Halloween costume for 19 year old
Hi I'm 19/F. Haven't gone out for halloween in five years but this year my friends and I from college residence are going to go trick-or-treating!!!!
Nothing sexy. I want things that will hopefully keep me warm. Affordable. I'd look good as a hot cop but that will not get me candy at people's door.
Costumes are about 90 bucks in stores and websites. The only thing I could think of is paper bag princess. Any ideas?

I know your problem. I'm in my 20s and my friends and I have Halloween parties every year. It's not near as easy to dress up for it now as it was when I was a kid, but I usually dress up as a character from one of my favorite movies. Many times, it costs little to no money. For example, in 2010, one of my friends, who is a big Tim Burton fan wanted us dress up as characters from one of Burton's movies. I chose to be Corpse Bride and my boyfriend was the guy from that movie. All I had to buy was a white cape, a cheap wig, and blue makeup. I made the cape look like a wedding dress with some lace, made a vail out of a plastic tiara and fabric my sister had, put on the wig, and painted my face blue with the makeup. All my boyfriend had to do was wear a suit and hairstyle that looked like his character's. Last year, we dressed up as Jed and Ellie May Clampett, embarrassingly enough with only clothes that we or our relatives already had and I attached little stuffed animals to my shoulders, since Ellie May had all kinds of pets. A friend of mine went last year as Cameron Diaz from, "Bad Teacher." All she had to buy was a dodgeball and a world's best teacher mug to carry around. Then, she just wore a black dress and acted like that character all night. It was really good. You don't necessarily have to buy an entire costume. Try to think of something clever you can be and see if you might can use things you already have for the costume.
Good luck and I hope I helped!

I don't work for these people nor have an connection to them but this party supply web site could help. They have costumes listed in categories such as kids, teens, adults, women, men and even plus size ideas. The good thing is the photos of each idea.
Maybe it will trigger something in you that you find tasteful rather than tasteless. Also, trust your own GUT and creativity. If you have an idea for Paperback Princess try running with it first. It may be the perfect costume in the end.

In Canada they have Fabricland where you can buy all kinds of fabrics to make all kinds of costumes and clothing cheaply. I don't know what they call these stores in the U.S. and abroad but once you get an idea for something you can think of how to put it together and buy rolls of fabrics cheaply as they must exist. You just need to know how to sow--that's the hardest part.

Ask your friends what they're doing. If you don't like their idea, talk to them about dressing up as a costume that will match! Like the Three Blind Mice.
Just ask around. That'll give you ideas for your costume! :)
Good luck,
Bella xoxo
