Remix It! Simple Halloween Costumes in Your Closet Part 2 - Cartoon Cuties

I had so much fun with the first Halloween post this week that I decided to do another.  After all I am only going to do this blog for 6 months so there will not be a Halloween post to look forward to for next year.  This is for all of you procrastinators out there.... you know who you are... the ones who still haven't thought about your Halloween costume. Instead of waiting in line at the last minute for an off the rack costume try using your imagination to expand on some the ideas below.

This is a little BONUS and the most comfortable Halloween Couple Costume idea ever.  My hubby and I did this last year.  We were cloudy with a chance of rain.  I made a tutu ( and sewed little puffy clouds on my grey shirt) and it was cute, but not key for this outfit to work.  Just grab your grey sweats, a yellow hair bow, and a spray bottle.  When people ask what you are squirt them with the spray bottle and say, "Cloudy with a Chance of Rain."  Easiest costume ever!

Grab any yellow skirt and a cobalt top.  Throw in some red accessories and a top it off with a pretty little red bow and you are set!

Olive Oil is about as easy as you can get - I refuse to believe you do not that similar items hanging out in your closet RIGHT NOW! You have officially lost your excuse to not participate - now get started on your Olive Oil costume.

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?  Not real sure, but pair a red dress or jacket with a few yellow accessories and a her hat.  You will be sneaking your way into a spectacular Halloween costume.

This is another really simple idea.  Grab a blue dress, blue socks, and tote around a football. DONE!

Think of this as a modern Minnie.  You can probably steal some ears from your child, but if not you can simply cut out two black circles and attach them to a headband.  Pick out anything black, white, and polka dot - the ears will sell the entire outfit for you.

If you have glasses and some basics, this is another easy one.  Throw everything and shoot for that disheveled look.

My husband actually went a Dora several years ago.  He went the extra mile and painted himself orange and bought a wig, but the basics shown above with do just fine in a pinch.

I am linking-up with a few other blogs on this one! Everyone can find something wonderful at eighteen25. They have you covered for all of your ghoulish treats! Fugal Foodie Mama has a scary selection of Halloween ideas all week long. We have got you covered!

I wanted to give you a few options from my own closet that can be remixed into Halloween costumes and all you need is your closet, imagination, and a few key accessories to finish off your look. You have 10 days to check your local store or order a few inexpensive accessories ($2 - $15 range) from Amazon to complete your look. If you enjoyed this post, then please share it! 

This one is really easy. I literally have everything I need right in my closet. All you need to do is tie-up your hair in the bandanna and roll-up your sleeves. Voila! Halloween costume complete. 

I pretty much have the foundation of this costume in my closet.  The only things I would need to track down are the white gloves, black hat, and fake flowers.   

This is one that I will not be rocking anytime soon, but if you got-it and you want to flaunt it the more power to you. Everyone has these basics in their closet - even if you have to cut-off an old pair of jeans to make your little daisy duke jorts.  

For this costume you might need to raid your husbands/significant other's closet for the black/dark colored tie. The bowler hat is a must to rock this look and don't forget the mustache.

This costume is simple.  You can pull together pretty much ANYTHING you have in your closet. The key to this costume is the mockingjay pin ($3.49) and your hair needs to be in a braid. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Grab any shirt that is red and white striped and throw on a red beanie.  If you have wide rimmed glasses, a camera, and a cane then that would take this basic costume up a notch.

Wear yellow, grab some Morton Salt, and an umbrella - consider yourself Halloween ready!

Grab your tightest black pants and rock out with teased hair!

I like this costume because the more bling - the better.  Make sure you complete your look with the long black gloves and an up-do for your tresses. 

This one is a two-fer with a few simple accessory changes you can take this look from Mime to Burglar.  I would probably have to opt for the burglar simply because of my distaste for face paint, but basically you need a black mask, black gloves, white gloves, or a black hat. You might even want to add a bag stuffed with money for your burglar to sneak around with. ** Check out the updated below where I actually make three different costumes from this one basic outfit!
