Not to worry! You can come up with some very cool last-minute Halloween costumes using stuff you probably already have in your closet—with a quick trip to your craft stash for a few basic supplies. Bonus: Waiting until the last minute could get you a cheap Halloween costume idea that’s still incredibly cute—and may still net you a top prize at your Halloween party. Simply wear a rose-hued shirt, give yourself a name tag that displays any name but “Rose” (we’re partial to “Violet” or even “Lily”), and tote a few roses along for the night. Don’t want to carry a bouquet around at the party? (We don’t blame you!) Iron on a rose patch or two, instead. Carry pom-poms or even clean mopheads. Don a high ponytail and a short pleated skirt to complete the look. A peppy, can’t-bring-me-down attitude is optional but highly encouraged. The only thing that could possibly make this last-minute Halloween costume even better? A few friends to help you form your very own (and very official) squad. The best part? You can wear whatever you want. In fact, we encourage you to show off your most stylish ensemble—it is your self-portrait, after all.
