Today I have created a selection of Halloween costumes that can be created from items you might already have at home or can get easily. I hope this is ready in time for all your Halloween parties and trick or treating! My best friend Amber requested this and I thought it could be useful to everyone who reads my blog!
Outfit 1 - Kim Possible
For this outfit, all you need is a black long sleeve crop top, khaki combat style trousers, black hi tops or ankle boots, black fingerless gloves and a brown belt. If you want you can add ginger long wig for Kim's hair.
For this outfit, you'll need a pair of dungarees, a plaid shirt, a pair of brown boots, a straw hat and some straw to tuck in the costume that you can find at any supermarket or pet shop!
Outfit 3 - Creepy Doll
For this one you just need either a pretty dress or a white shirt with a pinafore dress, knee high white socks and a pair of Mary Jane shoes . To finish it off, add a load of fake blood, a plastic knife and a creepy doll makeup look with a black messy wig or wear your hair in pigtails.
Outfit 4 - Marathon Runner
This one is really simple! You just need a pair of running shorts, a vest or sports bra, a hoodie or gilet with sports socks, trainers and sweatbands. If you want to add a fun extra touch, make a running number and tape it onto the vest!
This outfit is really simple and all you need is a button up shirt, braces, either long shorts or a skirt, long socks and black shoes. Then to finish it off you can just wear a pair of geek glasses, hair bows and a text book.
Outfit 6 - Baby
This is probably the most simple of the outfits - all you need is a onesie, slippers and a teddy bear. To finish it off just tie your hair in pigtails and get a dummy (if you don't want to use a real one just buy a candy one!).
Outfit 7 - Sandy (from Grease)
For this iconic outfit wear an off the shoulder black top, high waisted black leather-look or disco trousers, red heels and (if it is cold) a black leather jacket. Then to finish the look either curl your hair in tightly or wear a curly blonde wig.
Outfit 8 - Black Cat
To create this cute and fun cat look, wear a long sleeve black t-shirt and a black skirt, shorts or jeans with long black boots, a fur black gilet, black gloves, ears and a tail. If you want you can paint on a nose and whiskers.
This outfit is really easy to put together as it is just a band tee, denim shorts, a leather jacket and biker boots. Then to finish the look off you can just add biker gloves and a bandanna.

This outfit is just a dress with a matching bow, black wristbands, white tights, a black belt and black heels. You can do this outfit in green, blue or pink depending which you want to be (or you could do it as a group costume and do all three!).
Outfit 22 - Hippie

Outfit 24 - Barbie
This outfit is simply a pink dress, pink bag and pink heels with either an oversized faux-fur coat or a long mac and a pair of oversized sunglasses. If you wanted to go all out you could also make a Barbie doll box to walk around in.
This is a funny and simple outfit consisting of a Hawaiian shirt, long shorts, a bucket hat, sunglasses and the most important part - socks and sandals! You can also finish it off by carrying around a camera also.
Outfit 26 - Vampire
This is a simple outfit consisting of an LBD with tights and heeled boots, a cape and a pair of false fangs. You can also add a scary Halloween touch with painting on bite marks and fake blood.

Outfit 28 - Miss World
For this outfit you need a long prom style or maxi dress, a pair of heels and a clutch. Then you can simply add the biggest tiara or crown you can find and make yourself a miss world sash.
I hope you enjoyed all of these ideas and have seen something you could use for a costume if you didn't have one already! And if you have one, let me know what it is in the comments!
