6 Thrifted Halloween Costumes Probably at Your Goodwill Right Now
We’ve all been there. Halloween is approaching fast and you still haven’t even thought about a costume. Or maybe you have for like, a second… but you can’t think of anything that sounds good so you give up. ALSO who the heck wants to spend $30+ on something you’re going to wear literally one time??? Not me! So I had an idea…
I started doing a little brainstorming and Googling and came up with some costumes I thought I could find at Goodwill! And you know what? I FOUND THEM. They aren’t all perfect, but I can almost guarantee you can find some version of each costume at the Goodwill in your town.
Cardigan (similar) // Jeans // Booties // Bodysuit // Earrings
Daphne (Scooby Doo)
I saw the shoes first, and the (very wrinkled) dress minutes later. The only thing I couldn’t find was the headband!
What you need:
Purple dress
Light purple/pink loafer-y shoes
Green scarf/ascot
Purple headband
Marty McFly (Back to the Future)
I actually could not have found more perfect matches if I’d tried. This is the one I brought home – pictures of me in it are coming soon!
What you need:
Red/orange puffy vest
Denim jacket
White and blue button up shirt
Jeans
White sneakers
Patti Mayonnaise (Doug)
Obviously this wasn’t a perfect find, but with some tweaks, it could be amazing!!
What you need:
Light blue top (preferably with pink polka dots)
Royal blue skirt
Pink sneakers
White tall socks
Nora Krank (Christmas with the Kranks)
This is one I GUARANTEE you can find some variation of at your Goodwill.
What you need:
White turtleneck top (preferably with some kind of tacky Christmas pattern)
Horrible Christmas/holiday sweatervest
Bangs optional 😉
Russell the Boy Scout (UP)
I’m not guaranteeing you’ll find a Boy Scout uniform at every Goodwill, but you know there’ve gotta be a LOT of these puppies floating around out there. Just saying.
What you need:
Boy Scout uniform
Backpack
Flag
Rope
A sash with million pins
All of the enthusiasm you can muster
Excited Sue (SNL)
Obviously it’s not super likely you’ll find this EXACT sweater at Goodwill, but it IS a safe bet that you’ll find an incredibly tacky 80s/90s sweater and a gross turtleneck.
What you need:
Incredibly tacky 80s/90s sweater with an obnoxious print (preferably color block)
Gross turtleneck (preferably yellow, though feel free to match it with your sweater of choice)
Big throwback brightly colored necklace
I hope you find the cheapest, most creative costume ever!! If not, I hope you found one of these. 😉 Happy Halloween!
Candidly,
Kristianna
