What Last Minute Costume Do You Have Lurking in Your Closet?

As a fashion coach, I teach people to organize their closets in a way that gets them dressed quick and out the door looking amazing. I have been in A LOT of closets! These are a few easy costume ideas based on what you may already have lurking in your closet.  Do you own a white t-shirt? Jeans? Striped top? Black yoga pants? Anything fuzzy and furry looking? How about a new (or old is even better) barn coat? If yes to any of the above, I've got a great last minute costume you can throw together quick and get out the door looking appropriate and amazing! (Click on any of the images for shopping links.)

Dad Joke
Do you have a white t-shirt? A decent knowledge of corny jokes? Write them down on a big t-shirt, barrel jeans work great here as well, add a pillow (unless you have a baby bump), maybe a mustache and trucker hat and you’re all set to be classic dad joke. My favorite dad joke: What does a mermaid use to clean her clothes? Tide - hahahahahahaha

Mime
If you prefer to be understated, and not have to talk much, this one is perfect for you.
Black and white striped tee? Black yoga pants? Turn it into a mime costume with white gloves from the dollar store, black and white face paint and maybe a beret.  Ballet flats work great if you have them and voilà!

Fly Guy
Wear your black pants, black shirt, and glasses. Go and grab some foam core from the grocery store and this fly guy costume is all yours! This was one of my kid's favorite books because the fly would talk your ear off - it always sounded like buzzzzz. Here's a link to the book if you're in what all the buzz surrounding Fly Guy is all about.

Cheetah
Fuzzy sweater and/or anything animal print - just get yourself some ears and take a walk on the wild side. This one is subtle, tried and true and never fails. Feel free to add a tail or a hunter (below).

Hunter
One of the Fall trends I’m seeing is a barn coat. Add a newsboy cap, shirt and tie, simple pants and tall boots (wellies will do brilliantly).  This one is great if you have a hunting dog as an accessory, and a nerf gun wouldn't hurt.
