Halloween Costume

[TheEpitome1920]

I haven't dressed up for Halloween in decades but I am going to be a pumpkin this year because the office is having a contest and I MUST win!

I will be wearing a black mini-skirt. Which should I wear?

Fish-net thigh-highs w/ 5" heels, or knee-high lace-up boots?

Boots and fishnets. They look hot together.

Still lamenting over my lack of costume creativity this year... I thought I could dress in a polo shirt, white skirt and sneakers... just need a tennis racket and I can play doubles with someone! But the tennis racket could get annoying...

I just don't feel like dressing trampy this Halloween.... Awww... I think I'm growing up...

I hate the Halloween stores. SOOOO overpriced for terrible quality clothing.

And why do they make them so ill fitting? BF and I finally found something we could live with for a party that we're going to tomorrow night- he was going to be the Tin Man and I was going to be Dorothy (we're not feeling particularly creative). Fine. They only have a M tin man costume. BF is 6'3. The tin man should not be wearing capris and a belly shirt.

I try on the M Dorothy costume. I'm 5'7. It fits, but it so ridiculously short it covers maybe 1/3 of my behind. So fine, I try on the L. It covers perhaps 1/2 of my behind. The waist starts right under my boobs. Even if I wore something under it it would look stupid.

Who designs these costumes????

So we're going to be lazy. He's going to be Kfed and i'm going to Britney. Both of us will wear beaters and trucker hats. I'm going to carry around an boy Cabbage Patch doll (going to by a tshirt for him tonight and write "Sean Preston" on it) and a Starbucks cup and keep on dropping the doll.

I think i know the dorothy costume you have....that's my costume as well!

I know what you mean....i had to buy boy shorts to wear underneath (and on top of another pair of undies) just so that my butt wont hang below the outfit.

Ok, I finally decided. I am going to dress as a Magic 8 Ball. I will dress in all black, pin an "8" to my shirt, and wear a little purse around my neck with "fortunes"-- All Signs Point To Yes, Reply Hazy/Try Again Later, Very Doubtful, etc.

I'm going to Michael's at lunch to buy some glitter and foam paper.

That's awesome.... would you hate me if I stole it if my etch-a-sketch costume falls through? (Red shirt, white buttons on the bottom and a white board around my neck.)

You should make it a Crown Royal bag.

This is the best costume idea EVER. As of now, I have nowhere to go for Halloween, thus no reason to get dressed up yet. But I owe some people a picture of one costume, and so I promise to at least get that picture done. I don't want to let my eyebrows look scraggily just for a costume, so I'm going to town with an eybrow pencil instead.

I am going to be a tornado. I dressed as this one year and college and it turned out really cute, so hopefully it will be the same this year. Basically I wear an off the shoulder black shirt, black mini-skirt, and black leggings. Over that I have black and white tulle that looks gray when layered together, I wrap that around me and glued onto the tulle underneath layers and pretty much everywhere are farm animals, cars, and people. It's pretty sweet, except I couldn't find any miniature people for my costume this year so I had to settle for little ninja figurines instead, hopefully no one will notice.

Thanks to a sweet suggestion from Lil'Hannah, the husband and I are going as a Double Dare team (from the Nickelodeon show). Wal-Mart even had the big plastic safety goggles.
