Last Minute Halloween Costumes for Little Girls!

Halloween is just around the corner and if you are anything like me, costumes usually get thrown together last minute if at all!  So I thought I would share three last minute costume ideas for girls! Whether you are taking your kiddos out this weekend or on Tuesday, they can be put together in an hour or two with things that you may already have laying around! 

*BTW I am not even thinking of dressing up my ten month old this year because this is real life and I just can't be bothered haha! 

1. Jane Goodall  

I have had this old hat laying around for awhile and so when I was coming up with some costume ideas I instantly thought of Jane Goodall!  The hat is way too big for her but I think it adds to the whimsy of the costume and it's pretty adorable too!  For the rest of the outfit I layered a denim button up over a turtle neck and pushed up the sleeves a bit.  Not pictured are jeans and boots.  I also didn't get a good picture of her "binoculars" but all I did was cut a paper towel role in half, painted it gold, added some glitter, and then glued the two halves together.  

I LOVE how this one turned out I just think that Ezrah looks too cute and it was so easy to put together!  After we finished taking these pictures she insisted on going bird watching with her binoculars.  I think that dressing up as Jane Goodall completely captures her adventurous spirit! 


2. Tiny Dancer 

If you have girls then this one will probably be the most simple to throw together because chances are you have a tutu (or tu) laying around.  For Ezrah I just paired her skirt with a black leotard and a black ribbon and I was done.  This costume may be better if you are doing something in doors or if you live in a warmer climate that way you don't have to cover any of it with a jacket!


3. Hermione Granger 

I just felt that I couldn't complete this without including Hermione!  This was super simple to put together.  I just put a black sweater over a grey turtle neck paired it with some shorts (my husband has always called these shorts Harry Potter pants so they seemed fitting!) and some black tights. To bring in the Gryffindor spirit I added a scarf and matching yellow shoes.  I did braid her hair the night before we took these pictures to get the full effect but if you don't have time this step is totally optional! And last but not least, who is Hermione without a book?!  I wouldn't expect them to trick-or-treat all night with a book (Ezrah "got tired" like three seconds in) but it's a great prop for pictures before your leave!


Ok, now that it's all said and done I can't even pick a favorite so I am excited to see which one Ezrah will choose to be this year!  Personally, I think that making you're own costumes is far better than going out an buying them.  I had so much fun putting this together and I hope it was helpful to some of you girl moms out there!  

If you already have plans for your kids, what are they dressing up as, what are you dressing up as? I would love to know!  

Wishing you all a fun and safe night of trick-or-treating!

    1. Thank you! I think Hermione is one of my favorites too because of the hair! My daughter normally has super fine, straight hair so it was fun to see the transformation!
