Tomorrow is Halloween and chances are you’ve been invited to a costume shindig.  But, if you’re anything like me, you might be scrambling for a last minute costume idea.  Or if you are like my friend and you are having a “recessionista” Halloween, you might be shopping your own closet.  Either way, you can still throw together a clever costume and be the hit of your Halloween bash!

Deviled Egg

Finding a pair of devil horns is pretty ubiquitous this time of year.  You can visit most drugstores and score a pair on the cheap.  You may even have a pair stuffed in the closet from Halloweens past.  Well dig them out and you can have one of the easiest and most fun costumes at your party.  What you’ll need to be a deviled egg:

1. A white t-shirt and white pants

2. A yellow oval that you can affix to your shirt

3.  Your devil horns

When I did this last year, I just printed out a yellow oval shape off of my computer.  I cut out the oval, safety-pinned it to my shirt and threw on my devil horns.  And then I made people guess what I was.  It was pretty funny to hear all the theories and once they figured it out, it made a lasting impression!

Bubblegum on the Bottom of a Shoe

CVS has cheap wigs for less than $5 right now.  I bought myself a pink wig and I’m going as “bubblegum on the bottom of a shoe.”  I’ll wear my wig, throw on a cute pink dress and attach a lightweight flip flop to my wig.  Voila!  Bubblegum.

Vampire

There is nothing hotter than being a vampire these days.  From Twilight to True Blood to Vampire Diaries, our idea of what a vampire looks like is shifting.  You don’t necessarily need fangs to pull off the vampire look.  Vampires are generally still sexy though, so pull out that outfit you feel hottest in.  Do you have some foundation that is too light for your complexion?  That will help with your “undead” look.  Apply it to your face and neck, define your eyes with some smoky eyeliner and put on some red lipstick for good measure.  Classic!
