While we all appreciate a well-planned costume, some of the last-minute, no-effort costumes can be pretty incredible. So, if you’re like me, you’ve got two hours till you go to a Halloween party. What do you do? Procrastination is a catalyst for genius, my friends.

Here’s a few ideas to get your brain moving…

Option 1: Dwight Schrute

Hit up the thrift store, get yourself some squared glasses, a nasty yellow pastel, ugly tie, and boom! You’ve got your costume.

Option 2: Quarterback

Take a bunch of quarters, tape them to your back, and you’re a quarterback!

Option 3: Bob Ross

Grab a wig and palette. By the way, you can cut some wig hair, use some Elmer’s glue to give yourself a beard, and you’re golden.

Option 4: Sheep

Well, if you wrap yourself in a white, fuzzy blanket, you could probably pass as a sheep.

Option 5: Chick Magnet

I know it’s not Easter, but go to the store right now, buy some peeps, and tape them to your shirt. There you go! You’re a chick magnet.

Option 6: Apology

Yeah, you take effort to make no effort.

Option 8: Ginger Bread Man

Of course, we can’t leave out our red-headed friends.

Option 9: Apology #2

Yeah I know it’s pathetic, but you’ll still probably get candy.

Well, I hope you’re inspired. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t have the motivation to dress up, and don’t want to go through the humiliation of showing up in normal clothes, make your normal clothes a costume. If people think it was intentional, you’re all set.

Have a happy and safe Halloween!
