| "You severely underestimate my apathy" |
It's October 31st, and you're suddenly freaking out that you don't have a Halloween costume. There are probably two reasons why: 1. You originally dismissed the idea of dressing up entirely, but now, the cute pictures from the weekend have flooded your social media feeds and you want to dress up in a final attempt to avoid full-on FOMO. 2. You kept postponing your shopping trip, reassuring yourself that the stores would still have costumes and accessories available the day of and - surprise - they don't.
We've all been there, and although these situations start off stressful and disappointing, they often trigger something creative in our brains that helps us come up with fun and free costume ideas. Last year, I found myself in situation #2, and just when I started to give up hope, I sifted through my closet and ended up putting together one of my favorite Halloween costumes to date (Wednesday Addams, below). My sister and best friend (both pictured below) also found themselves in similar situations last year, and even so, they were able to throw together some cute and bad-ass outfits. That being said, don't cancel your plans for tonight, because I guarantee you'll be able to pull off one of our previous last-minute costume looks based on items either you or your friends already own:
