10 Easy Last Minute Halloween Costumes

You may know me as the girl who lives in her van with a bunch of dress up clothes. Although that may seem odd to most, to me dressing up for Halloween was a yearly highlight growing up. While I live on the road and no longer have access to my buckets of dress-up clothes, my Halloween costume this year will need to be easy and with minimal shopping. So I’ve created a list of easy, last minute Halloween costumes that anyone can pull off that should take minimal effort and very little room in your closet.
