Pink wig + glasses + something = Halloween

October 31, 2015 1:36 PM

OK, I have done some googling, but no good finds yet -- I need help with last-minute Halloween costume ideas using a short pink wig and my own glasses... I'm average weight and pretty short.

I have a pink wig and cat ears and I am going as Princess Carolyn from Bojack Horseman.

Frenchy from Grease?

Knowing the style of the wig and what your glasses look like would be a big help.

Unless your glasses are really flashy and distinctive I think you should center the costume around the wig, because obviously people wear their glasses on Halloween if they need to see.

Jem?

Bubble gum?

A cupcake?

If you can spike the wig hair up you could go as a troll doll.

And to answer Sara C. -- glasses are: fun oval-ish purple plastic frames OR Rachel Maddow-ish brown plastic frames.

If you like punny costumes, you could wear a white slip and write "you're fired" somewhere and be a "pink slip."

Princess Bubblegum has worn her hair various ways, and if you make her crown out of paper or something, she'd be recognizable. (You could be hipster Princess Bubblegum or something, with the glasses. :))

Velma from Scooby Do! All you need is a turtleneck, short skirt, and knee socks.

Thanks for the awesome ideas -- I will remember these for next time! I went with Unikitty in the end.
