Wear a shirt that you can cut holes in, exposing your different colored tank top underneath. Or you can tape colored construction paper circles to your chest.

3. Ceiling Fan


Pick a color theme and wear only those colors, while writing “Go Ceilings!” on your shirt or cap like a sports fan.


4. Strawberry

Wear a red outfit and tape yellow construction paper cutouts to your body for the seeds. Then, construct a stem and leaves out of green construction paper to make a hat.

Wear a red top and black leggings or pants. Then, tape black construction paper circles to your body for spots. You can even decorate a headband with pipe cleaners to make an antenna.

Safety pin an array of dryer sheets and clothes to your outfit for a fresh-out-of-the-dryer look.

Make a sign out of cardboard and write, “Nudist on Strike!” to hang around your neck with a shoelace or string.8. Brawny Man

All you have to do is grab a fanny pack! You can also add a Hawaiian shirt and a sun visor for this look.10. Secret Service

All you need is a sports coat and aviator sunglasses. You can even make a fake earpiece with a cotton ball and some paint.

Just wear all white and paint or tape lines across your limbs and torso. You can make the face out of a paper plate and cut out eye holes.

12. Ghost

If you're in a real time crunch, you can do a classic ghost with a sheet over your head. You could even be a 'sexy' ghost by adding a bikini over your sheet.

14. Minion

Wear a yellow shirt under a pair of overalls or suspenders. You can make the goggles by taking your lab goggles and drawing or taping black rings onto them.

Write different names on a package of name tags and stick them all over your body. Easy enough, right?16. Dominoes

Wear all black or all white and cut out construction paper circles of the opposite color to tape to your shirt. This will also make an awesome group ensemble!

Wear a button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and high waisted jeans. Top this one off with a red bandana in your hair.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
