1. Magic Mike: This funny but cute costume is super easy to DIY and sure to make for fun memories. Throw on some mens boxers, baggy sweats, and a bra or tank top and you have your costume! Add some accessories, a ball cap, some fake dollar bills, for better effect.

2. Disney Princess: This costume idea gives you a lot of flexibility considering the wide selection of Disney Princesses that exists. Tiana, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty are just some of the ones I have seen on campus. The look usually consists of a crown, a skirt, and a body corset that is in the colors of the Princess’s dress with some other fun accessories.
