Unfortunately, some of us don’t have extravagant work or holiday parties to attend… (I mean, do they even really exist?!

It’s that time of year again…Halloween! If you know me at all, then you know I absolutely LOVE costumes, as evidenced by my numerous costume posts. Unfortunately, Halloween always occurs during (possibly) the busiest time of year for me.

That’s why today’s post is dedicated to the best last-minute and DIY Halloween costumes on the web! Perfect for any busy bees out there or broke college students who can’t spend a fortune on anything store-bought. Continue reading “The Best Last-Minute Halloween Costumes”
