I’m here to help with your last-minute Halloween costume idea!

Last year me & some pals went as a fleet of sailors, which was pretty lo-fi. You just get a sailor hat, wear navy blue & white, maybe a scarf, some seahorse bling, whatever. This year I’m not dressing up. I don’t care who comes out with some fantastical nutso Halloween party where costumes are mandatory. No. Not feeling it.

BUT maybe you guys are totally feeling it! I don’t mean to rain on anybody’s candy parade. That’s why I compiled this list of idea resources for those who are stumped & freaking out right now. Pretty sweet of me, right? Candy’s accepted if you find a winner in this list.
