I love Halloween costumes. I think they’re (normally) really fun and I always like to see what everyone decides to get dressed as. But, as someone who is very lazy, it can be hard for me to put something together in time for Halloween. I spend hours looking through Halloween costume posts and am amazed at some people’s creative ideas, but when it comes to my actual costume, I tend to draw a blank. People with elaborate makeup look amazing, but I don’t have the time or skill to do any of that. I don’t want to be that girl who doesn’t dress up, but I also want to do something that is easy and still unique. It can be hard to have an awesome costume when you’re lazy AF.
Gone are the days where you head to the costume store and pay too much for an itchy polyester costume. It may not have been as fun, but it certainly didn’t take as much time! But here is some good news: there are some really simple costumes that will take you less than five minutes to put together, so you can wait until the last minute to decide what to wear, which is what always happens to us lazy girls anyway. Take a look at these genius costume ideas that will take little-to-no effort.
Life Give You Lemons
This costume can either be a super simple take on the popular phrase "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade," or it could be a Beyoncé reference. You decide! All you need is cardboard and lemons. Source: InstagramZombie
If you want to be a zombie but don't have time for all of that stressful makeup, simple draw some stitches on your neck with some eyeliner. Super easy, super creepy! Source: InstagramDeath Eater
We all know Harry Potter costumes are always in, but if you don't want to be a Hogwarts student this year, try to switch it up and be a Death Eater. Draw a super-creepy snake on your arm, wear all black, and you're good! Source: InstagramEmoji
Honestly, This is cute and takes basically no effort. Just throw on a pink shirt and make these poses any time anyone asks you what you are. So simple! Source: InstagramEmoji Puns
If you love the emoji idea, you can get a little creative and print out emoji's and hang it around your neck. This particular one is "House Wife," but you could come up with something else, like printing a cat and old woman emoji to be a "cat lady" Punny, right? you're welcome. Source: InstagramSpice Girl
Don't have a squad who is willing to dress up as the Spice Girls with you? No worries, just be your own spice, girl. Get it?! Carry around some cinnamon or pepper for a super easy costume, perfect for last minute girls. Source: InstagramSomeone You Can Count On
Ha! Be "someone you can count on" by writing numbers all over a plain white t-shirt. It's cute, easy and could potentially be worn after Halloween, if you're really into numbers. Source: InstagramCeiling Fan
Another super simple costume where all you need is a sign that says "Go Ceiling!" Throw in a pom-pom too, if you're not feeling too lazy. Source: Instagram404 Error
You know when it takes to long for Tumblr to load and you get a 404 error? Well, that's also a super easy costume idea. Just write "404 Costume Cannot Be Found" for a costume that will be done in less than five minutes. Source: InstagramRegina George
YES. Relive the classic Mean Girls moment by cutting some holes in an old tank top. Pair it with a colorful bra and a skirt and you're good to go! Source: InstagramBarbie
Have a pink dress and some lipstick? Perfect, you can go from zero to Barbie in two minutes. Extra points if you have a blonde wig! Source: InstagramBoo
If you have an over-sized pink shirt and some purple leggings, then you will have a perfect Boo from Monsters Inc costume. Put your hair in pony tails and if you really want to go all out, throw random temper tantrums. She is a toddler, after all. Source: InstagramWhere's Waldo
All you need for this one is a striped shirt, some glasses and a beanie. I'm sure you have all of those items laying around your house somewhere. Source: InstagramWhich of these costumes are you going to wear? Tell us in the comments!
