Halloween is just around the corner, and the clock is ticking to come up with a costume idea. If you are attending a party, trick-or-treating with the kids, or are passing out candy, it is always fun to dress up and join in the festivities. Halloween is a quirky holiday that allows us to dress up to the extreme, letting inhibitions go, and allowing our scary or funny personalities come out. Remember it is only one night! Have fun with it!
Here are a few ideas of Halloween costumes to inspire you:
Ghost
It’s a classic and well honestly, cheap as long as you don’t use the 1500 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheet. If you don’t have an old one “floating around”, you can usually pick up a fairly cheap flat sheet at a store like Walmart. Be creative. After cutting out oval shapes for the eyes, maybe your ghost would appreciate some blush and long eyelashes to expose her vulnerability, or a mustache and clever spectacles for a Freudian-style ghost.
Slumber Party
Do you have a Halloween costume day at work? Dressing up as a gaggling teenager going to a slumber party is an easy and lazy Halloween costume. Just wear your pajamas to work. Enjoy comfort in flannel sleep bottoms, a t-shirt and slippers while passing it off as a Halloween costume. So what if you don’t win the creativity contest during lunch, at least you didn’t have to wear an itchy polyester cat suit with a suffocating mask all day in your cubicle!
Group Costumes
Get your friends or family in the spirit by suggesting a group costume. It can be a fun experience with idea sharing and shopping. Some ideas for a group costume are the A-Team, Alice in WonderLand characters or a group of super heroes. If you have more than one child, have your kids dress up as crayons. It is super cute! You can even build on the mentioned slumber party idea, and get a group of co-workers to wear their pajamas to work.
Tabloid Star
With our obsession with tabloids, dressing up as a celebrity is always hit, and usually can be done with items you already own. Think Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or even Octo-Mom for a funny costume. You can also take these ideas and put a scary twist on them by adding vampire teeth or fake blood. What would Kate Gosselin look like with vampire teeth?
The Sexy Costume
It’s true; some of us use Halloween to dress provocatively. The market is saturated with “sexy nurse”, “sexy pirate” and “sexy Cleopatra” costumes among others. Have fun with it! Ignore the jealous eyes and take a chance. Just know that everyone has done it, or has considered it at one time or another. It’s only one night!
Whatever your tastes or interests, there is a costume out there on the market for you. With a little creativity and thought, you’re sure to come up with a great idea and have a Happy Halloween!
