Creating a costume usually requires some advance planning, but if the candy corn sugar high suddenly got you in the Halloween spirit, don't go out an buy a last-minute costume -- there won't be anything good left anyway -- and get creative with items from your closet!
Here's a roundup of a few ideas...
Cardboard from the recycling bin, a ribbon and some paint from the craft bin + white gloves = The Green M&M.

| Morton Salt Girl via Brit+Co. |
If one has some sunny yellow clothes in her closet, this Morton Salt costume is adorable.
 |
| Evil Queen via Martha Stewart and Pop Art via Brit+Co. |
Regular make-up from one's make-up bag can create dramatic costumes like these. I adore the pop art one! I might need to steal that idea for next year...
 |
| Bottleneck and Pumpkin pie from Real Simple |
For a costume with some slightly cheesy humor, one could be a Bottleneck or a Pumpkin Pie...
 |
| Rosie the Riveter from Babble |
Red lipstick + red scarf + blue shirt = Rosie the Riveter.
 |
| Mary Poppins from Babble |
I went as Mary Poppins a few years ago because I knew I had everything in my closet. This Mary Poppins looks amazing!
 |
| Witch from Martha Stewart |
And if all else fails, any old hat plus an accessory works just fine...
Cowboy hat + rope
Bike helmet + leather jacket
Black paper rolled into a witch's hat + something black
Hope you have a happy and SCARY Halloween!
