Tomorrow is Halloween (F.Y.I. for those of you who have been in a cave for the past month). Finding a costume has the potential to be more stressful than fun. Not only does it take planning, but it also takes money. Oligoville has compiled a list of last minute, wallet friendly costumes. All of these costumes can be made with items your probably already have. Don’t fret too hard on what to wear; at the end of the day we all know that Halloween is really just about candies and cocktails!
Celebrities: From Sarah Palin to Paris Hilton, use your imagination and personality to channel you as your fave celeb. Some easily replicated celebs include Madonna, Frida Kahlo, Amy Winehouse, Marilyn Monroe, The Girls Next Door, Elvis …
Animals: From cats to bunnies, start with a monochromatic ‘fit and a lot of face paint. You may need to buy (or make) some ears and a tail. Some classic animal costumes include cats, puppies, skunks, pigs, cows, rats, spiders, ladybugs, bumble bees, bears … use your imagination.
American Tourist: Break out your obnoxiously loud Hawaiian prints, cargo shorts, straw hats, camera, and maps.
1960s Hippy: Borrow Mom and Dad’s bell-bottoms, tie-dye, fringe, aviators, peace signs, long hair, and fake joints.
Pot Head: Wear a pot on your head.
Fifties Guy: Find an old black leather jacket, add a white t-shirt, some gel your hair, and slide into your tightest jeans.
Eighties Girl: Break out your leggings, cut the neck off an old t-shirt so it hangs off your shoulders, and double up on socks. Don’t forget your neon colors and side ponytails!
Ugly Betty: Un-matching patterned dress, blouse, skirt, or vest; tights, watch, glasses, Mexican poncho—braces are a plus!
Priest/Nun: Wear all black, and cover up as much as possible. For men, wear a white collar, and for women, use a black scarf lined with a white one to cover your head.
Homeless/Hobo: Rough up some old jeans and a smelly t-shirt. Smear some brown makeup all over you and carry a witty cardboard sign.
Miss Teen USA: Wear your old prom dress (if it still fits!) and gob on the makeup. Make a sash with your title, i.e. “Miss Pre-Teen Littleton.”
Pregnant: Stuff your belly with a pillow.
Runaway Bride: Steal your mom’s bridal gown and throw on your running shoes.
Spice Rack: Grab an over sized bra and stuff it with spices.
Sugar Daddy/Sugar Mama: Attach sugar cubes and candy all over you.
Cereal Killer: Tape empty cereal boxes to you and stab them with plastic knifes.
Nudist on Strike: Wear normal clothes and make a sign that says, “Nudist on Strike.”
American Flag: Wear red, white, and blue.
Construction Worker: Bust out your old shirt, work boots, tool belt, hand tools, work gloves, hardhat, and walkie-talkie.
A Present: Wrap yourself in wrapping paper (You can also add a tag that says “Gods Gift to Women” or “God’s Gift to Men”)
Nerd: Break out your flood pants, wear a white collared shirt with penny loafers, some white socks, dark rimmed glasses (taped, of course!) a brief case, and suspenders—don’t forget to practice your snorty laugh.
