4 Unique, Easy Costumes, Perfect for Halloweekend!

We get it... Halloween lands right in the middle of midterm season, and it’s so easy to be just another angel or sexy cat in the crowd... But why not bring back the good old days, when shopping for Halloween costumes was about being unique and expressing your creativity! Belmont Army Vintique, right off the Belmont 'L' stop, is the place to find every piece of your Halloween costume.

We took the time to go check it out, and also give you a few of our costume suggestions for the big day.

Dwight from The Office in Straight Outta Scranton

"Identity theft is not a joke, Jim!"

This is a funny costume that will definitely stand out at whatever frat party you're attending. And after all, this is Chicago, so the warmth from the hat is a bonus. Coat - $29.00 Glasses - $14.00 Beanie - $5.95

Dad at Disney World for the first time 

Honey! Where are the kids?

We've all had that out of body experiance watching our dad trying to read a map upside down while talking as loud as possible with his shirt tucked into his fanny pack. Or at least, I have. An easy, fun costume, and you can keep snacks in the fanny pack. Fanny pack - $5.00 Hawaiian shirt - $8.00 Sunglasses - $14.00 Disney hat - $6.00

Cowboy

I wanna be a cowboy, babey!

The key to this costume is to tip your hat and say everything in a southern accent. If you do it correctly, your friends will be sick of you by 9pm. This costume is easy to throw together at the last minute, and you can add in a ton of fun accessories. Yeehaw! Vintage western shirt - $39.00 Cowboy hat - $14.95 Bandana - $3.00

Grim Reaper

Oooo, spooky!

If you're looking to be a little edgy and scary this year, the grim reaper is the way to go! Find a black cape, sheet, honestly even a coat with a hood, and some sort of scary looking sword that you were never allowed to bring to elementary school, and you're set! Cape - $9.00 Scythe - $10.00

Belmont Army Thriftique is located at 925 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL 60657 and just steps off the Belmont stop. It is a little on the pricier side, as it does have a large collection of vintage items, but all the costumes we put together can be easily recreated at any thrift store.  Tag @finderskeepersluc in your spooky Halloween costumes this weekend, and you'll have a chance to be featured on our page!
