This blog post is always a winner when you’re realizing the week of Halloween that you don’t have a costume! LOL. I had to republish it for all my fellow Halloween Procrastinators who didn’t see it the first time around. Also, I’m dying over the little Mateo bump in these pics! It seems like a lifetime ago.

ORIGINAL POST:

Happy Halloween! Welcome to the spookiest day of the year, and if you have yet to figure out what you’re dressing up as this year, you are not alone! Because everyone’s lives are super busy, and kids oftentimes take center stage when it comes to costumes and prep– adults can get left in the dust costume-wise.  But that doesn’t mean you lost out on celebrating! Today I thought I would share a list of simple, last-minute Halloween costumes you can put together from things you already have in your closet or around the house.  Anyone can do it!

I decided to pull out some pieces and do some specific makeup to turn myself into Wednesday Addams for this shoot…nothing better than a pregnant Wednesday. LOL. I can’t wait to hear if you try out some of these costume ideas!
