"Cat Burglar" | Easy Last-Minute Halloween Costume Idea

Thursday, October 26, 2017


Happy Nearly Halloween! Did that sentence give you a startle? If so, I hate to be the bearer of realistic news, but Halloween is only five days away. I know, I know. It snuck up on you. Samesies! Late last week, just one day before we left for Phoenix to attend our friends' Halloween party, I realized I had no clue what to dress up as. That led to me frantically Googling and Pinteresting "simple/last minute/at home/stupid easy costume ideas." But I couldn't find anything I liked, so I started going through ideas in my mind, and looking at what I already had in my closet that I could possibly use. That's how this easy-as-pie costume idea in today's post was born: CAT BURGLAR, baby.

It's the easiest costume I could quickly think of that is unique and still cute. (And I like all things cat-themed, of course. I mean, just look at my blog's banner...) All you have to do to recreate this getup is walk into your closet, find a black beanie, a striped top, a pair of black pants, and (most likely) purchase a cat mask then - voila! Easiest costume ever. (I only had to buy three pieces to complete this costume, so the total cost I paid was under $20!)


Black and white striped long sleeve top: Ross

Black skinny jeans (also seen here & here): Old Navy
[similar]

Black skinny belt (also seen here, here & here): J.Crew
[similar]

Black d'Orsay flats (also seen here): American Eagle
[similar]


Black knit beanie: Ross
[similar - and on sale!]

Black cat mask: Random Halloween store

Dollar sign robber bag: Homemade suuuper quickly from an old pillowcase 😅

Black gloves: Forever 21


The best part of this costume? Ditch the mask and the burglar bag, and it can easily be turned into a real outfit to wear after the Halloween parties!
(I probably should have used this opportunity to say "purr-ties" considering the costume theme.)


Black cropped moto jacket (also seen here, here & here): Forever 21


Turquoise flower ring: c/o Crown Jewelry

Silver triangle hoop drop earrings (also seen here & here): Target

Are you into homemade Halloween costumes or do you prefer the prepackaged kind? (Or are you, dare I say, not a fan of All Hallows' Eve...?!?!)

What are you planning dress up as next week? Let me know in the comments!

  2. Can't miss the wonderful styling and interior at this place. As I walked upstairs, my eyes wandered about the brick wall interior and the overall décor. This is by far one of the best LA venue to organize event.
