With Halloween right around the corner, it can be hard to choose an awesome yet affordable costume in such a short time. Here are some impressive costume ideas that\u2019ll give you bang for your buck!<\/p>\n

Only 90\u2019s kids will understand these nostalgic costumes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sugar, spice and everything nice\u2026? Don\u2019t dress as your average spice girl. Throw it back with the Powerpuff Girls! All you\u2019ll need is a (sky blue, pink or green) dress, thick black waist belt and white socks with black shoes. Get together with your friends and dress as the classic trio.<\/li>\n
  2. What\u2019s up, doc? Looking to win best couple this Halloween? This year, be your classic Bugs and Lola Bunny from Space Jam. Grab yourself a white tank top and duck tape your name in all caps \u201cLOLA\u201d and \u201cBUGS\u201d on the back of your shirts. Put on your white shorts, socks and your favorite bunny ears.<\/li>\n
  3. Want to be unrecognizable this Halloween? Be so unrecognizable that your friends will be constantly asking, \u201cWhere\u2019s Waldo?\u201d That\u2019s right. Put on any red and white striped shirt, jeans, a red beanie and thick black glasses to blend in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Throwback is not really your style you say? Your friends will be in awe at how clever these costume ideas are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1. From the top! Start off with a white button up top, navy blue cardigan or blazer and a navy blue skirt. Don\u2019t forget your yellow neck chief! Introducing the Barden Bellas, three time ICCA champions!<\/li>\n
    2. Partner up this Halloween to Netflix and Chill. Write \u201cNetflix\u201d on a red top and \u201cChill\u201d on a blue top. Then Netflix and Chill these tops with your Netflix and Chill partner.<\/li>\n
    3. \u2018Tis the season! Dress up as a hunter and a deer this Halloween. Put together your finest hunting gear and have your partner wear all brown. With a little face paint, you guys would definitely have a shot at best pair!<\/li>\n
    4. Pom pom it up and be a gum ball machine. First, you\u2019ll need any plain top that you\u2019re willing to get covered in pom pom balls.

      2. Grab a flannel and be your common scarecrow this year. Add a couple [fake] stitches on your face and you\u2019re good to go! You could even top it off with a hat or some hay up your sleeves.<\/li>\n
      3. Don\u2019t just be an old wizard with the blue cape. Be a Hogwarts wizard, in any house you choose. Put on a white button up, black cape, and wear a tie that correlates with your house. Don\u2019t forget to bring your wand to protect yourself from the Dark Lord.<\/li>\n
