With Halloween around the corner, we dove into our closets to find quick and easy costumes to please all manner of costume and cosplay enthusiasts!
Our focus today is on the determined Connie Maheswaran from Steven Universe!
Skirt | Top | Shoes | Bow
The strawberry to Steven Universe’s biscuit, Connie Maheswaran’s upbringing leads her to don a more comfortable attire. To snag Connie’s style, there are a few options to be found for a mint a-line skirt, but we chose Zappos as the closest, as it seems like a place Mrs. Maheswaran would allow her daughter to shop. If a plain white tee is somehow missing from your closet, no worries, Forever 21 has them on the cheap along with all sorts of fun socks to choose from. Ever the practical gal, head to Target to snatch up galoshes to keep your feet dry no matter what Beach City throws your way.
Have perfect vision and no use for prescriptions or readers? That’s okay, Connie does too. While you’re at Target, grab some sunglasses with round frames and pop the lenses out. Voila!
Want to take your Connie Maheswaran costume to the next level? Grab a toy violin, make Connie’s favorite book, The Unfamiliar Familiar, or have a friend join you as Steven Universe, jam buds style!

When you’re done, wind down with Ten Family Friendly Halloween Movies to help lull the kiddos into a candy coma! Afterward, you can set the mood with Five Albums to Flesh Out Your Halloween Playlist and huddle under the covers with Netflix and Chilling – Halloween Movie Edition.

With Halloween around the corner, we dove into our closets to find quick and easy costumes to please all manner of costume and cosplay enthusiasts!
Our focus today is on that gloriously upbeat, magical boy – Steven Universe. Let’s protect humanity from magic, and monsters, and stuff!
Shirt | Pants | Flip-flops | Ukulele
Steven Universe is the perfect mashup of comfortable and magical. We tried to stick to as few stores as possible for Steven Universe, since Beach City probably doesn’t have a ton of shops to choose from on their strip.
Steven’s star tee can be purchased via the Official Cartoon Network shop, or you can go the straight DIY route and put a star applique on a red tee. Craft stores like Hobby Lobby and Michael’s have piles of basic t-shirts and felt squares to chose from, and don’t forget to pick up a fake gem while you’re at it! Our choice for cheap slim jeans in a medium wash is Old Navy, where you can also find Steven’s signature flip flops for under 25$. You’ll even have enough left over for some fry bits!
Taking this costume to the next level? Throw on a cheeseburger backpack with a pocket for every condiment and grab a toy ukulele from a Halloween shop. Or go the extra mile with the real deal and serenade all of Beach City with some sick jams! Not wanting to play solo? Convince a friend to come with you as Connie Maheswaran, jam buds style!
