10 DIY Halloween Costumes That Won't Break Your Budget

In This Article:

If you're a Halloweenie like me, then you've probably already got your costume all planned out and ready to go (yes, a month in advance...don't @ me). But sometimes, we need a little bit of help! Whether it's money that's stopping you from deciding on a costume or you just don't want to put in the most maximum effort (let's face it, not everyone's extra about Halloween like I am), this list is here for any of your Halloween costume needs!

1. The Bachelorette (or the Bachelor)

Have an old homecoming dress lying around that you thought you'd never wear again? Or a tuxedo? Have you got $10 to spend on a bouquet of roses? Then you've got yourself a perfect Halloween costume! Give out roses throughout the night to random folks to really embrace that Bachelor/Bachelorette vibe, too.

2. Arthur

The man, the meme, the legend. If you've got a white collared button down, a yellow, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, a pair of basic blue jeans, square-frame glasses, and a pair of white shoes (Converse are personally always my go-to), then all you have to invest in are some ears that you can stick on your head! Easy peasy!

3. Rosie the Riveter

The easiest of all Halloween costumes, tbh. All you need are blue jeans, a blue, button-down short-sleeve shirt, and a red bandana for your hair! Plus maybe some killer winged eyeliner to really seal the deal.

4. Kim Kardashian

All you need for this one is a pair of high heels and a tight outfit to accentuate your *ahem* assets. If you want to go for a more humorous costume, then throw in a "sex tape" to carry around with you (pictured above).

5. An Instagram photo.

Super duper easy and great for pictures with friends! Just throw on your most basic outfit and cut out a giant frame from cardboard to paint and decorate as your Instagram frame!

6. Any character from Gossip Girl

It's as easy as throwing on a school uniform or your most boujee outfit and calling it a day! The possibilities are endless considering how many characters there are! XOXO...

7. Superman/Clark Kent

In the day and age of superhero movies being the most popular movies there are, it's the perfect time of year to try out a Superman costume! Check your local thrift shop for a Superman t-shirt and then just get a button-down shirt, a tie, and some thick-rimmed glasses to complete the look! This could be perfect for a couples costume if you've got someone to be your Lois Lane or Wonder Woman, too!

8. Netflix and chill

Over-sized shirts in blue and red? Check! A printer to print out letters to glue/tape onto your shirt? Check! That's all this super simple costume takes, and the best part is that you can do it with your BFF!

9. Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast At Tiffany's"

Make Blair Waldorf proud in this super easy Audrey Hepburn costume! All you need is a little black dress, some pearls, a pair of black shades, and some black gloves and heels to complete the look!

10. Hogwarts student

Pretending you're a wizard has never been easier with this DIY costume! All you need is a lot of gray! Gray stockings, a gray skirt, and a gray cardigan over a white button-down. To really complete this look, add in some of your house colors (Gryffindor 4 lyfe)!

Let's get spoopy, guys!!

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. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
