I love Halloween, but it has snuck up on me the past couple years. Suddenly it's October 30 and I haven't planned my costume.
Skeleton: One of my favorite DIYs was the skeleton t-shirt I made for Halloween last year. It was ridiculously easy and it turned out great. It wouldn't take much more effort to do up some matching sweatpants... and makeup if you're a real over-achiever. I tried a number of Halloween costume craft ideas last year, but the skeleton shirt was my favorite.
Rosie the Riveter: Guess what I'm wearing this year? If you want to be comfortable and warm for Halloween, I think this costume is perfect. Extra points for the woman-power message.
Witch: It's an oldie but goodie, and most of us can come up with everything but the pointy hat out of our day-to-day wardrobes. I particularly like this version from Delia Creates. She has a sickening spiderweb cape that I would wear any day.
Greek Goddess: "Just add bedsheet" costumes are pretty great. If you pin your sheet into a toga, you're a goddess. If you throw it over your head, you're ghost. Of the two I prefer goddess, but of course I do.
Fortune Teller: Fortune Teller appeals to my inner raccoon. Search your closet for flowy, bohemian clothes, add large quantities of gold jewelry, and carry around a garden gazing ball, tarot cards, or even playing cards.
**Bonus Idea** Fashion Blogger: I think it would be very funny to be a fashion blogger for Halloween. Wear things that don't go together. Call it pattern mixing. Take selfies all day. Tell people you're famous on the internet. Congratulations, you're me.
