Answer 2

I'm giving this answer all over today. Very good suggestions if you ask me ^_^

Here are some cute ideas:

Pirate: pirate costums seem complicated but it's all about layering. start with a pair of jeans and a tank top (very tight). Next put on a short skirt over the jeans, and a deep necked tee shirt over the tank top. Put on a bandana, and wrap an old hoodie around your waist. if you have a thin tattered peice of linin, turn it into a shaw. Make a long golden necklace your belt, use tons of jewerly, and alot of mascara.

Anime Girl: Knee socks, tight tankie, short skirt, hairspray, and mascara is all you'll need. Also some clogs or something very innocent for the shoes. With the hairspray, tease up your hair real girly. Apply three heavy coats of mascara, tops and bottems. make sure your eyes stick out like a sore thumb. Most importantly, look very very animated. After all, you are simply anime yourself.
For a visual, look up some anime on yahoo or google. You could be struck with an idea.

Cute as a button: take that box of buttons that (if your a sower) you defidently have lying around somewhere, and put the buttons all over a plain white shirt and thrift shop jeans. Possibly get earring hooks at a craft store (if possible) and turn your buttons into earrings. Basicly, just glueing makes this costume... Well, cute as a button!

Baby: pajamas, slippers, and pigtails. Innocense in your eyes, and your already a baby.

Scard: Another costume pun. It's a simple idea, and you can do it any old way, but heres my modest suggestion:
Directions from the toes up are simple. Start with white tights, then move on to white clogs or any white shoe in the house. Next, a white skirt, and a white long sleeve shirt. Then, get a pair of white glasses and pop one of the lenses out (if possible) and hairspray your hair straight up. use powder foundation to de-color your lips. Use get lipstick and trace a line down from your mouth.
Also, if you do do this, I suggest you go as "petrified", not "scard" ;p

Trick or treat bag: where all the same color (that include a hat, shoes and makeup) and put a bag around your neck.
It's defidently the worst of my costume ideas, but you'll surley be able to spark something a little more creative then what I provided.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my suggestions, have a nice halloween!

First of all , cheap and inexpensive are the same thing.
cat- wear black clothes and buy ears and a tail
Charlie Chaplin- an oversized suit, a bowler, and some black makeup for a moustache. Waddle
Nudist on strike- self-explanatory, just make a picket sign
Dead prom queen- fancy dress, white and red and black makeup
Miss America- fancy dress, plastic tiara, smile and do the royal wave
hobo- black makeup and a handkerchief tied to the end of a stick- wear your oldest, most beat-up clothes
