WIW: Last Minute Costume

October 21, 2011

What do you do when you realize the invite to your dinner party that nightย says “wear a costume”, and you don’t have one? Well, if you’re like me, then you go to your closet and realize that quite a bit of what you see is reminiscent of a particular decade. So why not make the most of that super sweet shoulder padded bolero,ย bust out your favorite side pony tail and clip on those radical dangle earrings–ta da! You’ve got yourself a costume.

And yes, while these are my 80’s costume sun glasses, they are also my everday glasses.
$5 from Forever 21, can’t beat that.

What are you going to be for Halloween?
Your kids?

    Suuuuper cute costume! Love it. I don’t think I will be dressing up this year. We don’t really have a place to go. The boys however are going to be the bomb! Munchie is going to be a construction worker and Dylie Bear is going to be an orange traffic cone. Can’t wait! Holidays are so much more fun when you have children.

    This is so cute! and the 80’s weren’t always cute! My son is going to be a monkey, since that’s his nic name, and I’m going to be the mom in the yellow hat…at least I planned on it. I guess I should get started on making that up!

    This year my 2 year old daughter wants to be Foofa from Yo Gabba Gabba, and we thought it’d be funny to dress up as a family. So she will be Foofa, my 7 month old daughter is going to be Toodee, I will be Muno and my husband will be Broobee…it’s going to be a hilarious sight ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Our 18 month old wants to be Shamu…”Mamu” in her words. I am thinking of going as a whale trainer. Leggings and a make-shift shirt with a sea world logo as my costume.

    I LOVE YOUR LAST MINUTE FIT!!! I just got invited to a costume party this last weekend and I literally went through my closet and threw together 6 mismatching peices and gave myself a mysterious name ๐Ÿ™‚ Turns out I looked super cute and it qualified as a ‘costume’. Hehe. LOVE IT!!!

    For some reason 80s costumes are always so cute to me…I wish it was socially acceptable to go out like this on a normal basis because it is cute! Love your “fix” for no costume.

    I love the 80s costume! Its one of my favorite go-to’s as well. This year I will be going as a “mommy” meaning that I won’t be wearing anything in particular since all of my energy has gone into baby J’s costume…and he will be a super cute 7month old furry green monster! He will model his costume for his grandparents since he’s too little to do any real trick or treating!

    Of course, there are other probable causes of eyebags.
    It is extracted from the nuts, specifically the kernels, of the almond plant.
    It helps balance the moisture in the skin, or replenish moisture

    Not all rosehip oils are the same as there
    are many different species of rose which are made up of different
    amounts of naturally occurring ingredients. While the essential oils are
    often considered the “active ingredients”, its important to consider the “carrier oils” are
    exceptionally therapeutic as well. This oil won’t become rancid, and it won’t lose its antioxidants, even
    if it’s stored for long time periods.
