Last Minute Halloween Costume

In case you're looking for something inexpensive (in this case, pretty much free) and last minute for Halloween this year, I have your answer!

Last year, the hubster and I went to a casual costume dinner at a friend's house and dressed as a team on the Amazing Race. Simple, cheap and super comfortable. Perfect combination!



We wore black workout pants, matching blue shirts and black jackets. We stuffed our hiking backpacks with pillows (lightest pack ever!) but you could just use a normal backpack if you don't have a full hiking kind.

After a quick google image search for Amazing Race, I printed off the logo and attached it to a manila envelope. To take it one step further, I printed off "Road Blocks" and "Mission" cards that went inside the envelope- both are aspects of the show! I attached these to our backpacks with carabiners and a rubber band.

Simple doesn't describe how easy this costume was to create and we got to wear workout clothes all night which was basically like wearing classy pajamas.

Hope this helps any last minute costume binds!
Laura
