While shopping for a Halloween costume this year, I constantly caught myself thinking, “That would be so easy to make. Why would you spend money on this?”
There are so many simple costumes that most of us have components of, or could easily find at Goodwill or one of Lawrence’s many thrift store. This Halloween, don’t waste money on an expensive costume you’ll only wear a few times.
Instead, go to a costume store for ideas, think of what you already own and what you can get cheap and make your own costume. Stand out by wearing your unique Halloween creation and avoid being one of five French maids at the party.

Do pick out a costume that flatters your figure or hides the parts you don’t want seen. Don’t assume because a girl is wearing one of those “sexy costumes” that she wants you to make a move.
Costume stores don’t exactly offer girls costumes like they used to when we were kids. It might be the coolest thing ever if you’re a guy to offer a girl your jacket because chances are her costume isn’t keeping her warm at all.
On that note, please choose a costume that will keep your naughty bits covered should you get a little too intoxicated and make a fool of yourself. At least keep your physical dignity if you can’t keep your mental dignity.
