Halloween’s Around The Corner, Are You Ready?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

Halloween is the one day a year that you can totally transform yourself into something or someone; you can be that one character you’ve always wanted to be! Since it only comes once a year you have one time to make it perfect. Here are some classic and original Halloween costume ideas to get your creative juices flowing about your ideal Halloween costume!

Solo Costumes:
-Your favorite singer, go crazy like Lady Gaga or channel your old-school Britney Spears
-Cartoon characters, Dora the Explorer, Spongebob, Where’s Waldo
-Pirate, show off your booty
-Biker chick, bring out your bad side
-Nerd, so easy!
-Queen bee (play on words)
-A commercial character like Flo from Progressive or the Sundrop girl
-Song Titles, “I ain’t sayin’ she a Gold Digger” or “It’s a party in the U.S.A.”
-Halloween classics: Ghost, Pumpkin, Mummy, Zombie, Vampire
-iPod, just use duck tape!

Partner costumes:
-Cowboy and Indian
-Cop and Robber
– Devil and Angel
-Mario and Luigi
-Thing 1 and Thing 2
-Fred and Wilma
-Cookie Monster and Elmo
– Salt and Pepper

Group costumes:
-Deal or No Deal Girls
-Ninja Turtles
-Disney princesses
-Candy bars
-Box of crayons
-Super heroes, the Incredibles are super easy

Ask your girlfriends from other colleges if any of their friends had creative costumes from the previous year. When you’re bored, Google costumes or make a list of a bunch of ideas, that way you can look out for supplies when you’re out shopping or doing earrands. The best tip I have is to be creative. Put aside some time to browse different consignment stores like Goodwill or Savers. The less money you spend, the more fun you will have making your costume.
