Last Minute Halloween Costume Fixes
Athletes:
Volleyball player: wear a muscle tank with a pair of shorts (basketball shorts for men, spandex shorts for women), pair of sneakers, and carry a volleyball (if you have them…why not throw in a pair of knee pads too! Make it official — give your "jersey" a number and name with some paint or markers!
Medical Professionals:
You can always find a uniform shop somewhere in your vicinity. Buy yourself some scrubs or even a lab coat. If there isn’t time for that, don some career wear and borrow from your kids' toy doctor's kit. Voila! Instant doctor or dentist.
Nurses wear scrubs these days too!
Model:
Quick and easy… wear your favorite, most fashionable outfit. Don't hold back, ladies, break out those pumps! Want to make it better, “hire” a friend as your photographer. Tie a string to your camera and hang it around your friend’s neck and have them snap pictures while you walk. You get two quick costumes instead of one AND you get to document your entire night. Just don't forget to put your smizing skills to use.
Vampire:
Even in the eleventh hour, party stores usually have those cheap-o plastic fangs. That’s all you really need, the rest is already in your closet. Guys, channel Damon and Stephan of PIX’s Vampire Diaries.Wear a black tee-shirt and black jeans or pants and black shoes. Girls, you can do the same or spice it up a bit with a sexy red or black dress, it's all about the mystique. Remember, show your fangs!
Referee:
Got black pants? You’re halfway there! Add a black and white striped polo shirt and a whistle and you’re done. Girls, always a way to spice it up… try a pair of black shorts instead with a pair of knee high socks.
Bootcamp:
Own a pair of cargo pants? Khaki, camouflage, black... any color works! You can pair that with a black wife beater or tee shirt and a pair of black boots. Mix it together and you are an instant boot camper. Make it authentic and cast a pal as your drill sergeant. Ten push-ups get you candy!
Gangster:
Guys, pull out that old suit you never wear and your fancy shoes. Buy a fedora at an accessory store or costume store and the effect is there. Get some friends together and you can be a gang. Rat pack anyone?
