No Mouse Ear Costumes Here
It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, No, we aren't talking Christmas just yet! It's finally fall, the time of the year when everything is made with a little pumpkin spice and we start to plan for this weekend - Halloween!
This year Halloween falls on a Saturday - yay! We are super excited, but often find it hard to find the time to put together the perfect costume. We’ve spent our lunch break scouring the Internet for some of the cutest (and easiest) DIY costumes for you! Below are our top 5 picks based on difficulty level in terms of time and resources needed! No last minute mouse costumes here!
Fruit!
Difficulty level: 3
What’s sweeter than being an adorable fruit? Nothing, that’s what. Have everyone in awe of your sweet, super delicious and adorable getup. An easy solo or group costume! The best part? This is totally work friendly! You can wear it on Friday and still be work appropriate! An added bonus: you can wear any dress you want! Tutorials from our friend Kelly over at StudioDIY
The Ultimate Girl Squad
Difficulty level: 4 (only because you’ve got to have a crew or it just doesn’t work!)
Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood video, grab your four best friends and a lot of leather to put this ensemble together. How often do you get to mean mug all night with your best friends? Oh, the joys of Halloween! Check out the full tutorial from Brit + Co link
Adorable Trolls
Difficult level: 1
We love this costume for its simplicity and super fun nature! Grab your friends, a nude colored dress, a bright wig and a matching gemstone and done! The only difficulty is getting the wig to stand straight up. Hint, hint - lots and lots of hairspray!
