Here are some costumes to ensure you look absolutely fa-boo-lous this spooky

Now, let’s be honest, every year we all say we’re going to pop out with the cutest, most thoughtful, and well-designed costumes for Halloween. Sometimes this planning starts as early as June! But then, lo and behold, it’s October and there isn’t a costume in sight. The panic starts setting in, palms start sweating, and the horrible thought of not getting any Instagram photos starts creeping in. But no need to fret! Costume or not, here are some wickedly cute options that will have you serving tricks and treats all night.







Swimming in Style:

First up, you’re sure to make a splash as a goldfish! This costume is as easy as it is adorable. All you need is an orange outfit (think a flowy orange top and a sparkly/sequin skirt), a touch of gold accessories, and maybe some fun fish socks and clear little heels! Add some glittery eyeshadow or face gems to achieve that underwater glam look. And voilá, you’ll be giving “the snack that smiles back” in no time!

Let’s Get Wild:

Some may say it’s impossible to look both chaotic and cute, but this costume proves otherwise. All you have to do is pick out your absolute favorite animal print (cheetah, zebra, leopard, cow, etc.), add a party hat, throw on a boa, grab some confetti, and hit the dance floor! Channel your inner party animal and groove all through the night!


Bottoms Up:

Whether you’re feeling like a martini, a spritz, or an iced latte, dressing up as your favorite drink is a simple yet adorable option! Just grab a simple white top and slap on a logo or fruit decal! Add some sparkly shorts or a skirt in the color scheme of your drink, and most importantly, get your drink ready for the night! Not only is this a great conversation starter, but the whole costume is extremely DIY-able. I’m willing to bet you already have all you need to transform yourself into a tall glass of style!

Fancy Seeing You Here:

Subtle? Never heard of her. If you’re in the mood to glam it up, Fancy Nancy is the way to go. Think pearls, feathers, tutus, tiaras! Basically, anything that screams fabulous. It’s a great excuse to pull out all your sparkly statement pieces and go over the top. This costume is perfect for anyone who wants to look effortlessly put together without needing a trip to the store!



No matter which look you choose, these costumes prove that you don’t need a big budget or weeks of prep to look absolutely boo-tiful on Halloween! With a little creativity, and a few items from your closet, you can turn anything into the moment. So, grab your tools, slap on some glitter, throw on your best smile, and remember—if you’ve got it, haunt it!
