Okay, show of hands, who decided they were too old to dress up when they hit about 10 years old? No one? Just me? Oh, okay. Well, in any case, though we as young adults are well past the trick-or-treat age, that doesn't change the fact that Halloween is still a pretty prominent day in our society. So if you find yourself dragged to a party or roped into taking your little siblings out, here are a few easy, last minute costume ideas for you.
1. An assortment of fruit.
You and a couple friends looking to go out together? Grab a couple big T-shirts, fabric paint, and some green felt and you're good to go.
2. Damian from "Mean Girls."
All it takes is a blue hoodie and some black sunglasses to create this iconic character's look.
3. Life.
Take one of those white T-shirts you have stuffed in the back of your drawer and pick up a bag of lemons on your way out. Done and done.
4. Error message.
If you don't mind the eye-rolling and "Really?" looks you'll get all night, this "costume" might be the one for you. Just grab yourself a Sharpie and white T-shirt and you're efforts will be completed.
5. Rosie the Riveter
With some bold red lips, a red bandana and a jean shirt, you'll have yourself a cute and historical costume.
6. Plank from "Ed, Edd n Eddy."
Dig that box your (unused) desk came in our of the recycle and, with the help of a few Sharpies, you have a costume any young adult will get nostalgic over.
7. Jake from State Farm and Flo from Progressive.
Just take a quick trip to Walmart for a few basic clothing pieces and you and your significant other can be the ultimate power couple.
8. A ghost.
Going with the classic look can never be frowned upon! Cut some holes in your bed sheets (or grab some dark sunglasses) and you're good for the night.
9. Ceiling fan.
Get it? This oh-so clever costume can be accomplished with a cheap crew neck sweatshirt and some iron-on letters.
And, of course.....
10. Three hole-punch Jim
Easy and recognizable, this costume is guaranteed to get you a laugh.... you know, from anyone who gets it. Some black construction paper and standard work attire will do.
