Dear Miss Molly,

Halloween is tomorrow and I still don’t have a costume. I don’t want to waste money on an outfit that I’m only going to wear for one night. Do you have any suggestions for easy costumes that I can make out of stuff I already have?

Sincerely,

Costumeless

Dear Costumeless,

You are absolutely right about wasting money on buying premade Halloween costumes. As college students, money is always tight, so why would you throw $20 down the drain on a sexy nurse costume? Think of all the Starbucks lattes or beers you could buy with that precious money. Creating a Halloween costume with things you already have around your room is easy. For those ladies who like to hit the gym on a regular basis, working-out Barbie is an easy costume. Assuming you have one, wear a pink sports bra and black spandex leggings or shorts and sneakers. If you don’t have pink, any other bright colored sports bra will work. To finish off the look, create a “B” with pink paper and glue or safety pin it to the sports bra. Add some bronzer to your face, mascara, and a bold pink lip. Throw your hair in a high side ponytail with a pink ribbon, add lots of jewels, and your look is complete! The outfit is comfy and cute. All you need now is to find your Ken, but I’m sure after a few cocktails that will be easy. Now for the bros out there, find a couple buddies and be men in black. Most guys have suites anyway, so just wear a black suite and some shades and you are good to go. If you’re a lady and aren’t big into working out or being overly girly, another easy idea is thing 1 and thing 2. Dress up with you roomie in red and blue with thing 1 and thing 2 signs. Finish off the look with fun makeup and pigtails. And for the boys who would rather not potentially ruin their best suite on a night out, an easy and funny idea is a nerdy runner. Put on your shortest pair of shorts (or even borrow your girlfriends), high socks, running shoes, and maybe even some sweatbands. If you’re very confident, go shirtless! Otherwise, a tight tank or singlet would work just fine. I hope some of these ideas are appealing to you, and if all else fails, you could always be a mouse. “I’m a mouse, duh.” Happy Halloween, Fairfield.

Love always,

Miss Molly
