5 Costumes That Require Little Effort

Having trouble finding a last minute Halloween costume? I’ve assembled some outfits you can definitely pull off from your own closet! 

Costume 1: Scarecrow  

What I used: 

*Flannel shirt

 *jeans 

*beanie

*braided hair

*choker necklace.

I painted orange circles on my cheeks and a triangle on my nose with orange washable paint. I painted my lips and added the stitches on my nose, eyelashes, and lips with eyeliner. 

Costume 2: Rosie the Riveter

We can do it!

Is it really a 40s vibe without a red lip? 

I pinned up my curls to the top of my head after adding the bandanna. 

What I used: 

*chambray shirt

* jeans

*boots

*pearl earrings

*red bandanna

Costume 3: Cat

                       The only thing I didn't have were the cat ears!  

The whiskers, top lip, spots and nose tip were all drawn with an eyeliner pen! 

You can also add a printed sweater to be a leopard instead! 

 So bonus costume right? Lol

What I used:

* Black body suit

*black sweater 

*black high waisted jeans 

*black boots

 *cat ears

*black nail polish

*eyeliner

(I didn’t wear a tail for the costume) 

With a cat costume, I feel you can dress it up, keep it simple, or spice it up and add fishnet stockings with boots...

I added diamond studs earrings and my cat ears also had rhinestones on them. 

Don’t forget to paint your black claws! 

Costume 4: Flapper 

*cue Big Band music*

I didn’t have a long pearl necklace or gloves, which typical flapper accessories needed, but if you’ve got rhinestone costume jewelry, pile that on instead! 

You can wear a hat low on your forehead... 

...Or wear a headband and tuck some hair in.

What I used: 

*lace dress

*fishnet stockings 

*any high heeled shoes

*vintage looking jewelry pieces and a choker necklace

 *Deep red lipstick

*headband or hat

 Additions that work great:

*gloves

*boa or fur shawl

*long pearl necklace 

*clutch purse 

*feather in your headband

Costume 5: Pirate/Swashbuckler 

Dramatic makeup is everything for this look! 

You can’t forget the single golden earring hoop! 

What I used: 

*lacy tan shirt 

*jeans

*boots 

(over the knee boots would be perfect if I had them!)

*red lacy sweater 

*big buckle belt

*chain and rhinestone jewelry 

*gold hoop

*red bandanna 

(Having an additional sash to tie around my waist and a bag of coins would have worked for this look if I had them!)

Also, I didn’t wear an eye patch...

Thanks for stopping by to read! I’m hoping this gave you a few ideas for going out with your family this Thursday! I love dressing in costumes, so I support any kind of excuse to wear them!
