No matter how excited we are for Halloween to come, sometimes we let time get the better of us. Sometimes we forget to make or buy a Halloween costume and are looking for a quick fix. Here are some easy and inexpensive Halloween costume ideas for you to try this season.  

Black Cat  

This is a classic easy costume for a last minute change in plans. Dress in an all-black outfit, add a nose and whiskers with eyeliner or a marker and get a pair of cat ears. This costume is versatile and easy to complete.  

Devil or Angel 

Another classic costume that can be complete with small purchases and things in your closet. For this costume, pick out a red or white outfit and pair it with either devil horns or a halo and wings. This can be dressed up or down and is sure to turn heads. This can be used as a partner costume.  

Trixie Tang from “Fairly Odd Parents” 

Who doesn’t love a costume that reminds us of some of our favorite childhood cartoons? For this costume, you’ll need a lavender shirt, a white skirt or bottoms and a white headband. Pair this with a sassy attitude and you have yourself a Trixie costume.  

Alex Russo  

If you grew up like I did loving “Wizards of Waverly Place”, you’ll love this next costume. Alex is a laidback wizard and that includes during the spooky season. For this costume, all you need is an orange shirt that says “costume” (easily DIYed) and bonus points if you have a wand tucked in your boot.  

Greaser  

For those who loved the musical ”Grease”, this one is for you. Get yourself a white shirt, a leather jacket and big or gelled hair. This one is also great for a couple’s costume if you want to dress up with your partner last minute.  

Your Favorite Liquor/Cocktail 

Lastly, here’s a costume that you can do solo or with a group of friends. Dress as your favorite liquor or cocktail. There are many ways you can do this but two ideas are a cute outfit matched with a decorated cowgirl hat or a decorated shirt.
