Rule #1: I don't want to spend more then 10-15 dollars.
Rule #2: It has to be appropriate and not bloody b/c I'll be wearing it at work.

Other then that .... help me decide please. :)

    last year my sister went as a paper-bag princess

    took a lawn bag turned it inside out, cut holes for arms, put a cute waist belt, heels & dollar-store crown & wand- she was cute & comfy all night

    The basics always work. A pair of cat ears and a black feather boa for a tail. Use a little eyeliner to color your nose and whiskers.

    If you have any craft stores nearby, they have their Halloween stuff on clearance. Joann Fabric had theirs at 60% off.

    I'm in the same spot as you - I'm costume-less but HAVE to dress up at work and I don't want to spend more than 15 bucks.

    looking forward to reading responses :)

    SIMPLE & FREE COSTUME ANYONE CAN WEAR:

    Open your kitchen cupboard. Grab a pot that you can comfortably put on your head. Congratulations. You're a pot head.

    Crazy Cat Lady

    You can get most of this at a dollar store. At least 4-5 stuffed animal kittens, shower cap, curlers, box of 9-Lives, some kind of bagged snack like Chex Mix or pretzels, and safety pins.

    Pin the kittens to a bathrobe or pajamas, wear the cap & curlers, empty box of cat food (maybe check with a local shelter if they'd want the contents, or dump it in your yard and birds, squirrels and stray cats will eat it), and stick bag of Chex Mix inside. Carry around the box and nibble out of it on occasion.
