Help!
I need ideas. I'm going to a Halloween party on Saturday and I don't have any sort of costume. Here are the supplies I have readily on hand. If you suggest something not on the list, please make it simple.
Now, go to it! I know some of you are probably costume geniuses.
Supplies:
- office supplies, like pens, post-its, and interoffice mail envelopes
- clothes for work, like tights (black and brown), sweaters, and button down shirts. Oh, and skirts, too
- jeans
- 2 scarves - one pink, one purple
- one Washington Nationals baseball hat
- one green fleece
- one denim jacket
- Converse - 1 pair red, 1 pair blue
- black ballet flats
- clogs - brown
- headbands
- barrettes
- pony tail holders
- lace weight cashmere yarn
- t-shirts
- pyjamas
- towels
- 2 potholders and 2 dish towels
- toilet paper
Anyone? Ideas? It's an emergency!

One of the more memorable costumes I've see was done by a guy who wore a box/carton* on which he had drawn windows, a door, some shrubbery, along with a triangular cardboard hat - he was "HOME BOY"!
*the carton was just big enough that it covered his torso - he cut holes for his arms and head to get through.
So Halloween is basically fancy dress? Perhaps you could wear your pyjamas and go as Bridget Jones (in full singing-into-the-hairbrush mode)
How about like your first Halloween--a clown? Yarn for hair with the cap over it turned sideways; lipstick cheeks; bright blouse; tights and skirt or even pj bottoms; fancy socks with clogs. Or the old box trick we used to do like Working Mom suggested--get some tempra (sp) paints and do what ever cereal box you have in the hotel, tights and clogs.
You could do "windblown girl." It's pretty easy, just put a piece of newspaper around your leg and maybe a coat hanger through a scarf to make it stick out. Then mess up your hair a little. You could also carry a blown-out umbrella. A friend once did that. It was pretty funny.

I can't think of anything, but you got some good suggestions so far! Can't wait to here what you come up with.
here is one i saw advertised on national geographic kids as a costume under $20. Cat in a Tree. Wear brown pants, buy silk leaves and wrap them around you like a shawl and then stick a stuffed animal cat on your shoulder. voila. cat in a tree.
