Last Minute Halloween Costumes for 2024

October 15, 2024 · In: Fall & Winter, Fashion, Lifestyle

Halloween is just a few weeks away! While I don’t really dress up for Halloween, I do understand something may pop up where you need a costume short notice. Today I wanted to share some last minute halloween costume ideas where you can potentially get pieces from your own closet – or you can have them quickly delivered thanks to Amazon.

And no, these aren’t going to be cheesy last minute Halloween costumes. The goal is to make them cute and accessible! Plus, offer a variety of options depending on the event. Enjoy!

Holly Golightly

I feel like Holly Golightly is a super common Halloween costume – but typically with her black dress look from the film. However, I think the pajamas are a super cute costume idea – and can be thrown together pretty easily! While you can purchase a sleep shirt like hers’ – I think an oversized white button up is just as good. Then you can either DIY or purchase her iconic sleep mask. They also have sets that include the ear plugs. Or you can wear purple tassel earrings to get the point across. I found this set where you can get everything you need as well. This would be great if you live somewhere that isn’t too cold for Halloween!

Sabrina Carpenter

If you’re willing to go for a look that’s a bit more spicy – I think dressing up as Sabrina Carpenter could be so cute! There are so many looks you could be inspired by. However, one thing you cannot forget it a rhinestone microphone. While many of Sabrina’s look are a bit more risque, you can easily make yourself feel more comfortable with shorts like these and throw on a feather trimmed robe like this. Wear some sort of corset/lingerie top – and bonus points if you have or buy platform boots!

Circus Animal Sprinkle Cookie

If you want something a bit more generic but still cute, I love the idea of doing a DIY circus animal cookie outfit! You can do this in a variety of ways with items you can find around the house or at the craft store. Get a pink dress, oversized tee, etc – then just add colorful pompoms on with fabric glue! Grab a pair of pink animal ears – or DIY some with a headband and craft foam and you’re ready to go. You could also do this with white rather than pink – whatever you prefer or is easily accessible. This can also be a cute family costume! Also major bonus points if you hand out packs of the cookies to trick or treaters.

Minnie Mouse

This next one is a last minute costume I have certainly taken advantage of – Minnie Mouse! Many of us have a pair of Minnie ears in a box somewhere – but you can easily find a pair on Amazon or at a local store in the party or toy section. And then you just need black and red clothing! While polka dots are preferable, I think red gets the point across just the same. I love that this one you can easily adjust for your weather – like wearing a black turtle neck and black tights for warmth. And bonus points if you have yellow shoes!

Candy Corn

My final idea is a bit more kitschy, but you can truly customize this idea to your style and the weather which I love! It may require some shopping though, as the colors are pretty specific. You’ll need some sort of white head accessory, like a white beanie. Then you’ll need an orange top of some sort. And finally, yellow bottoms. You’re a candy corn! Simple yet still cute!

My prayer is that next year brings the blessings we hoped and prayed for this year, whether those things are big or small.

I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @mo I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @morganjuliadesigns brand new Jersey City location on our way home from NYC🫶🏼 This only added about 20min to our trip which was well worth it!🪡 Such a beautiful shop with so many great canvases👏🏼

Some tidbits from our trip as a NYC first-timer🚕
 
We stayed at @omniberkshirenyc - overall we enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect (right in between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) and was a short walk to Rockefeller and Central Park. Only complaint is that the rooms were very hot (75*+). They also had valet parking that we utilized. We drove into the city and while time consuming it wasn’t as stressful/difficult as we had imagined. I’d certainly drive in again.

Our highlights were @therockettes and walking through Central Park. We walked everywhere with the exception of a boat ride we did. We booked a car through RideLux for that which I do not recommend, about equal service to Uber for 2x the price. 

The boat ride with Classic Harbor Line felt like it wasn’t worth the $100/pp price tag. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was neat, but that was about it. Also, if you get sea sick CHL is NOT for you! 

Shopping overall was underwhelming, but we did hit the classic FAO Schwarz which regardless of the long line this time of year was a must-do! We got there 10min before opening and only waited about 10min after opening to get in. 

As for dining we did some quick spots around the city including Springbone Kitchen - perfect for a fast casual but healthy meal - we did pick up and took it to our room! Ralph’s Coffee in UES was also on my must-do list and honestly it didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to the Paris and NYC locations now and both times it’s been delicious and the perfect drinking temperature, even if you do have to wait a bit. For dinner we got a same day reservation for BG at Bergdorf’s - the food and service were great and reasonably priced imo!

I’m so happy we got to experience NYC at Christmas as it’s been on my bucket list my entire life! I love a trip filled with firsts, since they’re what make lasting memories!✨

✨48hrs in NYC✨ Somehow at 27 I had still never ✨48hrs in NYC✨
Somehow at 27 I had still never been to NYC until now🌃 I’ve always dreamed of going to NYC as a little girl, especially at Christmas! Today dreams came true with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see @therockettes and it did not disappoint👏🏼 I’ll be sharing more tidbits from my trip over the next few days🚕

*also brownie points to whoever can tell me where this iconic townhome is from😉*

30 hours at the most festive place on earth🏰🎄

We booked this trip after my miscarriage so we could get out of town, even just for a night, and embrace ourselves in holiday magic✨ While nothing will take away the pain and heartache, distractions help the days pass faster🤍

Next week we’re off to NYC for a few days full of firsts!🚕 Defintiely nervous but excited for this bucket list trip✅
