There are so many things to be for halloween! Here are some sugestions;

  1. Where's Waldo. For this costume you need three simple things that you can get at almost any clothing store. You will need a red hat, red and white striped shirt, and some blue jeans or shorts, all up to you.

  2. Cat. This is a simple and pretty basic costume; for this you will need a black dress or leggings and shirt. You will also need some ears and a tail, and let’s not forget about the whiskers and nose that you can put easily with makeup.

  3. Hippie. This is a simple yet amazing look. All you need is a tie dye shirt, some bell bottom pants and a flower crown. Lets also not forget about the amazing tall boots they used to wear.

  4. A gothic chick. This costume is amazingly easy to accomplish. All you ned to do is put on some dark clothes and extremely dark, almost all black or plum make up and you're set! If you want to go all the way over the top, then you can carry around a real or fake black rose to give off that dark feeling.

  5. Mario. Who hasn't played Super Mario Bros or Mario Cart at least once? This look is super duper easy. All you need is a red hat with an “M” on it. You can even put the “M” on yourself. You'll also need a red shirt and some jean overalls and you're all set.

  6. Mmmm cookies. For this halloween you can be the Cookie Monster! All you need is a blue sweater and pants. On the sweater you can go to the dollar store and get some styrofoam balls and make black crackers on them to look like eyes and stick them to the hood of your sweatshirt. Also what is the cookie monster without a cookie you can cary around a real or fake cookie all day.

  7. If you've always wanted to be a singer but can’t sing for your life, or are too shy, you can be Sia. All you have to do is get a large wig or hat that covers your face and wear all nude colour clothing and you are now Sia from her music video.

  8. Bunnies are so cute. If you want to be one it’s easy. Dress in all black or brown, get a white pompom to put on as a tail and draw your nose and whiskers and there. You don’t want to forget their cute ears, so grab an old headband and print out a pair of ears and there you have it, you're now a bunny!

  9. If you've watched The Wizard of Oz, then you know who the wicked witch of the west is. For this simple look all you have to do is grab an all black dress, or a long black skirt with a black tee, and put on your witch hat and it’s easy as one, two, three.

  10. Last but not least, is there a more epic costume than a bushel of grapes? For this look, all you have to do is wear a basic black tee and some tights. Then blow up some purple or green balloons, stick them on yourself and look, you’re now grapes.
