumes can be dressed up with a jacket to make sure you survive the chilliness of Canadian October.
