s/o Halloween - what will you be this year?

DH & I have gone back and forth on a million different costume ideas. The original plan was Don & Betty Draper, but he has abandoned that to be Steve Jobs. Now I'm kind of stuck - any great topical costumes out there? I feel like Betty just won't be the same without Don.

  • I'm going to do Mary Poppins.  H, if he decides to dress up, will be Bert, mostly bc he is currently refusing and we can easily make the costume if he decides to dress up last minute.

  • We have a family costume - DD is going to be Little Red Riding Hood, DS the Big Bad Wolf, I am going to be grandma and DH the Woodsmen.
  • We're not dressing up this year. For giving out candy, I have a cute t-shirt with a haunted house on it that I picked up at Target a couple of weeks ago.
  • I think I will be Harry Potter. DH has no idea. LO will be a skeleton (see below).

  • I feel as big as a barrel (7mo PG) and I miss my wine so I am going as a wine barrel. the unborn babe will be our barrel-aging wine and DH might be a winemaker.

  • DH and I are dressing as Batman & Robin. The dogs are dressing as Mario & Luigi.
  • I already posted about my costume a few weeks ago, but the final outcome is that I am going as Katy Perry and DH is going to be Russel Brand if I ever find skinny black jeans for him (already tried two pairs and I love that DH now knows what girl's go through as the first pair were too tight)

  • This is going to sound bad but:  I'm going as a "sexy fairy".  It's a 1 piece outfit.  The skirt starts about mid theigh and the top is a VERY low (VERY VERY low) cut tank top.  The skirt lights up and I have a blond wig to go with it...  I've been in a boot camp for about 2 months now and have lost about 15lbs but have really toned muscles and good defination so I wanted to show off my accomplishment. 

    DH is going as my pimp.  He found a pimp costume and is going all decked out with the heavy heavy jewlery and complete with a cane.  For the shoes he couldn't find anything but we found women's lepord print slippers (the coat and pants both of leapord print pattern on the cuffs). 

  • I'm going as Bellatrix Lestrange. I found her wand and necklace on Etsy, as well as temporary dark mark tattoos. I'm wearing a black dress and boots, and bought a black wig with a white streak in it from Party City. Now I just need to buy a cheap face powder to make me pale.

    I wish DH was going as Voldemort, but the only costume we've seen looked terrible.

  • I'm not dressing up, except maybe wearing a black t-shirt with a pumpkin on it. LO is dressing as a lion.

  • DH and I are going as Al and Peg Bundy to a party this weekend.  We just got his Polk High jersey in the mail Saturday, and my huge red wig cracks me up :)  
  • If I can find a pair of overalls, I am going to be a farmer. LO is going to be a cow.

  • I'm a wolf this year!  I have a hood with ears and arms that are fuzzy, I bought some crazy fox eyelashes too.  I need my DH to make me a tail

     

    Dh wanted to be cookie monster but we cant find blue fur.  We went to Joanns and G Street fabrics with no luck.

  • DH and I are going to a party as Prince William and Kate. All of her wedding dress costumes were sold out online when I got the idea a couple weeks ago...so I'm going to wear a casual dress with gray tights and boots, my wedding tiara, and I ordered a fake engagement/Princess Diana ring from Amazon. DH will just wear a suit. We are being cheap this year. :)
