Halloween is almost here and I have been dreaming about all the amazing costumes I can wear and make. I am a girl who attends a variety of Halloween events, and I like to mix my costumes up so I do not look the same every time. Here’s my secret, I raid my BFF’s closet! Seriously between my BFF and I, we were able to pull together five hot costume ideas in no time at all and use mostly pieces we already have.
5 Teen Halloween Costume Ideas You Can Make By Raiding Your BFF’s Closet
If you do not have all the items you need to pull together one of these fab teen costumes, I have included some affiliate links below. I think these choices at Amazon, Modcloth and Target all have budget friendly choices to fill in the gaps for your costume.
Witch
You can make a witch costume from any black dress, but the lace looks extra special on this long sleeve tunic dress. Bump up the volume with cute booties and bright red lipstick. Add some creepy Halloween nail art to go along with your costume as a finishing touch.

20’s Flapper
Flappers were the fun girls of their era, and this costume may have you kicking your heals up. Your dress should be sleek, a shift dress was in then and so was lots of fringes. Add lots of embellished gold jewelry to this costume for that expensive 20’s look. Don’t forget the feather headpiece!

Ballerina
My BFF came up with this on point outfit. Pair a dreamy pink skirt with a tight fitted top with ballet flats and ta-da, ballerina. Keep the accessories classic and sparkly for this dreamy look.

Minnie Mouse
This costume is totes adorbs. I would be spinning all night in the cute Polka Dot Skirt. What really makes this look is those bright yellow pumps over black tights, very Minnie Mouse! Use a dark eye pencil to give your eyes an open-eye, cartoon character look.

I am totally mixing up my costume for all the parties I am attending this year. I have some plans for my own epic Halloween party with the ideas I wrote about in the post 6 Fab Halloween Party Games Your Squad Will Love. With these easy ideas, I can mix up my costume between the parties without spending a fortune.
Which Halloween costume is your fav? Tell me in the comments!
I think anyone can whip up a witch costume pretty easily! Thanks for the other great ideas.
These are such great ideas! I love that you can make them all just by digging through a closet.
This is so creative! I often, as an adult, have to go to a Halloween event last minute and never have anything to wear. This just might come in handy!
What a fun idea to just go into your own closet to get something for halloween. We usually don’t dressed up, but its fun to do it every once in a while.
These are super cute teen costumes! I love the idea of the gypsy its the perfect outfit!
I am loving that flapper costume! So fun! I know my daughter would love it if I went as minnie though!

Ha, ha, ha… I love it. All great inspirations for Halloween. I actually have a few of those pieces inside my closet. Thanks for sharing.
Love the witch costume! I think it’s great to be able to put something together at home. No need to spend/waste money on purchasing a costume that you’ll only wear once.
These are great Halloween costume ideas. I love the black lace dress. I will have to share this with my Daughter.
I love these costumes. My kids are still deciding on what they want to be this year. We love to dress up and hand out candy to all the little ones.
There’s so many costumes you can make out of clothing you already have if you’re creative about it!
There are 2 that are my favourites. The gypsy and the flapper dress. I love the skirt from the gypsy costume and the flapper style is great.
These are some cute ideas. Thank you for sharing.
I was a flapper before for a Hallween party. It’s a fun costume that you can actually rewear!
