The Lazy Girl's Halloween Costume Guide

Some girls live for Halloween. You can tell. It's that glorious time of the year when they can wear even shorter skirts and even more cleavagey tops than usual.

Halloween: the only time of year the word "sexy" can be used to describe Spongebob.

And some girls don't. Some girls tend to forget that they should get a Halloween costume until the afternoon before the party when their girlfriends call and say, "Hey! Get dressed up! We're going out tonight!" and then it's only thirty minutes until they have to show up dressed as something witty, amusing, sexy, or scary.

Well fear not, Lazy Girl! I too am a procrastinator (example A: it's been a month since I posted...) and I have your easy solution to how to throw together the perfect ANYTHING costume. It's three simple steps:

1. Look in your closet. Pick out the most interesting article of clothing and decide on what the costume could be. This year, I had a lime green mini dress. Who wears green dresses? Tinkerbell!

2. Add some accessories. Last year, I paired a red beret with a scarf and a black-and-white striped shirt. Instant Frenchman!

3. Do the makeup. This is perhaps the most important. Last year, my Frenchman costume was completed with a curly mustache drawn on in eyeliner pencil, and just between you and me, the boys found it IRRESISTIBLE.

You're welcome. Now go party!
