Costume Changes

This term is usually used in reference to the 4 outfits I average during the day. Different activities call for different ensembles.

For this post the term assumes the more traditional meaning: For Halloween, I donned not one or two, but three separate costumes for separate occasions.

Matt had agreed to be half of a couples costume with me if I promised that I wouldn't dress as something overly conservative or "creative" (translation - ugly).

I make no apologies for taking an adamant stance against the sexy costume movement. Call me crazy but this

Will trump this

ANYDAY. Am I right??


On a side note, while we're reviewing celeb costumes, thanks Chris Brown for giving me yet another reason to wish you dropped off the radar completely. Perhaps next year you'll go as Hitler?

Moving on.

My first vetoed couples costume idea was for Matt to dress as Mitt Romney and I would go as a binder full of women. While Matt appreciated the timeliness of the costume, he countered that hiding behind a binder all night didn't quite live up to my end of the compromise.

So while he was out of town for the first Halloween party, I dressed up as half of the idea.

 

The "official" costume for the Saturday before Halloween, was a last minute throw together after many ideas had been passed on by either party and/ or were declined due to cost for shipping (overnighting some lederhosen from Germany was hardly justifiable, considering we didn't even don them for the actual Oktoberfest).

Here's what we put together.

And finally, with Halloween falling on an inconvenient Wednesday this year, the only dressing up I did was for work. We decided as a team to go as hipsters. There aren't any actual pictures of the concerted effort because, you know, capturing the outfits for the sole purpose of self promotion via social media is, just, so.... mainstream.

But in case you're wondering, we looked a little like this:

minus the beer bottle.
