10 Basic And Easy DIY Halloween Costumes For Gals And Ghouls

In This Article:

I don't know about you, but deciding on a costume has got to be one of the hardest things in the world. I give all the credit in the world to those girls out there who have such intricate and creative costumes because I just doing have the time or money for that!

Even if they are basic, they work and you can make them into your own! For those of you who are like me, and need easy Halloween "go-to" costumes, here are some listed below!

1. Vampire. 

In order to be a vampire, it is very simple. All you need is an all-black outfit and some red lipstick! In order to really give off the vampire vibes, you should consider making the red lipstick run down from your mouth, maybe even throw in a cheap pair of fangs!

2. Devil.

Basic, I know! But, let's be real, it is an easy costume. Any Halloween store has an inexpensive pair of devil horns. For the outfit choice, you have many options! You could do a red top with black bottoms (or vice versa). Now, to add more flair to this costume, you can add red lipstick, fishnets, and throw on some booties!

3. Angel. 

Of course, if there is a devil at the party, there has got to be an angel. For this costume, you can simply wear all white, black bottoms could also work if you don't want to wear white bottoms. Now all you need is a halo and if there are any other extras you'd like to add to show your inner angel, then go for it!

4. Cat.

Dressing as a cat can be as easy as dressing as a vampire. All black! Now, instead of making it look like you just drained half of the party of their blood, you just need some black eyeliner to draw on your whiskers. And the last and most important touch is the kitty ears which you can find at so many stores for low prices!

5. Bunny. 

Probably the most basic Halloween costume, but how can I not include it when it really is an easy Halloween costume! When being a bunny, all you need is a body suit (either black or white) and a skirt. Even if you have a tight dress that would work, too. Now, throw on some stockings and booties, don't forget your ears, and you are good to go!

6. Army Girl.

Most girls have a cute pair of camouflage pants, and if you do, this is such an easy costume idea for you! You already have the camouflage pants and you can easily wear these with a black or white crop top. Now, you can add some extra things like combat boots, a bandana, maybe even some fake amo and you are ready for battle!

7. "The Purge" outfits.

I think this one is the most fun costume to make. All you need is a big white t-shirt, a pair of scissors, and some red paint. You can splatter the paint on the shirt however you want, then cut some holes in the shirt. There is your costume! All you need to make sure you have are some Nike pros or spandex underneath that shirt. Then, if you want to add more to the outfit, there are stores that sell Purge masks that will make you look even spookier!

8. Sports fan. 

Just wear a jersey! Easy enough, right? Depending on the size of the jersey you can wear spandex underneath or wear a cute pair of shorts or a skirt. There are many options and many different sports teams you can choose from!

9. "Risky Business" 

This one is super cute and pretty comfortable to wear all night. All you need to find is an oversized, men's button-up shirt. Same deal as previously said, spandex underneath. Then, you just slap on some white knee-high socks and some converse or booties depending on what vibe you want to have. And do not forget to have those sunglasses!

10. Mouse. 

I wanted to make the last on the list very very simple. As I have been able to say for a few costumes, all black everything. All you need is an all-black outfit, some whiskers, and some cute mouse ears and you are good to go! Make sure if you wanna add some more stuff, you add a tail to make it cute or even some fishnets to get a more mature vibe.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
