Halloween Costumes from your Closet

As Halloween is nearing, I thought it would be fun to come up with some costumes that most people would have in their own closets. This is especially great if you have a last minute party, or just don't want to spend the money on a costume. I came up with some common but unique in their own way costumes that I hope you'll enjoy!

Where's Waldo

Starting with a classic, I made myself a girl version of Where's Waldo. Just wear a pair of jeans with a red striped shirt. These are my American Eagle boyfriend jeans. The shirt is from Forever 21, but you can find one pretty much anywhere. These are my favorite sneakers from Target. You can add a red striped hat if you have one to really complete the look.

Blast from the Past

This is one of my favorite Halloween costumes. It is so easy and there are so many ways to do it. You can find items like this from Good Will or even your parent's closets. This jumper is from a rummage sale I went to (their clothes were $1 for a garbage bag!). This patterned sweater is super soft and reversible!! I paired it with the same American Eagle jeans and Target sneakers.

Bank Robber

This is another classic costume. I wore my black utility jeans from Rue 21 paired with a Forever 21 striped black and white shirt. I added my JCPenny's combat boots (I love these things!). I added a bag with a dollar sign drawn on it for a prop.

Cute Kitty

This may be the most common Halloween costume, but I think there are so many ways to do it. For this kitty I wore the same jeans and boots, but added a plain black teeshirt from Body Central. You could add cheetah print shoes if you have them. I then added these super cute cat ears that I made out of animal print pipe cleaners and a headband.

Classy Kitty

For a different take on the cat costume, I wore this skater dress from TJ Maxx and added a brown studded belt. Under this I wore cheetah print tights I found in the kid's section at Target. I paired that with my DIY Oxford sneakers. I finished it with a pair of studded cat ears that I also made.

3 Hole Punch Paper

This is my personal favorite because I think it is so funny! I wore a dress shirt tucked into my slacks from Sears. I wore a simple pair of H&M black heals. I then cut out three black circles and taped them to the side of my shirt. Let me know if you know what this is from (You'll be my new best friend!) in the comments. I'll give you a hint: you might couple costume it with the kitty. 

I hope these ideas helped you for Halloween this year. Let me know what you're going as and if you understand the reference from the last costume!
