INSPO | last minute costume ideas.

Hi there loveys! 
I was debating on what to post - torn between either a DIY costume post, easy lo mein recipe, or last minute costume ideas for Halloween. 
WELL - luckily I do not have to work on Friday's so I designate my Friday's to running errands, appointments, cleaning the house, etc. Turns out, my best friend (whom decided to move 9 hours away from me) called me so we decided to talk for about 3 hours and I lost track of time and failed to do any of those things. 
You know what, I lied, I DID hang up my laundry (I know, I know, way to go Rach). 
Since I spent so much time talking to her I decided that I was going to just turn today into a lazy day, watch scary movies, blog, and catch up on writing my thank-you notes from the wedding. 
With that being said, 2 of those 3 blog options listed above required me to actually get up and make something, where as one of those options only requires me to brainstorm and put it onto the internet. So, as you can see, the winner is the last minute costume idea's. 
I'm such a good blogger. HA. 
But, if any of you are like me, you need this post.  You need it simply because you had all intentions of coming up with a beautiful, elaborate costume...but then you look at the calendar and you have less than 24 hours before you need your costume. Well this post is for you. Your welcome, and no, no, I don't need your money - keep it and  buy a drink on me ;) I'm doing this simply out of the kindness of my heart because I love you. :)
Without further adieu, here are some ideas. 
A SUPER ADORABLE BAT 

I've been a bat for literally 3 years in a row because this outfit is not only simple, but cute. And if you are like me and tend to walk aimlessly around college towns in the cold on halloween night, it's a good one to stay comfy and warm with. You can do cartwheels, dance without worrying about something slipping out, and you make really good friends with the vampires for some reason.  I posted a couple years ago on this DIY - check it out. 
A PIECE OF SUSHI

This one was on the list of options for me this year. Ultimately the gypsy won out, but that was only because I couldn't find the right scarf and I didn't want to run to the store. Yes, I am lazy, I know. Don't rub it in. 
GYPSY

Like I said previously, this is what I am going to be this year. I have a gypsy heart so I only find it fitting I am a gypsy this year. All you need is a beautiful off the shoulder shirt, a long beautiful flowing skirt, a head scarf, and minuscule make up skills. Perfect.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

If you have long hair and are willing to sacrifice the "cute" factor of Halloween, this is a perfect idea. It's hilarious, clever, and SUPER easy. You just need a top hat and a pant's suit. Bonus points if you have a walking stick. Tie your hair in front of your face to make a "beard" and BOOM, sup Abe. (Sorry Ken)
A SEA ANEMONE

Yes, I did have to look up how to spell that. BUT - aside from that, this was another one of my sister's costumes a few years back. She carried around a clown fish and it was adorable. 
BANANA

Or you could just go spend the 20 bucks at Walmart and be a banana. That's always a good go-to. Do the splits and you're a banana split. Man, am I clever or what?

What are you dressing up for this year? Anything clever? I can't wait to see all of the outfits!

halloween costumes.

I'm sure you all already know this, but if you don't I just want to inform you that HALLOWEEN IS IN TWO DAYS. 
I'm so excited guys. Halloween is definitely my favvvvorite holiday to celebrate. It's going to be great. 

The ghosts, the ghouls... the scantily clad nurses, cops, and inanimate objects. 
It's going to be a fun time. 
With that said, I am curious as to what my readers will be wearing this year! 
Here were my outfits the past few years. 

Vampire

Ninja Turtle

Bat

And this year the plan is to be a tooth fairy. Inspiration from the Queen herself, LC. 

However, if tulle ends up being too pricey for my budget I might just have to stick with Tinkerbell this year. 

What are you dressing up as this year? I want to know! Leave it in the comments below! :)
