Build Your Own Cheap Costume

Michael Scott from 'The Office': Men, dress up like clueless boss Michael Scott by pairing clothing you already own with new Halloween purchases. If you already own a nice dress shirt, suit, tie, and shoes, make sure you part your hair along the side and use this hair pomade to complete your business look. If you don't own any of the aforementioned items use the links to pick and choose items based on your sizes and prices.

Sexy Secretary: If you don't work in an office, here's your chance to showcase a vampy 'secretary' inspired outfit. Pair a straight black pencil skirt with a white long sleeved collard blouse, and stiletto heel pumps to create this look. Add some earrings, reading glasses, and fishnet hosiery to look smoking hot.

Worldly Gypsy: Look shockingly bohemian on Halloween night in a broomstick skirt, huge hoop earrings, a midriff belly baring top, and ankle bracelets. A great way to enhance your gypsy look is to wear exotic makeup. Skip the costume paint and select eyeliner, foundation, lip liner, mascara, and glittery eyeshadow from a variety of brands.

Athlete: Men and women alike can go as their favorite athlete. Purchase Kobe Bryant basketball jerseys or Terrell Owens' football jerseys in an effort to pay tribute to your much loved athlete or team. If golf is your sport a simple Polo, Nike hat, and khakis can turn you into stunner, Tiger Woods. Ladies, purchase tennis whites (tennis skirt and tennis shoes) to show off your love game.
