Happy Halloweekend! If you’re like me, you forgot Halloween was just around the corner and tried to order pieces online a week in advance. Rookie mistake– those items wouldn’t have come in until November 9th.
So, now you’re scrambling for a cute and obtainable costume. Or, perhaps, you want to switch things up from night to night and need some easy inspiration that won’t break the bank.
Whatever your reason, here are 25 Halloween costumes you can do with clothing you (or your friends) already own. If you don’t already have these items, there’s a good chance that you can find them at a Spirit Halloween or Walmart.
