Last minute & DIY Halloween costumes
- Cat: Easy! Just paint your nose black and add three lines on each side for whiskers. You'll score bonus points if you can find a headband with cat ears.
- Ghost: All you need is a white bedsheet. But, don't forget the eyeholes!
- Billie Eilish: You'll need over-sized clothes for this one. A baggie hoodie, shorts that fall below-the-knee, sneakers and crew socks should do the trick.
- X, formerly known as Twitter: If all else fails, just use a white or silver marker to draw the letter ‘X’ on a black t-shirt, and call it a day.
- Wednesday Addams: Part your hair down the middle for braided pigtails, and wear all black. If you're headed to a party, it wouldn't hurt to learn the "Wednesday Dance." Steal the show!
- Clark Kent: This one's totally safe for the office. You're in a suit! If you want to add some pizzazz, safety pin the end of your tie to the shoulder of your blazer to make it look like it's flying.
- Smarty Pants: Buy a bag of Smarties candy rolls and glue or tape them to an old pair of pants. You can throw on a pair of glasses and carry around a book to really sell the look.
Happy Halloween-ing!
