Costumes for Every Night of Halloweek That Won’t Break the Bank

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

Halloween in college is much different than how it was when you grew up. In college, it is considered “Halloweek”, where every night of the week leading up to Halloween itself, is a different costume party. That means you need about seven or eight different costumes per night, which is obviously a lot. So here is some inspiration for what you can dress as each night, mostly from clothes you already have and small accessories from Walmart.
