Halloween is less than a week away and the time for last-minute stitching and/or shopping has come. Being the eternal procrastinator, I never know what I want to be until the night before has come and I’m rummaging frantically through my closet, tossing useless shirts and shoes to the side, and finding almost the perfect costume until I realize I just needed one more simple thing. So, for those who figured an idea of what to be would eventually come to them and it still has yet to do so, here’s a list of 25 last-minute costumes.
