Transform into the iconic fairy tale figure, Red Riding Hood, with a modern twist, like with the costume idea by Samantha Ayala.

This might be an anti-climactic ending, but if you want to go for ultra-simple, using iron-on lettering, this outfit can be thrown together in the time it takes you to get dressed and out the door.
