For a girl-on-the-go, a Halloween costume can sometimes be the last thing on your mind. So what’s a gal to do when your best buds invite you to a Halloween bash and you don’t have a costume to throw on? Check out these easy yet adorable costumes that’ll keep you stress-free and ready for fright night.

 

Rosie the Riveter

Harness your inner girl power with this Halloween DIY. Grab a denim button down, roll up the sleeves, pull your hair back, and wrap a red polka-dot handkerchief (Hint: No kerchief?  Snag some red & white polka dot fabric at your local fabric store.) around your locks to create this signature look. Add a little red lipstick and don’t forget to show a little muscle!

 

Try:
 

Twill Roll Shirt in Ink Blue, $23, oldnavy.com

 

Tutti Fruitti Collection, Small Polka Dot Red/White, joann.com



NYX Round Case Lipstick in Electra, $4, ulta.com

 

Where’s Waldo

Be the hardest to spot this Halloween when you dress up as our old friend, Waldo, or shall I say Wenda? Have fun with this one as you pair red stripes with jeans & funky glasses.

 

Try:
 

Mossimo Supply Co. Striped Shirt, $10, target.com



Elope Where’s Waldo Beanie Hat, $10, villagehatshop.com



Tort-ally awesome frames, $10, claires.com


Katniss Everdeen

Dress in all black and don’t forget the combat boots when you step into the arena for Halloween. Pull your hair back with Ms. Everdeen’s so-cinchy side braid and you’re ready to take on any district trying to snag your candy. Extra points if you can score a Mockingjay pin!

 

Try:

 

T-shirt, $10, hm.com

 

Cotton Poplin Cargo Pants, $35, sears.com

 

Black Swan

It’s like being a ballerina, but ten times cooler. The black swan is fierce--with this costume idea you’ll be sure to grab the attention of every trick-or-treater out there. Pair black leo and tutu with a tiara, intense eye makeup and don’t forget to pile your hair into a perfect ballerina bun!

 

Try:

 

Short sleeve scoop neck leotard, $14, dancewearsolutions.com

 

Black Tutu, $14, claires.com



Pretty Swirls Tiara, $6, claires.com

II try not to be too overachieving in class though cuz I don't really like the attention for that very much. But every once in a while I'll say something scholarly and my friends will be like, "Wow, you're probably going to go to Hrvard and be a brain surgeon." They mean it as something nice, but it makes me uncomfortable because I really, really, realy don't want to be a doctor or a lawyer or anything like that. I want to be an actress or a talk show host or a singer. Is that bad?


Hey girl,

You deserve to do whatever makes you happy! And as you grow up, you might find out that you have talents you didn't know you had, or that you thought you had a skill in one area when you really had a skill in another area. What you want might change as you get older (and you might decide you actually do want to be a doctor or lawyer!), but for now, just focus on doing well in school and don't worry about the future yet. You can pursue your dreams, whatever they are, as you grow up, and what your friends say won't matter. Keep up the good grades and you'll be great at whatever you decide to do!

Im having a hard time deciding what i want to be for Halloween. I need a couple ideas that would be cheap (like under $40) and original. I kinda want to be a vampire but the fangs i want are expensive and i can't find a costume i can wear to school. The outfit needs to cover my shoulders and can't be too low or too short.




Hey girl, I totally understand. Halloween's a fun little challenge in that way, but luckily there's tons you can be with clothes in your closet! Try brainstorming some of your fave movie and TV characters and see if you have any clothes that look like them. For example, one year I was Nancy Drew, so I used a brown dress I had and a trench. Get creative with what you've got and then add accessories to complete the look.

So I wanna do the Rosie the Riveter costume but Im not sure bout bottoms. Help please!!







Thats an awesome costume idea! Find a red polk-a-dot bandana for you head and a denim or blue button down shirt. Make sure to roll up the sleeves of shirt and apply red lip stick. As for the bottoms, wear jeans or blue/red pants. If you want to go all out, dirty up your face!
