hello everyone! today i am going to be talking about some last minute Halloween costumes. this is kind of a weird idea, and some of the ideas are so stupid, but you know, they are at least a little bit funny. so, i hope you enjoy them, and maybe get a little bit of a laugh.
the first character is Audrey Rose Wadsworth. for thsi costume you would need a black t shirt or hoddie, or you can even use one of the colors she wears on the book covers. but, then you would also need some fake roses, cut the stem off of them, and then you can pin it to your shirt!
that is honestly kind of a dumb idea, but it works in some weird way. and i feel like since everyone loves this characters, so if you don’t want to spent a load of money of a big dress, or even make a big one. so, i mean i think this works in some way, but who knows.
so the next character is Percy Jackson. this is kind of a basic one, and i feel like half of the world as done one of these costumes. but, all you would need is a orange t shirt, and you can find the percy jackson logo online somewhere. you can either iron it on, or if your feeling very confident, you can draw it on. or you can just cave an order on online, and hope it gets here on time. and then you can just use jeans or sweats. then if you want to do Annabeth, just put on a baseball cap and then some type of necklace.
again, this is kind of a basic costume idea, but i mean everyone loves these characters. so, these could work in someway if you want to be one of these characters. and i mean it’s so simple, and i even did this a couple years ago. i believe like 4 years ago, and it was so freaking simple.
the next idea is Wolf from Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. for this one you’ll need grey sweatpants, a big t shirt, military boots, fake werewolf teeth, and then a sharpie or eyeliner. you’ll need to use the sharpie or eyeliner and write “LSOP962.” and that needs to be on your left arm.
there kind of is a downside with this, since a lot of people might think you are just a super lazy werewolf, instead of a book character. but, this still is kind of cool. since so many people love this series, so i guess someone should recognize you. and especially if you post this on your bookstagram or something, people are probably going to love it.
Celaena Sardothein from Throne of Glass. for this one you’ll need black pants, black shirt, black boots, and then some sort of knifes or daggers. i would probably not bring the knifes if you are going out (which you shouldn’t because of covid) and just use the knifes for pictures so you don’t accidently stab somebody.
this is honestly kind of a badass costume. and since this since so many people love this series somebody is bound to get it. but, this costume will pack some sort of punch on bookstagram, since everyone loves that series so much, and everyone will probably die when they see it.
the next costume idea is the kingdom keepers. this is a sure basic idea, and it’s super easy. there’s three different ways that you can do this costume, and their super easy to do, no matter which one you choose.
- a black t shirt, a black pair of jeans, gym shoes or boots, a sword/knife.
- a Disney t shirt/hoodie, sweatpants, gym shoes
- pajamas and barefoot/slippers
so, this is a super easy costume idea, and i’ve been them a couple times, probably an embarrassing amount of times. and honestly this is so simply and honestly pretty comfortable in my mind. this has probably been one of my favorite costumes, since it is just so comfortable.
pip and ravi from a good girls guide to murder. this honestly works better as a couple costume, but it still works of them. for pip you are going to need to wear some sort of t shirt (bonus points if its about math, school, or something about being a nerd,) jeans, black converse, and a zip up or hoodie. then for Ravi you are going to be needing a hoodie, jeans, and then some sort of boots. you can also use a flannel for Ravi.
this is kind of a basic idea, and most people probably won’t understand it, but it still would be so cute. and i mean i feel like everyone and their mother has read this book, so it works to some degree. and if you really want to do a group costume, you can always bring in Andie Bell and Sal, d even the rest of Pip friends.
Sadie from Sadie. for this book you will need to get an old t shirt (preferably white,) old jeans, sneakers, and then a red jacket. this is honestly so simple, and it honestly could work so good.
and honestly if you do it well enough, a lot of people will understand it, since it is on the cover. so, this honestly could work in so many different ways. and if you want to do it really good, you can also pair it with the next idea, but just make the cardboard a little bit smaller, so it says the title and the author.
the next costume is a book. for this costume you will need a poster board, string, and then paint or a sharpie. for this costume all you’ll need to do is paint/draw your favorite cover on there. then, you of course will need to tie this around your neck with the string. if you want to go all out, you can dress up as that book character underneath your book cover.
this is honestly a super simple idea, and it works if you want to show some pride in your favorite books. and this will honestly let all your artist talents shine. or, if you’re like me and can’t draw, it can show people how terrible you are at drawing.
anyway, that’s it for today! i honestly had so much fun with writing this post, and i think that this was so cool. and i honestly kind of want to make a post somewhat like this again, but maybe with what i think bookish couples will be. but, happy freak week and we only got one more day to go!
