As every teenager and young adult would say the minute the month turns from September to October, it is now ~spooky season~, meaning Halloween is almost here! However, there’s a chance you’ve probably put off getting a costume until now. Here are five last-minute funny Halloween costumes that won’t take much out of your wallet.
1. Instagram influencer
You may have heard about this costume that you can buy from Urban Outfitters, but most of us already have this look already in our closets! If not, here are some cheap alternatives. This look is super simple and pretty genius.

2. Lara Jean Covey from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before was a huge success, and Lara Jean’s colorful and fun outfits would definitely make you recognizable as the movie’s sweet and quirky protagonist. I wish I could say that this costume came with a Peter Kavinsky, but one can only dream.

What you need:

**The reviews said that this runs small**
- Shoes (GrabMyLook, $59.99) http://www.grabmylook.com/black-glossy-shiny-leather-white-platforms-sole-lace-up-women-oxfords-shoes.html
Definitely pricey. Canvas shoes or Converse are good alternatives.
Also, let’s be real…Halloween parties are SO HOT. I recommend only wearing one of these two items below, and maybe skipping the tights.

5. Laura Lee
Probably the easiest to recreate on this list, this costume takes little to no effort whatsoever. Laura Lee is a YouTube beauty guru-turned meme after an apology video after her racist tweets went viral. In the video, she fake cries and isn’t the most convincing in her apology.

What you need:
- Light pink t-shirt (ShirtSpace, $4.47) https://www.shirtspace.com/next-level/t-shirts/5084-next-level-n3900-ladies-boyfriend-t-shirt?variant_id=171565&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9ZDeBRD9ARIsAMbAmobCCmyVcLRzmFalGBAFEZL0hu35eZIuBHeCxi8mm8iH4d3DWrUq7egaAm6NEALw_wcB
- Literally just draw fake teardrops on your face. Laura Lee used water and jump cuts in her video, but that won’t work at a party.
- Orange nail polish (Urban Outfitters, $5.00) https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/uo-nail-polish?adpos=1o1&cm_mmc=SEM-_-Google-_-PLA-_-327158859969_product_type_b_product_type_nail&color=081&creative=209973883389&device=c&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9ZDeBRD9ARIsAMbAmoYkSvrBFz8LFpNco5_x3zdr1h0Yf6AeehBdXAKTFz9cXfWgQ9iCe4oaAvwVEALw_wcB&inventoryCountry=US&matchtype=&mrkgadid=3214898272&mrkgcl=671&network=g&product_id=47698014&utm_campaign=PLA
- Put your hair in a high ponytail!
Unfortunately, Lee took down the video, but it still might be out there somewhere on the Internet.
