This year, Halloween is on a Monday, just six days away. Do you have your costume yet? If not, don’t stress. The Pride has some ideas that are cheap, quick and fun.

Wishing it was summer again? It could be. After all, Halloween is the excuse to outlaw all fashion rules. Take out your favorite swimsuit and splotch some sunscreen on your nose. To up your lifeguard costume, get yourself a whistle and an inflatable inner tube from the Dollar Store.

For a more comedic costume, get your favorite cereal and literally become a “cereal” killer. Flatten out some cereal boxes and tape them to a plain shirt. Think outside the box and get a rubber knife to make your costume more imaginative.

Unleash your inner rocker and take out your Green Day concert shirt from the closet. Put on some dark jeans, tease your hair and put on some intense eyeliner. Dressing up as a rock star is great because you can personalize it your way. If you don’t have an intense rock star shirt but have something a little more mellow like a Maroon 5 shirt, become a band’s groupie.

Whatever sport you enjoy, take out your favorite team’s jersey to show your appreciation. Just because baseball season just ended and basketball has a two week lockout doesn’t mean you have to store your uniform in the closet. This is a simple and easy costume to put together, but you still get to dress up.

If you and your friends don’t what to do as a group, dress up as the adorable 101 Dalmatians. All you need is a plain white shirt, black or white shorts, white socks, and white shoes. Get a black sharpie and draw black spots on your white plain shirt and socks. Put your hair up in pigtails and wear a cute necklace as your collar.

Are you a fan of socks and sneakers? Go as an American tacky tourist. Put on a shirt you got from vacation, shorts and dig in your parents’ closet for a fanny pack. The best thing about being a tacky tourist is that you can personalize it. If you are a huge Disney fan, dress as if you are going to Disney World. If you have always wanted to go to Hawaii, put on a tacky Hawaiian shirt.
